Laser Skin Resurfacing Sydney Before and After
ProFractional laser is an advanced fractional skin resurfacing treatment offered at Muse Institute of Aesthetic Medicine in Sydney, designed to improve skin texture, acne scarring, fine lines and sun damage by stimulating deep collagen renewal.
Developed by Sciton, ProFractional is a fractional erbium laser that allows for precise, controlled resurfacing while preserving surrounding healthy skin. This approach supports predictable healing and gradual, long-term improvement in overall skin quality.
At Muse, ProFractional is used as part of a measured, evidence-based skin strategy focused on skin repair, strength and regeneration — not aggressive or trend-driven treatments.
What is ProFractional Laser?
ProFractional is a fractional erbium laser treatment that creates microscopic channels within the skin to activate the body’s natural healing response.
By treating only a fraction of the skin at a time, ProFractional:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin structure and resilience
- Allows for faster recovery compared to full resurfacing
Treatment depth and coverage are carefully selected based on your skin type, concerns and tolerance for downtime.
What to ProFractional Laser Treat?
ProFractional laser is commonly used to improve:
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Sun damage and photodamage
- Enlarged pores
- Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
It is particularly suited to patients who feel their skin requires deeper correction, beyond what lighter laser treatments can achieve.

How ProFractional Laser Works
ProFractional delivers laser energy in a fractional pattern, creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
These microscopic channels:
- Trigger collagen remodelling
- Accelerate cellular turnover
- Improve skin quality from within
Because untreated skin remains between each channel, healing is more efficient and outcomes are more predictable. Treatment settings are customised to your individual skin needs and long-term goals.
ProFractional Laser at Muse Institute
At Muse Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, ProFractional laser treatments are guided by a strong foundation in education, research and clinical governance.
Our approach to Sciton laser treatments is shaped by the clinical leadership of Dr Stephen Lowe. Dr Lowe is actively involved in advanced Sciton education and professional training, contributing to how these technologies are used and taught within the medical community. This expertise directly informs how our dermal clinicians are trained, how treatments are planned, and how safety and outcomes are prioritised.
For patients, this means your treatment is not just performed using premium technology — it is guided by protocols and standards used to educate other practitioners.
Where appropriate, ProFractional may be integrated into a broader skin plan alongside treatments such as MOXI, BBL or regenerative injectables, always guided by your skin biology rather than aesthetic trends.
Downtime & Recovery After ProFractional Laser
Downtime following ProFractional laser varies depending on treatment depth and intensity.
Most patients can expect:
- Redness and swelling for several days
- Mild bronzing or micro-crusting as the skin heals
- Gradual improvement in texture and tone over the following weeks
Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare guidance and recovery timelines tailored to your treatment plan.
ProFractional Laser Results
Results from ProFractional laser are progressive and long-lasting.
Patients commonly notice:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduced appearance of acne scars and fine lines
- Improved skin strength and resilience
Collagen remodelling continues for several months after treatment, with results improving gradually rather than appearing suddenly.
Your consultation will allow one of our experienced clinicians to assess your skin, develop a treatment plan, determine the specifics of the procedure and estimate the procedure time. All of these factors will help to estimate the total costs of your laser skin resurfacing procedure.
Is ProFractional Laser Right for You?
ProFractional laser may be suitable if you:
- Have acne scarring or textural skin concerns
- Want visible improvement in skin quality
- Are comfortable with some downtime for deeper skin correction
- Prefer a structured, medical approach to laser resurfacing
A consultation is essential to determine whether ProFractional is appropriate for your skin, or whether an alternative treatment would better suit your goals.
