What Is Photofractional™?
Photofractional™ is a comprehensive laser skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two powerful technologies.
ResurFX™ Non-Ablative Fractional Laser
ResurFX™ works beneath the surface of the skin to:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Remodel dermal tissue
- Improve texture
- Reduce fine lines
Collagen stimulation is key to achieving smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
By combining these two modalities in one session, Photofractional™ addresses both discoloration and texture simultaneously.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Lumenis® IPL technology targets:
- Unwanted pigmentation

IPL improves overall skin tone and clarity.

When Will I See Results?
Photofractional™ works with your skin to stimulate collagen regeneration over a series of treatments.
- Some improvement in tone and pigmentation may be visible after the first session.
- Typically, 3–4 sessions are recommended for noticeable improvement in texture.
- Optimal results are often achieved after 3–5 treatments, spaced 2–6 weeks apart.
- Continued improvement may occur for up to six months following treatment as collagen production increases.
What to Expect After Treatment
Immediately following treatment, you may experience:
- Mild redness

Swelling typically resolves within a few hours, and redness may subside by the next day or within several days depending on treatment intensity.
Most patients resume normal activities the same day. Avoid direct sun exposure for several days and apply sunscreen consistently as directed.
