About

ProFractional® treats a fraction of the skin with micro-columns of ablative energy while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This approach jump-starts collagen remodeling for long-term texture improvements and allows recovery to be tuned—light refreshes or deeper corrective passes for scars and wrinkles.

Antiviral if HSV history.

The Benefits of
ProFractional®
Collagen Remodeling

Micro-channels trigger a wound-healing cascade that firms and smooths over time.

Targeted Scar Softening

Adjustable depth/density lets clinicians zero in on acne scars and etched lines.

Calibrated Recovery

Choose lighter settings for quick turnarounds or deeper passes for bigger changes.

Combinable Protocols

Works well with other Sciton modalities and topical actives for comprehensive plans.

Fractional Collagen Kick-Start

After cleansing and topical numbing (local anesthetic for deeper work if needed), the handpiece delivers patterned pulses. Expect heat and pressure with a “prickly” sensation. Sessions take 20–40 minutes; downtime ranges ~2–7+ days depending on settings.

Post Care
Hydrate & Protect

Use occlusive moisturizers the first days, then transition to gentle hydrators and SPF.

No Picking

Flaking grids are normal; let them shed naturally to avoid post-inflammatory marks.

Cool & Calm

Cool compresses help swelling; avoid hot water, steam, and strenuous exercise for 48–72 hours.

Active Restart Plan

Reintroduce retinoids/acids only when skin is smooth and provider-approved.
