Ready for dramatically smoother skin and a complexion that truly glows? As part of Illuminate’s commitment to providing the most state-of-the-art and effective skin treatments available today, we are pleased to offer Sciton ProFractional laser treatments. ProFractional laser treatments are an excellent choice for anyone who feels self-conscious about fine lines, sun damage, extra pigmentation, uneven texture, or acne scarring and is looking for a safe yet highly effective solution with minimal downtime.
From the moment you make your first appointment and throughout your journey with Illuminate, we want you to feel completely comfortable in your decisions. We offer the widest range of treatment options available in the Bay Area, and we will only suggest those options that align best with your unique aesthetic goals. We prioritize providing the best possible care, and we look forward to helping all of our clients feel more confident in their daily lives. The ProFractional laser is one of many laser treatments that Illuminate offers. During your initial consultation, we’ll carefully examine your skin and listen to your concerns to determine if ProFractional treatments alone or combined with other treatments are the right choices to give you your desired results. Illuminate’s lead laser practitioner, Kelly Setoguchi, PA, is an expert in ProFractional treatments and has devoted years of experience to laser science and device development. She also shares her expertise with all aesthetic providers at Illuminate.
Our Palo Alto and San Jose ProFractional laser treatments target fine lines, wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and other common skin issues by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
With the ProFractional laser San Jose and Palo Alto patients have an advanced fractional ablative skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes fractional lasers to create microscopic channels in the skin, which trigger the body's natural healing process. The procedure involves using a handheld device that delivers the laser energy to the skin. The energy is delivered in a fractionated pattern, which means that only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. This allows for a targeted treatment, a rapid healing process, and minimal downtime.
The Sciton ProFractional laser treatment is one of the most effective treatments for reducing fine lines and sun damage while improving overall elasticity. It can be applied to the face and body. Because it’s non-surgical, you won’t have to worry about too much downtime. Our patients can mostly expect some redness (like a sunburn) and dryness for the first day, but full results will be noticed within just a week, and that’s with just one treatment. Depending on the area treated, here are just some of the benefits you can expect:
The ProFractional laser is a powerful means to smoother, more youthful skin with minimal downtime and can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. Most anyone can benefit. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin's condition and medical history to establish whether ProFractional treatments are right for you. Our topmost priorities are your health and satisfaction, so it's critical to inform us of any active infections, open wounds, or a history of keloid scarring, as these factors may restrict the type of treatment that can be performed.
During your consultation at Illuminate Plastic Surgery, Kelly and the team will examine your skin and discuss your specific concerns and desired outcomes. Prior to treatment, you may be advised to discontinue certain skincare products or medications that can interfere with your results. Your consultation is also ideal for asking questions and learning what to expect before and after the procedure. You’ll also be briefed on all the post-treatment dos and don’ts for an optimal recovery.
The Sciton ProFractional laser treatment, while non-invasive, may still cause discomfort. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout. The laser is then used to target specific treatment areas, promoting collagen production and skin renewal. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Soon after the procedure is completed, you can leave the office without assistance.
ProFractional laser treatment results are noticeable within a few days, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin. While some redness and mild swelling can be expected immediately after, these side effects tend to subside quickly. You can resume normal activities by the next day, but it's advisable to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks and use sunscreen regularly to protect the newly treated skin. To maintain optimal results, patients should follow a gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh products or treatments during the initial healing period. Our highly knowledgeable practitioners will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you experience the best outcome possible.
