If you have had a combination MLP® and ProFractional / ProFractional-XC treatment, follow MLP post instructions.
Our profractional therapy in San Diego is used to improve overall tone and texture of the skin by targeting thousands of pinpoint areas. Because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. This skin’s wound healing response creates new collagen adding firmness and resilience to the skin. The procedure is performed in-office with limited downtime and is customized to your specific skin condition and goals.
What conditions can be treated with ProFractional?
Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment; however, the number of San Diego profractional therapy treatments needed may vary from patient to patient. For scars, a minimum of three treatments is usually necessary and depending upon the severity, may require as many as seven. A personalized plan will be created for your specific needs and to give you the best overall results. This plan could include but is not limited to: multiple treatments, combination treatments, and/or treatments combined with products.
Depending on the depth of treatment, most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within 3 days. It is important to remember that not everyone heals at the same speed and it would not be unusual if the healing process were to take longer.

Warning
There may be some degree of swelling immediately post treatment, however, if you have excessive swelling or any of the following signs of infection, you should contact the office immediately. Signs of infection include:
Remember
Patient response can vary after a profractional therapy in San Diego treatment. Erythema (redness) and possibly edema (swelling) are the desired responses along with mild pinpoint bleeding within a few minutes after the completion of the procedure. The degree of redness and length of healing time will increase with the depth of your peel and can vary from patient to patient.
For maintenance and to achieve optimal results, recommended products should accompany these treatments. These products include: growth factors, retinol, antioxidants, and sunblock with at least 7% zinc oxide or titanium oxide.
