What is ProFractional laser treatment?
ProFractional laser treatment is an advanced skin resurfacing technique that targets scars and other skin imperfections. It uses a laser to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the healing and remodeling of scar tissue.
Who is a good candidate for ProFractional laser treatment for scar revision?
Individuals on a gender journey who have scars from previous surgeries, acne, or other skin conditions and wish to improve their appearance are good candidates. The treatment is suitable for most skin types.
How does ProFractional laser treatment help with scar revision?
The laser creates tiny wounds in the scar tissue, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This leads to the formation of new, healthy skin cells and collagen, reducing the appearance of scars over time.
Can ProFractional laser treatment be used on all types of scars?
ProFractional laser treatment is effective on a variety of scars, including surgical scars, acne scars, and trauma-related scars. Dr. Kim will assess your scars to determine if this treatment is the best option for you.
How many ProFractional treatments are needed to see results?
The number of treatments needed varies depending on the severity of the scars and the desired outcome. Most patients require 2 to 5 sessions for optimal results, with each session spaced several weeks apart.
What is the recovery process like after ProFractional laser treatment?
Recovery time can vary, but most patients experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for a few days after the treatment. The skin may peel or flake as it heals, with full recovery typically taking 1 to 2 weeks.
How soon will I see results after ProFractional laser treatment?
Some improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks of the first treatment, but the full results will develop gradually over several months as new collagen forms and the skin continues to heal.
Are the results of ProFractional laser treatment permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting. However, the degree of improvement can vary depending on the scar’s nature and the individual’s skin. Some patients may opt for maintenance treatments to further refine their results.
Can ProFractional laser treatment be combined with other treatments for gender confirmation?
Yes, ProFractional laser treatment can be combined with other skin treatments, such as chemical peels or dermal fillers, to enhance overall skin appearance and address other concerns related to gender confirmation.
What are the risks associated with ProFractional laser treatment for scar revision?
Risks are minimal but can include temporary redness, swelling, and, in rare cases, changes in skin pigmentation or scarring. Dr. Kim takes precautions to minimize these risks and tailor the treatment to your skin type.
How does Dr. Kim customize ProFractional treatment for each patient’s gender goals?
Dr. Kim evaluates the specific type and location of scars, along with your overall skin condition and gender goals, to create a personalized treatment plan that achieves the best possible results.
How do I prepare for a ProFractional laser treatment session?
Preparation involves avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare products that may irritate the skin before treatment. Dr. Kim will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.
