If you are looking to help reduce the appearance of freckles, sun spots, acne scarring and sun damage, the ProFractional laser is among the best in its class for minimizing skin imperfections and promoting a more attractive, engaging complexion. Dr. Poulos offers state-of-the-art laser skin resurfacing at her AAAASF accredited offices in Worcester.
What is Profractional Laser Therapy?
ProFractional is Sciton’s solution for achieving excellent skin texture resurfacing results with minimal downtime. Unlike full field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound healing response, which stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing.
What are the Benefits of ProFractional Laser Therapy?
The benefits of ProFractional include increased patient comfort, shorter healing times, and tunable results that can range from subtle to dramatic.
ProFractional therapies are typically performed on a Thursday, so that the patient may recover over the weekend and return to work on a Monday or Tuesday. Results are amazing! Skin tone and texture are significantly and visibly improved. Truly dramatic improvements may be achieved in a series of treatments.
ProFractional is recommended in combination with almost any facial surgery – from BOTOX and fillers to a full facelift.
What Sets Dr. Poulos’ Practice Apart?
What makes the ProFractional treatment different from other medical spas is the expertise of the medical aesthetician providing the service. Each year, our aestheticians receive three full days’ of advanced laser training from the premiere aesthetic laser expert in the nation. Their review includes an overview of laser physics, Fitzpatrick skin typing, and tissue interaction. As always, Dr. Poulos is on-site and available to assess any patient’s specific concerns or candidacy for treatment.
