ProFractional™ Laser in Maple Grove, MN
Laser Skin Resurfacing for Acne Scars, Wrinkles & Skin Resurfacing
ProFractional™ is a type of laser that treats deeper layers of the skin to lighten acne scars, rough skin, and fine lines. It creates tiny channels in the skin, leaving the surrounding areas untouched, which helps the skin heal faster and encourages the production of new collagen for smoother skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
While improvement can be seen after one treatment, most patients benefit from a series of 1–4 sessions for optimal results.
Does it hurt?
