More and more people are looking for ways to correct and decrease fine lines, wrinkles, pigment, and scars. There are several options and lasers available now and the trusted Providers at Vitalogy Skincare are some of the most skilled and experienced practitioners of these treatments.

While everyone’s skin is different and every situation is unique, combining treatments has proven to be effective for a variety of skin conditions from photoaging to acne scarring. You’ll usually see better results than with a single procedure.

Fractional resurfacing is provided by Vitalogy Skincare with the Sciton® ProFractionalTM  and resurfacing is done with a Sciton® MicroLaserPeel®.

What are These Treatments?

Vitalogy Skincare’s Laini Moman, LA, explains, “In ProFractional laser therapy we are only lasering a fraction of the skin. This allows a more precise and aggressive treatment, but it also helps stimulate wound healing.” During this process new collagen is formed which adds firmness and resilience to the skin. ProFractional laser is great for wrinkles, scars, texture and certain types of pigmentation.

MicroLaserPeels remove a superficial layer of damaged skin which can contribute to a tired, aged look, revealing a more youthful appearance and even skin color. It is more precise and in depth than a chemical peel, so allows for a more controlled treatment. This is a great treatment for mild wrinkles, scars, textured lesions, and sun damage.

Why Combine These Treatments?

Combining these two treatments allows for a smoother, more supple and longer lasting result. The MicroLaserPeel would be step 1. we laser to a desired layer of skin which makes the ProFractional treatment more effective. We then layer the ProFractional which stimulates wound healing and new collagen.

By combining ProFractional with MicroLaserPeel (MLP), you can treat deep layers of the skin for tone and texture improvements. It also enables you to apply a superficial resurfacing to remove the visible signs of sun damage. Combining the ProFractional treatment with an MLP adds a youthful radiance to your skin.

ProFractional treatments alone as well as in combination with MLP can help minimize the impact from acne and trauma-induced scarring. These conditions often create uneven texture, color, and tone in the skin. So, combining superficial resurfacing and a deeper collagen remodeling helps blend these textures.

What to Expect

As Moman mentions above and according to Dermatologists who reported findings to Sciton, doing MLP first may improve the effectiveness of the ProFractional treatment. Moman also notes, “This treatment takes planning. We want to make sure you prep your skin to ensure the best possible outcome. We can customize this treatment based on the amount of downtime you have.”

Downtime can range from three to ten days of healing depending on the depth of the treatment.

A treatment tip from Moman – If you’re looking for a lighter version of treatment, the NanoXC and NanoLaserPeelTM are versions of the ProFractional and MLP at a more superficial depth. So, patients can receive some of the benefits without as much downtime.

Treating texture problems and scarring with ProFractional plus MLP is safe and effective for most skin types. However, these treatments aren’t for you if you have a medical condition that causes slow healing, certain auto-immune conditions, or melasma.

Treatments vary based on your desired outcome and what corrective treatment we are doing. One can definitely give you visible change, but some goals require more treatments. You can do another treatment as close as six weeks apart.
