Precise Resurfacing for Improved Texture and Tone

ProFractional laser treatment creates targeted microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve texture, tone, and scarring. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, our Skin Lounge team uses ProFractional to treat concerns that benefit from a fractional approach, leaving surrounding skin untouched to support faster healing. Interested in improving your skin's texture and tone? Schedule a consultation for ProFractional laser treaments in Nashville with our Skin Lounge team.

What Is ProFractional Laser Treatment?

ProFractional is a fractional laser treatment that creates a pattern of microscopic channels in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing than a fully ablative laser. These controlled channels stimulate the body's natural healing response, encouraging new collagen production as the skin repairs itself. Because treatment depth and coverage can be adjusted, ProFractional can be customized for a range of concerns, from mild texture irregularities to more noticeable scarring.

Are You a Good Candidate for ProFractional Laser Therapy?

You may be a good candidate for ProFractional laser treatments in Nashville if you're dealing with acne scarring, fine lines, or textural irregularities that haven't improved with topical treatments alone. ProFractional's fractional approach makes it suitable for patients seeking more significant improvement than a purely surface-level treatment can provide.

Good candidates are in good general health with realistic expectations about the recovery period involved, since fractional treatments require some downtime. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin concerns and recommend an appropriate treatment depth for your goals.

What ProFractional Laser Can Address

This fractional approach is particularly effective for a range of textural and scarring concerns.

  • Acne Scarring - Stimulates collagen to improve the appearance of pitted or textured scars.
  • Fine Lines - Softens early-to-moderate lines, particularly around the mouth and eyes.
  • Uneven Texture - Smooths rough or irregular skin texture across the treatment area.
  • Enlarged Pores - Refines the appearance of pores through improved collagen support.

What to Expect During Your ProFractional Treatment

ProFractional treatments are performed in-office, typically taking thirty to forty-five minutes, depending on the treatment area and depth selected. Topical numbing is applied beforehand to improve comfort throughout the procedure.

Most patients describe the sensation as warm with brief moments of more noticeable heat. Our team will walk you through your specific treatment plan and expected downtime during your consultation.

Recovery and Results Following ProFractional Laser

Recovery typically involves several days of redness and a sandpaper-like texture as the skin heals, with more noticeable peeling possible depending on treatment depth. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within about a week, though makeup can often be worn sooner to conceal residual redness. Results continue to improve over the following months as collagen production continues beneath the surface. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and checks in with you throughout your recovery.
