Fraxel is a non-invasive, fractional laser treatment that targets fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates your body's natural collagen production and skin healing while leaving surrounding tissue intact for a faster recovery.
How it works:
Depending on your skin concern, dermatologists use specific wavelengths (e.g., the non-ablative 1550nm for deep texture/scarring or 1927nm for superficial pigmentation).
The Procedure:
Topical numbing cream is applied 45–60 minutes before the session to ensure comfort. The laser handpiece is then glided across the treatment area.
Downtime & Healing:
Expect a sunburned sensation for about 24 hours, followed by mild swelling and redness for 1-3 days. The skin will look bronzed and feel gritty (like sandpaper) before shedding over the next week
Results:
Most patients need a series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with full results visible in 1 to 3 months as collagen remodels.
Fraxel® treatment improves tone, texture and radiance for aging, sun-damaged or scarred skin. Fraxel is for people who want to look younger without dramatic changes or extended downtime.
Results don't happen overnight.Your skin continues laying down new collagen and remodelling itself for weeks and months after treatment, which is why improvements continue to build over time.
