Expert laser treatments in Kitchener-Waterloo.
All the winter layers are falling away as the temperature rises and we embrace the beautiful Southern Ontario summer while we can! In addition to changes in our wardrobe, our skincare and makeup routines shift towards lighter textures and a more natural, no-makeup look. With all the heat and humidity, no one likes a midday melt on their face! In order to carry this off well, you need a foundation of healthy, smooth, and even skin. The fastest and most effective way to make this happen is with a ProFractional laser treatment. Nurse Natalie explains it for us here.
All about ProFractional laser.
I love this treatment for its unparalleled effectiveness. It’s quick, and delivers great results for improving the overall appearance of the skin with a relatively short downtime. You can have substantially smoother, younger-looking skin without having to hide away from life, which is ideal for the busy lives we lead. I call this my “surgical laser” because of how incredibly effective it is.
How it works.
ProFractional breaks up the laser beam into thousands of pinpoint microbeams that treat fractions of your skin. This leaves the surrounding skin intact, which makes the healing time quick and downtime minimal compared to traditional non-fractionated lasers. The process stimulates the skin’s healing process, which generates new collagen for smoother skin, and refined pores. The treatment also targets pigmented cells, which fades and eliminates skin discolouration for a more even skin tone.
What to expect post-treatment.
After the treatment, the skin is red and a bit weepy. Topical treatments are used for 1-4 days to protect the freshly treated skin and to speed up recovery. By day 4-5, any residual redness is easily concealed with a skin-friendly cosmetic mineral makeup such as glo·minerals. Doing your glo·minerals makeover is one of my favourite parts of the profractional treatment process! It’s also important to wear sunscreen and avoid the sun while your skin heals. The skin should be beautifully refreshed within 4-6 days following the treatment.
I often recommend this as a series of treatments, as just one treatment delivers a beautiful glow, but 3-4 follow up treatments spaced about a month apart will make the biggest long-term improvements for the skin texture and tone.
