Pro Fractional Laser
Treatment Overview
The ProFractional Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that improves texture, reduces scars, and combats aging with minimal downtime. Using a fractionated erbium laser, it creates microchannels that trigger collagen production and the body’s natural healing response. Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire top layer, ProFractional treats only a portion at a time, allowing for faster healing, less discomfort, and significant improvements in tone, texture, and elasticity.
Treatable Areas
- ProFractional is safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs.
What It Treats
- Pigmented lesions (sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone)
- Acne scars and scar revision
- Skin resurfacing (fine lines, wrinkles, and texture irregularities)
Benefits
Reduces Scar Visibility: Improves the appearance of scars by stimulating new collagen production.
Smooths Skin Texture: Helps resurface uneven skin caused by acne scars for a refined look.
Minimal Downtime: Targets only a fraction of the skin, promoting faster healing compared to full resurfacing.
Customizable Treatment Depth: Allows precise control to address different types of scars effectively.
Who is a Good Candidate?
ProFractional is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce scars (including acne scars), and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be customized for mild to deep resurfacing.
Those with sun damage, uneven tone, or pigmented lesions may also benefit. A consultation with a provider will determine if this treatment aligns with your skin goals and needs.
Pico Laser
Treatment Overview
The Pico Laser uses ultra-short energy pulses in picoseconds to precisely target pigment and skin irregularities without heat damage. It effectively treats tattoos, melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, sunspots, and uneven texture on all skin types. By shattering pigment into tiny particles for natural elimination, it clears and evens skin tone with minimal discomfort and downtime. Additionally, it stimulates collagen and elastin, promoting smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
Treatable Areas

What It Treats
- Tattoo removal (all ink colors and skin types)

Benefits

Who is a Good Candidate?
The Pico Laser is ideal for individuals looking to remove unwanted pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, age spots, and tattoos with minimal discomfort and downtime. It is safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI) and can be customized for various skin concerns.

A consultation with Dr. Andrey Kolesnikov at Silk Clinic is highly recommended to determine the best approach based on your skin type and treatment goals.
Before Your Treatment
Discontinue the use of retinol, exfoliants, and acid-based products at least 5-7 days prior to treatment to minimize skin sensitivity.
Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or sunscreen to allow for optimal treatment.
Stay hydrated and avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for a week leading up to the procedure.
Discontinue any blood-thinning medications (if approved by your physician) a few days prior to the procedure.
After Your Treatment
Expect mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity immediately after treatment; this should subside within 24-48 hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect your healing skin.
Use only gentle, hydrating products such as hyaluronic acid or those recommended by your provider to aid in recovery.
Avoid heavy makeup, vigorous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 48 hours post-treatment to reduce irritation and bacteria exposure.
