ProFractional™ Laser
ProFractional™ Laser
Years of outdoor living, afternoons along Lake Murray, and the South Carolina sun have a way of showing up on your skin over time. Fine lines, uneven tone, and a texture that feels harder to improve can all be signs your skin is ready for more focused care. ProFractional™ laser in Lexington, SC, at Lexington Aesthetics is a targeted resurfacing treatment that works with your body’s natural healing process to help address these concerns, with a recovery period that fits most patients’ routines.
The Sciton ProFractional™ system creates thousands of microscopic channels across the treatment area, triggering the body’s collagen response deep within the dermis. Because only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated at a time, the surrounding tissue stays intact to support the healing process. This approach delivers meaningful skin renewal while keeping recovery more manageable than a full-surface ablative approach.
Each ProFractional™ session is personalized to your skin. Your provider will adjust the depth and density of the treatment based on your specific concerns, whether that includes fine lines, acne scarring, or uneven pigmentation from prolonged sun exposure. Many patients plan for around one week of downtime as the skin heals and renews. Your provider will be available to answer questions at every stage of the process and will recommend how many sessions to schedule based on how your skin responds.
ProFractional™ Laser Has The Following Benefits:
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduces the look of acne scars and textural irregularities.
- Stimulates natural collagen production, which may support firmer-looking skin over time.
- Refines overall skin texture for a smoother, more even surface.
- Addresses uneven tone and the visible effects of prolonged sun exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
ProFractional™ is a Sciton laser technology that delivers precise, fractional energy to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These channels trigger collagen remodeling and renewal, helping to improve texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines and scarring.
Most patients looking to address fine lines, acne scarring, or uneven skin texture may be good candidates for this ProFractional™ treatment. Your skin type, tone, current concerns, and goals will all factor into your provider’s recommendation. A consultation at Lexington Aesthetics is the best first step toward building a plan that works for you.
Most patients typically experience around one week of downtime after their resurfacing session. During this time, your skin heals and renews as the body’s natural repair process works beneath the surface. Your provider will give you clear aftercare instructions and remain available throughout the process.
Some patients see meaningful improvement after a single session, while others benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions that makes sense for you depends on the depth of your concerns, your skin type, and how your skin responds to treatment. Your provider will put together a plan tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals.
Results vary by individual. Most patients notice gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and the appearance of lines and scars as collagen rebuilds in the weeks following treatment. Because results develop over time, your provider will check in on your progress and adjust the plan as needed. Full improvement often becomes most visible in the months after treatment.
