Chelsea Handler’s Before-and-After Photo From a ProFractional Laser Treatment Is Unbelievable
Celebrities in Hollywood are known for their unparalleled ability to look flawless, even when going makeup free. So, what’s their secret? Well, if you’re Chelsea Handler, it’s ProFractional Laser.
On Thursday, the talk show host shared dramatic side-by-side photos on Instagram. The before photo shows her face covered in what appear to be tiny droplets of blood (as if a small needle had punctured the skin) and the after image shows Handler’s face emitting a gorgeous glow and unbelievably clear complexion.

“Before and after. #profractional laser,” Handler captioned the post. “Its f***ing awesome and no one is paying me to tell you about it. Bam! To answer questions: I did it on a Thursday and filmed my show on Monday. I go to Melissa Montes at honest dermatology in encino, california. I did level 75. You can go up to level 400.”
Naturally, fans were curious about the post, commenting, “That’s insane. I’m gonna research this,” and “Love that you share your beauty secrets,” among other things.
So, what exactly is ProFractional Laser? Well, it’s a resurfacing treatment that targets small sections deep in the skin without taking off the outer layer, as other similar treatments do. It creates tiny microchannels underneath the epidermis to stimulate the body’s healing process and improve collagen production.
According to the Tribeca Skin Center, the redness seen in Chelsea’s first picture can last about four to five days, with mild peeling the following week. Considering that the after effects appear to be so fantastic, the redness and skin shedding certainly seem worth it. However, at $1,125 per treatment, you might want to think again before fully committing.
If your wallet can’t afford ProFractional Laser treatment, try an at-home resurfacing product like the StriVectin Resurfacing Concentrate ($72). You’ll get similar glowing results over time but at a fraction of the price.
