The Wellow Approach

At The Wellow, Photofractional® treatments are thoughtfully customized to address multiple skin concerns in a single session by combining light-based correction with fractional laser resurfacing.

IPL for Tone and Clarity

IPL targets areas of excess pigmentation and helps reduce the appearance of brown spots, redness, and uneven tone.

Combined Treatment Experience

Using both technologies in one session allows patients to address multiple concerns within a single treatment plan, helping support gradual, natural-looking improvement in tone and texture.

The Science Behind Photofractional®

Photofractional® uses IPL to target pigmentation and visible redness by delivering light energy into the upper layers of the skin. This energy helps break up discoloration and supports a more even-looking complexion.

The ResurFX™ fractional laser then creates controlled microchannels in the deeper layers of the skin to support collagen remodeling. As the skin heals, collagen stimulation helps refine texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, and promote smoother and more radiant skin.

The combined approach allows for visible improvement in both tone and texture over a series of treatments.

  • The Wellow in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood offers ResurFX™ Laser Skin Resurfacing, performed by highly trained, skilled medical professionals who specialize in achieving natural, radiant results.

  • ResurFX™ is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production within the deeper layers of the skin while preserving the outer layer. This allows for gradual improvement in skin tone, texture, and early signs of aging with minimal downtime. CO₂ laser resurfacing with UltraClear uses fractional laser energy to intentionally treat and renew targeted areas of the skin’s surface and underlying tissue. This process supports collagen remodeling and is used to address deeper wrinkles, scarring, and more established texture concerns. ResurFX™ is often chosen for gradual refinement, while CO2 laser treatments are selected when more significant correction and longer recovery are appropriate.
