Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, Fraxel laser skin resurfacing offers a curated path to smoother texture, more even tone, and a youthful radiance. With a focus on artistry, safety, and individualized care, this treatment is designed to reveal natural beauty while respecting your unique skin.

What is Fraxel Laser?

Fraxel laser skin resurfacing is a fractional laser treatment that delivers energy in tiny, targeted columns to stimulate your skin’s healing response. By treating a fraction of the skin at a time, it preserves surrounding tissue to promote faster recovery.

Depending on your goals, you may receive a non-ablative (gentler) or ablative (more intensive) fraction of energy to improve texture, pigmentation, and fine lines.

Am I a Candidate for Fraxel Laser?

  • Individuals seeking improvements in texture, tone, and superficial wrinkles
  • Those with sun damage, age spots, or mild to moderate uneven pigmentation
  • People with certain acne scars or skin irregularities wanting a smoother surface
  • Generally healthy adults who understand downtime varies by treatment type
  • A professional consultation will determine if non-ablative or ablative fractions best suit your skin

How Fraxel Works

Preparation

a detailed consultation to choose the appropriate fractional laser and settings; pre treatment skin care may be recommended

During the procedure

the laser energy is delivered in micro zones, with cooling and comfort measures as needed

Recovery mechanism

surrounding untreated skin promotes rapid healing and new collagen formation

Treatment length

typically 20 to 90 minutes depending on area and laser type

Multiple sessions

most patients achieve optimal results with a series of sessions spaced weeks apart

Recovery and Downtime

  • Non-ablative fractions: mild redness or swelling for 1–3 days, minimal downtime
  • Ablative fractions (more intensive): redness, peeling, and flaking for 5–10 days or longer
  • Post care: strict sun protection, gentle cleansing, and prescribed topical treatments as directed
  • Activity: most daily activities can resume quickly, with precautions for sun exposure

Risks and Considerations

  • Temporary redness, swelling, or itching in the treatment area
  • Pigment changes (more common in those with darker skin tones) that are typically temporary
  • Rare cases of infection or scarring when aftercare is not followed
  • Not every patient is suited to every Fraxel modality; a thorough medical history and skin assessment are essential

What to Expect: Results Timeline

  • Early improvements in texture and tone can appear within a few weeks
  • Gradual, cumulative gains as collagen remodeling continues
  • Final results often visible several months after a treatment series
  • Treatments may be spaced to maintain or enhance outcomes over time
