ProFractional and Contour TRL: what's the difference?
| Criteria | ProFractional | Contour TRL (Er:YAG) | Combined use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser type | Fractionated Er:YAG (2940 nm) | Complete ablative Er:YAG (2940 nm) | Both use the same wavelength for optimum synergy |
| Mode of action | Creates micro-columns in the skin, leaving healthy tissue between treated areas to promote rapid healing | Removes a thin, even layer from the skin's surface to smooth and even skin tone | TRL prepares and evens out the surface, ProFractional treats more deeply |
| Main target | Texture, scars, deep wrinkles, intense collagen stimulation | Fine and deep wrinkles, pigment spots and irregular textures | Simultaneous correction of surface and deep layers |
| Depth | Adjustable to the micron, down to the deep dermis according to indication | Adjustable, but acts mainly on the epidermis and superficial dermis | Allows treatment of all skin layers in a single protocol |
| Recovery time | 7 to 14 days or more depending on intensity | 5 to 14 days depending on depth. For deep wrinkles: 14 to 30 days or more, depending on intensity. | Combined recovery similar to a single treatment, but with optimized results |
| Results | Restructures skin deep down by intensely stimulating collagen | Significant reduction or even complete resolution of wrinkles | More complete and lasting overall results |

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a ProFrac treatment cost?
- What are the contraindications to Profractional treatment?
- How often should I have a Profractional treatment?
- Does ProFrac hurt?
The cost depends on the size and area to be treated, and whether it is performed alone or in combination with Contour TRL. At DBDJ, we believe that a personalized treatment plan is essential to accurately assess your needs and provide you with the most appropriate advice. That's why we're pleased to offer you a free initial consultation, during which we'll draw up a customized treatment plan and provide you with a detailed cost estimate.
There are some contraindications to ProFractional treatment. Here are some of them:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infections (e.g. herpes, impetigo)
- Recent use of isotretinoin (Accutane)
- Recently tanned skin or use of self-tanner
- Tendency to hypertrophic or keloid scars
- Severe inflammatory skin diseases (active psoriasis, severe eczema)
- Certain illnesses or treatments that may delay healing (to be assessed in consultation)
In many cases, a single ProFractional treatment can offer visible improvement. For more pronounced scars or wrinkles, 2 to 3 sessions may be recommended, spaced 3 to 6 months apart to allow complete skin regeneration.
For light treatments, an anaesthetic cream is generally sufficient to ensure comfort; for deeper treatments, a local anaesthetic or nerve block may be proposed. Patients often describe a sensation of intense heat or tingling during the session, followed by a sunburn-like sensation that disappears within a few hours.
