ProFractional™ laser treatment

We conduct a detailed consultation before each treatment. During this consultation, we analyze your skin and discuss with you which skin changes bother you—e.g., acne scars, pigment spots, large pores, or wrinkles. Based on this consultation and a professional diagnosis, we decide whether ProFractional™ is the right method for your goals. The treatment is particularly suitable for structural skin problems, light-induced skin aging, or scars—both on the face and other parts of the body.

First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and an anesthetic cream is applied to increase comfort during the treatment. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the actual laser treatment begins. The fractional Erbium:YAG laser creates tiny microchannels in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This technique triggers a targeted regeneration process deep within the skin. Depending on the treatment area, the session lasts 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, many patients experience a strong sensation of heat, comparable to sunburn.

The first improvements are visible after around 10 to 14 days – the skin appears fresher, more even, and smoother. However, the final result unfolds over several weeks, as collagen regeneration continues to work deep down. Many report a steady improvement in their skin’s appearance for up to three months after treatment. Scars and wrinkles also become less noticeable over time.

The skin forms clearly visible scabs in the first 2–3 days, which later turn into fine flaking. This healing phase lasts a total of 5 to 10 days. During this time, the skin should not be covered with makeup and should be cared for particularly gently. After healing, the skin may remain reddened for several weeks—a normal sign of ongoing regeneration. Important: UV protection (at least SPF 50) is mandatory. Saunas, sun exposure, and intensive care products should be avoided for two weeks. Soothing, moisturizing care provides optimal support for the skin during this phase.

In addition to redness, scabbing, and tightness, temporary swelling may occur. Pigment changes rarely occur—usually when sun protection has been neglected. However, the treatment is generally considered safe when performed professionally and followed up with proper aftercare.

The cost depends on the area treated and the depth of the treatment. We would be happy to provide you with a transparent cost estimate during a personal consultation. Since the results are long-lasting, many patients consider ProFractional™ to be a worthwhile investment. A refresher treatment is recommended about once a year.

Yes—very well, in fact. To achieve comprehensive results, ProFractional™ can be combined with other methods such as the HALO™ laser, microneedling, or BBL Hero. This allows different skin layers to be targeted in order to treat pigment spots and structures simultaneously, for example. Your individual treatment plan will be agreed upon during the consultation.
