ProFractional™ Fractional Laser in Brisbane (Teneriffe)

Why people consider ProFractional™ (and what makes it different)

ProFractional™ is often selected when you want a clinician-tunable resurfacing approach:

• Er:YAG precision (2940 nm): controlled fractional resurfacing with adjustable depth

• Depth + density selection: settings can be tailored to your skin type, goals and downtime tolerance

• Staged treatment planning: a more conservative plan can be chosen when appropriate, with review between sessions

Outcomes vary between individuals and no result is guaranteed.

What concerns may it be considered for?

Depending on your assessment, ProFractional™ may be considered to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles (appearance)

• Rough texture and visible pores (appearance)

• Sun-related photodamage and uneven tone (appearance)

• Acne scarring (selected cases; appearance)

• Surgical or traumatic scars (selected cases; appearance)

• Stretch marks (selected cases; appearance)

If your concern is better suited to another option (e.g., HALO® Hybrid Laser, BBL HEROic®, MOXI® or skincare), we’ll talk you through alternatives.

Treatable areas

ProFractional™ may be performed on (assessment required):

What to expect at Eleventh Heaven (Brisbane)

1) Consultation first (always)
We assess your skin, medical history, medications, and pigment risk, then explain expected changes, downtime, risks, aftercare and alternatives.

2) On the day
Topical numbing is commonly used. Treatment settings are selected based on your skin type, area and goals. Sensation varies.

3) After the appointment
Downtime varies by settings and individual healing. Redness, swelling, a bronzed/rough texture and peeling/flaking can occur. You’ll receive tailored aftercare guidance, including sun protection.

Results and how many sessions might be recommended

ProFractional™ results are generally described as progressive and vary based on your skin, concern and treatment settings. Some people choose one session; others consider a staged series with review between sessions. Your clinician will outline timing and maintenance based on response and goals. No procedure can stop the ageing process.

Risks, side effects and important information (please read)

All procedures carry risk. Side effects are often temporary, but uncommon and rare complications can occur. We aim to minimise risk through careful assessment, appropriate settings and aftercare advice.

Common (usually temporary):

• Redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness

• Dryness/tightness, bronzing, flaking/peeling

• Temporary sensitivity

• Temporary acne flare or irritation

Uncommon:

• Prolonged redness or sensitivity

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening), especially in pigment-prone skin

• Cold sore (HSV) flare in those with prior history (preventative medication may be considered)

Rare but potentially significant:

• Blistering/burn, infection

• Scarring

• Persistent pigment change

• Eye injury if eye protection is not used correctly

Seek prompt clinical advice if you experience unexpected pain, blistering, increasing redness, discharge, fever, or worsening swelling.

Combination planning (case-dependent)

Where appropriate, ProFractional™ may be planned with other treatments such as BBL HEROic® (light-based) and/or HALO® Hybrid Laser as part of a broader skin plan. The right sequence depends on your skin type, concern, pigment risk and downtime tolerance.
