ProFractional
The ProFractional laser device from Sciton is one of the most powerful lasers on the market. It has the power to penetrate right to the bottom layers of the skin and beyond should that be required. In contrast to the Contour TRL device, which removes the entire surface of the skin, the ProFractional device only removes a fraction of the skins surface – which is what allows us to safely go deeper down into the skin. It is useful when treating issues that are buried in the deeper layers of the skin – particularly scarring, such as that from surgical wounds, trauma or acne.

ProFractional laser treatment
The ProFractional laser is one of the most powerful and accurate lasers on the market. It allows us to accurately decide both the depth of penetration as well as the percentage (or fraction) of the surface we want to remove, with surgical precision. This makes it our go-to tool for treating most types of scars.
Some scars can be treated simply with some topical numbing cream. Usually however we are penetrating quite deeply and so an injection of local anaesthetic is required before the treatment.
The treatment itself can take anywhere from a few minutes, up to 45 minutes – depending on the extent of the scarring being treated. Afterwards you can expect the skin to be red, dry and flaky for around a week afterwards. Most scars require multiple sessions of treatment to achieve the best results, although it depends on each patients circumstances and particular type of scarring. This will be discussed with you at your initial consultation where we make a treatment plan for you.
Although you can never get rid of scarring completely, we can usually achieve significant improvement.

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.

Which anaesthetic is used?
ProFractional can be performed with either numbing cream or injections of local anaesthetic – it depends on the location and depth of the scar and the planned treatment settings.
What's the downtime?
There will be redness and dry flaky skin for around one week after treatment, although this varies depending on the treating you are having. Some very deep treatments can leave some lingering redness for a couple of months after treatment.
