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.

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.
