ProFractional Laser
If you want to boost your overall skin clarity, improve tone, smooth wrinkles and decrease the appearance of scars with little downtime, the ProFractional Laser treatment may be suitable for you.
Profractional Laser is a comfortable resurfacing laser treatment that creates narrow channels in the skin to stimulate natural collagen remodelling. This may improve the appearance of your skin.
Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional treats only a fraction of the skin and leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing.
What it treats
Devices used in fractional laser treatment in Sydney, including the Profractional laser, work by creating micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new skin cell turnover and collagen production.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: This treatment may improve the appearance of fine lines by promoting smoother skin texture over time.
- Acne scars and scar revision: Profractional laser is commonly used for acne scars, surgical scars, or trauma-related scars, supporting skin renewal.
- Dull skin: By targeting the surface layer, a fractional laser may assist in restoring a more refreshed and balanced complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Profractional laser work?
Profractional users can adjust the depth of ablation and coagulation independently. Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, Profractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action initiates the body’s wound-healing response while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. The provider selects ablation depth, coagulation, density, and scan pattern options to custom-tune the treatment. A laser guide beam indicates the target area over the treatment area for ultimate precision.
Why use Profractional laser?
Profractional laser resurfacing can achieve a dramatic improvement in wrinkles and skin texture with only one or two treatments.
How many treatments do I need to have to have an optimal result?
Most patients will require one to two treatments, depending on the improvement and expectation you want to achieve, your Dermatologist will personalise a treatment plan. For acne scaring you will need additional treatments.
How much downtime is there for Profractional laser?
Downtime will vary based on the settings used on the Profractional laser (laser depth and percentage of skin treated) combined with your treatment goals.
A light Profractional treatment to improve overall tone and texture may only require 1-2 days of downtime, compared to a more aggressive treatment for concerns such as acne scarring or deeper lines or wrinkles, which may require 3-7 days for healing.
