Tag Archives: Profractional laser

JMC Miami Restorative Medicine’s Doctors are laser trained experts; one of our more popular procedures is profractional laser for age lines above the lips and for marionette lines below the sides of the lips. The Miami sun is brutal and one of the tell-tale signs of age are the lip creases that form from sun damage, dehydration, age and loss of elastin and collagen in the area. Profractional Laser is a more aggressive yet less harmful laser treatment that can eliminate these lines and also stimulate your own skin’s collagen and elastin production to slow down the eventual return of these lines or sometimes, avoid their return altogether. The laser goes beyond the skin to the dermis heating the area and stimulating collagen production. The uniqueness of profractional Laser is its ability to bridge skin where the energy is delivered thus eliminating fine ridges and deep lines. The healthy surrounding skin stimulates new skin growth that is rich in collagen and elastin. Profractional laser at JMC Restorative Medicine is done with a topical cream anesthetic but is generally painless. Treatment lasts 15-30 minutes depending on amount of skin treated and recovery is complete within 2 days. Positive skin changes are noticeable within 3 weeks of the procedure Lines, wrinkles and also, acne scars are much diminished and skin has a healthier, younger appearance. Ideally results last a few years but it is recommended that most patients have 3-5 sessions. Side effects include redness, swelling, peeling, and when these occur it can take up to 2 weeks for all signs to disappear.
