ProFractional Laser Treatment In Reno
This non-surgical, advanced laser treatment uses controlled laser energy to address a variety of skin concerns and targets only a fraction of your skin’s surface at a time. Compared to traditional laser treatments, this innovative approach promotes faster healing and minimizes downtime, allowing you to get back to your daily routine quickly.
ProFractional laser treatment creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the targeted areas of your skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The benefits?
This treatment can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve overall skin texture and tone, minimize acne scars and other blemishes, promote collagen production for a firmer and more youthful look, and even out sun damage and hyperpigmentation. All in efforts to give you smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

What to Expect During Your ProFractional Laser Treatment
We’ll start with a consultation to ensure the treatment aligns with your goals. To minimize discomfort, your provider will prescribe numbing cream that you’ll apply one hour before your scheduled procedure.
During your procedure, your provider will use the ProFractional laser to precisely target your concerns. The laser’s intensity and depth can be adjusted based on your skin concerns and the area being treated. You may experience warmth and some mild discomfort during your procedure. This is normal and your provider will use a machine that provides cool air to minimize discomfort.
Treatment duration varies based on the area treated, but the procedure typically takes 45 minutes to one hour. We’ll always discuss specifics of your treatment during your consultation.
ProFractional Laser Recovery
Following your ProFractional laser treatment, you can expect some temporary redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation, but this should fade after a few days.
Your provider will give you aftercare instructions which will include a recovery kit. While some redness is normal, downtime is minimal and you’ll be able to resume your daily activities within a few days. Total recovery time for the treated area is around five days.
As your body ramps up collagen production over a few weeks to a month, you’ll gradually see smoother, younger-looking skin.
ProFractional Laser Treatment FAQs
What Is ProFractional Laser Treatment?
ProFractional laser treatment is a non-surgical option for smoother, younger-looking skin. This fractional laser creates tiny channels deep within targeted areas to trigger collagen production that addresses wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven texture. The customizable treatment offers faster healing and minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers.
Is ProFractional Laser Treatment Worth It?
The answer depends on your individual goals, skin condition, and tolerance for downtime.
ProFractional laser treatment is effective at improving fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, among other skin issues, and is a non-surgical approach with minimal downtime.
Some potential downsides when weighing your decision include the cost, as it can be expensive, and that the treatment may not be suitable for everyone depending on skin tones and certain skin conditions.
How Does ProFractional Laser Treatment Work?
ProFractional laser treatment uses a fractional laser to create controlled micro-injuries deep within targeted areas of your skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional lasers, ProFractional laser treatment leaves your surrounding tissue intact which allows for faster healing and minimal downtime. The treatment can also be customized to your specific skin concerns for better results.
How Long Does ProFractional Laser Treatment Last?
The effects of ProFractional laser treatment never go away but one to two treatments a year are necessary to counteract the effects of normal aging. Certain factors that influence how long these effects last are sun exposure and damage, lifestyle factors like smoking—which can accelerate aging—and whether or not you have a good skincare routine to support collagen production.
