The ProFractional Laser Resurfacing Treatment
To begin your treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort. Once the skin is prepared, the laser is adjusted to target your specific concerns and skin depth. The treatment creates a pattern of micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural healing response without damaging the skin’s surface. Depending on the size of the area treated, the procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and can be performed on the face, neck, chest, or hands.
Recovery & Results for ProFractional Laser Resurfacing
Recovery
Recovery from ProFractional is generally mild. For the first few days, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a mild sunburn feeling. Light flaking or peeling may occur as the skin renews itself. Most patients can resume normal activities within four to five days. However, makeup should be avoided until the skin has fully healed. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve the optimal results.
Results
You will notice a smoother texture and a more even tone as your skin heals. Improvements continue over the following weeks as collagen production increases, helping to firm and plump the skin from within. Many patients see visible improvements after one treatment, although a series of sessions may be recommended for more advanced skin concerns. Results can be long-lasting with proper skincare and sun protection.

Contact UsWhat is ProFractional Laser Resurfacing?
ProFractional by Sciton is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that creates microchannels in the skin using an erbium:YAG laser. Unlike fully ablative lasers that remove entire layers of skin, ProFractional leaves surrounding tissue intact, promoting faster healing and reduced downtime. By reaching into the dermis, our ProFractional treatment effectively stimulates new collagen production, helping to firm the skin and improve surface imperfections such as lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, and sun damage.
Candidates for ProFractional Laser Resurfacing
ProFractional is ideal for individuals who want noticeable skin improvements with minimal recovery time. It effectively treats acne scars, signs of aging, sun damage, and texture concerns. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, our team will assess your skin and determine if ProFractional laser resurfacing is the best treatment to meet your goals.
