What is Sciton ProFractional?

Some concerns sit deeper than maintenance can reach. Etched lines around the mouth, acne scars that catch the light, texture that makeup cannot soften. When skin needs more than a facial but does not require full ablative resurfacing, ProFractional offers a precise, customizable middle path.

ProFractional is an erbium fractional resurfacing laser. Instead of treating the entire surface, it creates controlled micro-channels in a precise pattern. The skin around each channel stays intact, which speeds healing while collagen rebuilds beneath. Texture smooths, fine lines soften, and acne scars improve as collagen remodels.

02 · The technology

Why fractional resurfacing heals faster

Treating the skin fractionally, in tiny columns rather than all at once, is what lets ProFractional deliver real collagen remodeling with controlled downtime. Depth and coverage are tailored to your skin and your goals.

Micro-channels
Precise columns

Controlled micro-channels remodel collagen exactly where scars and texture sit.

Intact skin
Faster healing

Healthy skin between the channels speeds recovery and lowers risk.

Tunable depth
Built for you

Depth and density are set to your skin, from light refinement to deeper correction.

ProFractional focuses on depth. When texture and scarring are the priority and pigment is not the driving factor, it is one of the most targeted tools we have.

What ProFractional treats best

ProFractional sits between MOXI and full ablative resurfacing. It is chosen for meaningful correction with manageable recovery, commonly for:

  • Acne & surgical scarsDepressed acne scars and post-surgical texture, softened as collagen remodels at depth.
  • Etched perioral linesFine vertical lines around the mouth that makeup tends to settle into.
  • Uneven textureRough, irregular surface that makes skin look tired in natural light.
  • Enlarged poresVisible pore size and surface roughness across the cheeks and nose.
  • Early fine linesLines becoming more noticeable at rest, before deeper resurfacing is needed.
  • Scar refinementTargeted smoothing of indented or textured scars over a series.

For prevention and brightness, MOXI is the lighter option. When tone and pigment are also a concern, HALO treats both at once. For the deepest structural correction, Contour TRL goes further. ProFractional can also be staged within a TRIBRID plan.
