Overview
The ProFractional application of the Sciton JOULE platform uses the ablative 2940 Er:YAG laser for effective skin resurfacing with minimal recovery time. The ProFractional laser creates micro-channels in the skin to trigger the skin’s healing response, which increases blood flow to the skin and natural collagen production. ProFractional Therapy is ideal for board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kesh Nawada's patients who want a treatment that works fast to improve their skin texture and tone. Depending on the patient’s needs, the ProFractional laser at the Nawada Plastic Surgery office in Central Florida (Winter Haven, Tampa, and Orlando) can create subtle or dramatic results.

Procedure Information
Before the laser treatment is performed, the treatment areas will be cleaned and the patient’s eyes will be covered and protected. After the plastic surgeon has prepared the patient, they will pass the ProFractional Therapy laser over the skin to create micro-channels. To improve results, the ProFractional laser treatment is often combined with the BBL application. ProFractional treatments are safe for all skin types and can be used on the face and body.
What to Expect
After the procedure, patients may have some redness in the treated areas, but they are able to resume their normal activities, to some extent, after their ProFractional laser resurfacing treatment. Skincare products to heal and protect the treated areas will be given to the patient. Usually, healing takes about 4-5 days and makeup can be applied at that time, once the skin is healed. Dr. Nawada and/or his nurses will talk to the patient about skin care products to use at home that will enhance the ProFractional treatment, as well as when to schedule a second or follow-up procedure.
