ProFractional Laser Resurfacing in Lone Tree, CO
When fine lines, acne scars, or uneven skin texture make you feel less confident, ProFractional laser resurfacing offers a proven solution. At Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics, our experienced team uses advanced Sciton ProFractional technology to help patients in Lone Tree and throughout Douglas County achieve smoother, more radiant skin with personalized treatment plans.
What Is ProFractional Laser Resurfacing?
ProFractional laser resurfacing addresses the skin concerns that develop over time from sun exposure, aging, and life’s everyday stresses. When your skin’s natural collagen production slows down, you begin to notice fine lines around the eyes and mouth, uneven texture, age spots, and possibly acne scarring from years past.
These changes happen because the deeper layers of your skin lose their ability to regenerate efficiently. ProFractional technology works by creating thousands of microscopic channels in your skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response to produce fresh, healthy collagen.
Unlike treatments that only work on the surface, ProFractional reaches into the deeper layers where real skin renewal happens. This fractional approach means only a percentage of your skin is treated at one time, allowing for faster healing while still delivering significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
Who Benefits from ProFractional Laser Treatment?
ProFractional laser resurfacing works well for patients who want to address multiple skin concerns with a treatment package approach. The treatment can be customized from a more gradual approach to deeper, more intensive resurfacing depending on your goals. Most patients are good candidates regardless of skin type, though our laser technician will evaluate your specific skin concerns and medical history during your consultation.
You might be an excellent candidate if you’re bothered by:
- Fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth
- Acne scars that affect your skin's smoothness
- Skin texture that has become rougher, or an uneven complexion from sun damage
The ideal ProFractional candidate is committed to following post-treatment care instructions and understands that optimal results develop over several months as your skin naturally stimulates new collagen production.
Common Skin Concerns We Address

What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
One of our experienced aestheticians evaluates your skin and discusses your goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan and provide detailed pre-care instructions to ensure optimal results.
Treatment
The ProFractional treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area(s) being treated. We apply a topical numbing cream for comfort, then use the Sciton ProFractional laser to create precise microscopic channels in your skin. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable.
Aftercare
You’ll experience some redness and mild swelling for the first few days, similar to a moderate sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days.
Results
Your skin will continue improving for months as new collagen develops, with meaningful improvements in tone, texture, and overall appearance.
Expert Care at Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics
At Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics, we use the Sciton ProFractional laser system, which offers precise, customizable depth control for optimal results. Our team of experienced aestheticians and registered nurses performs every ProFractional treatment, bringing extensive training in laser technique and skin science to each session. Dr. Tanya A. Atagi, a board-certified plastic surgeon with fellowship training in aesthetics and a Stanford Medical School graduate, brings her expertise to the standards behind every treatment protocol at our practice. We take pride in creating personalized treatment plans that consider your unique skin type, concerns, and lifestyle, and have served patients throughout Lone Tree, Castle Pines, and the greater Denver area for over two decades.
We typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals. Our laser technician will recommend the optimal treatment plan during your consultation based on your specific needs.
ProFractional laser treatment is generally well-tolerated with topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable, similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin. After treatment, your skin will look and feel similar to a sunburn for the first few days, which is a normal part of the healing process. Any discomfort is temporary and subsides quickly.
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone become noticeable within the first 1-2 weeks after treatment. The most significant results develop over 3-6 months as your skin naturally produces new collagen and continues to improve in texture, tone, and overall appearance.
You should avoid makeup for the first 24-48 hours after ProFractional treatment to allow your skin to begin healing properly. Once the initial healing period passes, you can gradually return to your normal skincare and makeup routine as directed by our team.
ProFractional laser treatment cost varies based on the treatment area and your individual needs. We provide detailed pricing during your consultation and offer financing options through CareCredit, Cherry, and PatientFi to make treatment more accessible.
After ProFractional treatment, avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and picking at any peeling skin. Follow the detailed post-care instructions provided by our team, including using gentle cleansers, provided moisturizers, and broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
