Skin Resurfacing in Miami

Pre-Treatment Preparations

The first step is to attend a consultation with Dr. Afrooz and our team. During this appointment, we will discuss your aesthetic concerns and medical history and thoroughly examine your skin to determine whether treatment is right for you. We may also advise you to:

• Avoid sun exposure, minimize sunbathing, and use sunscreen to prevent sunburns on the area to be treated
• Discontinue the use of any medication that might increase bleeding, like aspirin or certain supplements
• Pause or alter your current skincare routine, specifically products containing retinoids or glycolic acid

During the Procedure

First, your skin will be thoroughly cleaned to remove oils and makeup. A topical anesthetic will be applied to the target area to minimize discomfort.

Next, the ProFractional™ laser will be moved across the skin, sending targeted beams to create microchannels that stimulate collagen production. During the treatment, you may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

After the procedure, follow these guidelines to ensure proper healing and maximize the benefits of the treatment:

• Apply prescribed ointments to keep the skin moist and protect the newly treated layers
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure as your skin heals
• You may experience redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, lasting from a couple of days to one week
• Use gentle, non-irritating products on your skin until Dr. Afrooz indicates it's safe to resume your regular skincare routine
• Most patients find they need one to three ProFractional™ treatments, followed by a series of annual maintenance treatments to protect and prolong their results
