PROFRACTIONAL

For many in our community, surgical scars are symbols of a powerful Gender Journey; however, for others, prominent scars can be a source of dysphoria or unwanted attention. ProFractional™ is an advanced laser resurfacing technology that creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response to replace thick, fibrous scar tissue with fresh, smooth collagen, effectively "blending" surgical scars into the surrounding skin.

Dr. Claudia Kim utilizes this technology to refine and minimize scars from a variety of gender-affirming procedures, including:

• Incisions from Chest Masculinization (Top Surgery)

• Breast fold or areolar scars from Breast Augmentation

• Facial incisions from Facial Feminization or Facial Masculinization

• Phalloplasty or Donor Site scarring

If you have matured scars (typically 6–12 months post-op) that are raised, discolored, or textured, you are likely an excellent candidate. ProFractional™ is safe for most skin types. During your consultation at New Look New Life, we will assess your skin’s pigment and healing history to ensure the safest laser settings for your specific complexion.

While some improvement in texture is often visible after the first session, scar revision is a gradual process of "polishing" the skin. Most patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a series of 2 to 5 sessions, spaced several weeks apart.

Recovery is significantly faster than traditional full-field laser resurfacing. You may experience redness and a sensation similar to a sunburn for 2 to 4 days. Most patients return to their daily routines within a few days, making it an easy addition to your post-surgical maintenance.

Yes. Once the ProFractional™ laser remodels the scar tissue and stimulates new collagen, those structural changes are permanent. Your skin will continue to look smoother and more integrated for years to come.

Absolutely. For the ultimate skin transformation, Dr. Claudia Kim often combines ProFractional™ with Forever Young BBL. While ProFractional™ fixes the texture and depth of a scar, BBL targets the redness or dark pigment, leaving the area nearly invisible.

Yes! We see many patients whose acne scarring has become more prominent due to HRT-related skin changes. ProFractional™ is the gold standard for smoothing out "pitted" acne scars, helping you achieve the clear, confident complexion you deserve.

At New Look New Life, we recognize that for many trans and non-binary individuals, showing surgical scars—even "after" photos—can feel deeply personal or even dysphoric. To protect the dignity and privacy of our community, we choose not to post these images in a public gallery. However, Dr. Claudia Kim is happy to share her portfolio of successful scar revisions with you privately and respectfully during your consultation.
