What Is ProFractional XC Laser Resurfacing?

ProFractional XC is an ablative fractional laser treatment that delivers precise beams of energy into the skin, creating thousands of micro-channels that trigger your body’s natural healing response. This process removes damaged surface cells while stimulating collagen and elastin in the deeper layers, leading to firmer, healthier, more even-toned skin.

This treatment can be customized for your skin type and goals — from light to deep resurfacing — making it ideal for both targeted concerns and full-face rejuvenation.

Benefits of ProFractional XC in Tampa

Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

Tailored treatment depth for minimal downtime

What Can ProFractional XC Treat?

This versatile laser treatment is an ideal option for improving a wide range of concerns, including:

Wrinkles and expression lines
Sunspots and brown discoloration
Uneven tone and rough texture
Scars from acne, surgery, or trauma
Enlarged pores
Pigmentation irregularities
Loss of skin elasticity on the face and neck

What Makes ProFractional XC Different?

Unlike full-field ablative lasers that remove the entire surface layer of skin, ProFractional XC treats only a fraction of the skin — leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing. This results in fewer side effects, less downtime, and a much more comfortable experience overall.

It’s also highly customizable, allowing your provider to target problem areas with precision.

Treatment Details

Topical numbing is applied for comfort
The laser handpiece is passed over targeted areas
Treatment time ranges from 15–45 minutes, depending on depth and area size
Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or prickling
Post-treatment cooling and skin care are applied immediately after

Recovery & Results

Healing time depends on the depth of your treatment:

Light resurfacing: 2–3 days of redness and flaking
Moderate resurfacing: 4–6 days of downtime
Deep resurfacing: up to 7–10 days of recovery

You may notice immediate improvement in skin tone and texture, with more dramatic results developing over 3 to 6 months as collagen continues to regenerate. Scars, discoloration, and lines will visibly soften with each session.
