ProFractional® Resurfacing by Sciton is an advanced erbium laser treatment that improves skin tone, smooths texture, and stimulates natural collagen remodeling. By creating micro-channels in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, ProFractional® accelerates healing and delivers dramatic improvements with shorter downtime than traditional full-field resurfacing. At Elysium Chicago Aesthetics + Longevity, we use this treatment to help patients in Chicago, River North, and Downtown Chicago achieve youthful, radiant skin.

Overview
What are ProFractional® Resurfacing Laser Resurfacing Treatments?
ProFractional® Resurfacing works by delivering fractionated erbium laser energy into the skin to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen production and accelerate the skin’s natural healing response. Unlike fully ablative lasers, ProFractional® treats a fraction of the skin surface, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster recovery.
At Elysium Chicago, our expert providers customize the depth and intensity of each treatment based on your goals, whether you want subtle renewal or more dramatic resurfacing.
