Fraxel

If you're looking for a non-surgical way to improve your skin's tone, texture, and overall appearance, Fraxel is a top-tier option with clinically proven results. It offers a powerful balance between results and downtime, making it a go-to treatment in modern dermatology and aesthetics.

What Is Fraxel?

Fraxel is a brand of fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment. It uses advanced laser technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin's layers. The idea? Stimulate your body's natural healing process and encourage the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells.

Unlike more aggressive treatments, Fraxel is designed to treat only a "fraction" of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This approach helps promote faster healing while still delivering dramatic results.

What Does Fraxel Treat?

Fraxel can improve a wide range of skin concerns, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes and mouth)
Sun damage and age spots
Acne scars and surgical scars
Pigmentation issues, like melasma
Uneven skin tone and rough texture
Large pores

It's safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and even some parts of the body.

How Does It Work?

Fraxel lasers create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microscopic columns of treated skin trigger a natural healing response, which leads to the formation of new collagen and skin regeneration.

What to Expect: Treatment & Recovery

Before:

You'll typically have a consultation to determine if you're a good candidate. Your provider may recommend prepping your skin a few weeks in advance with a skincare routine.

During:

A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. The session usually lasts 20-45 minutes depending on the area treated.

After:

Post-treatment, your skin will feel like a sunburn-red, warm, and slightly swollen. Peeling and flaking can occur over the next few days. Most people resume normal activities within a few days, but full healing can take up to a week or two.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Results vary depending on your skin concerns and goals. Some people see results after just one session, while others benefit most from a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced several weeks apart.

Final Thoughts

Fraxel is more than a buzzword-it's a trusted, FDA-approved technology that's helped countless people feel more confident in their skin. Whether you're battling sun spots, scars, or just want a fresh start, this laser treatment might be your secret weapon.
