ProFractional Laser in Cincinnati, Ohio
Advanced Skin Resurfacing for Smoother, Clearer, and More Youthful Skin
Over time, your skin naturally shows signs of aging, sun damage, and environmental stress. Fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and discoloration can make your complexion look dull or aged, even when you take great care of your skin.
At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, ProFractional Laser offers an advanced solution for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. This powerful treatment targets damaged skin at a deeper level, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.
If you are looking for a treatment that delivers noticeable improvement in texture, tone, and overall skin quality, ProFractional Laser may be the ideal option.
What Is ProFractional Laser?
ProFractional Laser is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional laser treatments that treat the entire surface of the skin, ProFractional targets only a fraction of the skin at a time.
This approach allows for:
- Faster healing
- Reduced downtime compared to fully ablative lasers
- Effective treatment of deeper skin concerns
- Enhanced collagen production
ProFractional Laser is designed to improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and restore a more youthful appearance.
How ProFractional Laser Works
ProFractional Laser uses advanced laser technology to create microscopic channels in the skin.
Controlled Micro-Injuries
The laser creates thousands of tiny treatment zones within the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This promotes faster healing and reduces recovery time.
Collagen Stimulation
These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Skin Renewal
As the skin heals, new, healthier skin cells replace damaged tissue, improving overall texture and tone.
Deep Resurfacing
ProFractional Laser penetrates deeper than many superficial treatments, making it highly effective for addressing more advanced skin concerns.
The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
What Concerns Can ProFractional Laser Treat?
ProFractional Laser is highly versatile and can address a wide range of skin concerns.
Common concerns include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
Because it works at a deeper level, ProFractional Laser is especially effective for patients seeking more dramatic improvement than lighter treatments can provide.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
ProFractional Laser can be used on multiple areas of the body.
Common treatment areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
- Back
These areas are often exposed to sun damage and are prone to visible signs of aging.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your ProFractional Laser experience begins with a consultation at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center.
During your consultation, your provider will:
- Evaluate your skin
- Discuss your concerns and goals
- Determine if ProFractional Laser is right for you
- Create a customized treatment plan
During Your Appointment
- A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort
- The laser device is passed over the treatment area
- You may feel a warm or prickling sensation
Treatment time typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated.
After Your Treatment
After ProFractional Laser treatment, your skin will begin its natural healing process.
What to expect:
- Redness similar to a sunburn
- Mild swelling
- A rough or sandpaper-like texture as the skin heals
- Peeling or flaking over several days
Downtime typically ranges from a few days to about a week, depending on the intensity of the treatment.
Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and desired results.
- Some patients achieve noticeable improvement after one session
- Others may benefit from a series of treatments for optimal results
Your provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
When Will You See Results?
Results from ProFractional Laser develop gradually as the skin heals and collagen production increases.
Timeline for results:
- Initial improvement as the skin heals
- Continued improvement over several weeks
- Full results visible after a few months
Because collagen remodeling takes time, your skin will continue to improve long after your treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
ProFractional Laser results can be long-lasting, especially with proper skincare and sun protection.
To maintain your results, we recommend:
- Daily use of sunscreen
- A consistent skincare routine
- Periodic maintenance treatments if needed
With proper care, you can enjoy smoother, more youthful skin for an extended period.
