How Fraxel works
Fraxel® uses fractional laser technology to treat a portion of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and safety. It creates microscopic zones that target damaged cells and stimulate collagen. Treated cells shed over days, revealing smoother, more even skin. Mild redness or dryness may occur, and multiple sessions are often recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
As the hand piece glides across your face, you may feel a prickly heat sensation. Any discomfort can easily be managed with a combination of topical and oral analgesics.
You may see noticeable results after just one Fraxel® laser treatment, but a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the optimal outcomes. Over time, and as underlying and newly-accrued sun damage emerges, we may recommend repeat treatments to maintain your new baseline.
The results of your Fraxel® laser treatment will include a smoothing of scars, softening of wrinkles and fine lines, an improved skin tone and texture, refined pores and firmer skin. Pigmentation and sun damage are also evened, improving the very health of your skin.
Your recovery time will vary based on your treatment plan. You can expect at least 3-5 days of bronzing and sloughing. For more assertive treatments, or when treating areas such as your hands and chest, It may take 10-14 days to recover.
Being sun-safe is very important to preserve the results of your Fraxel® laser treatment. We recommend avoiding the sun at peak times and wearing protective clothing. Applying an antioxidant serum in combination with a broad spectrum sunscreen every day, rain or shine, are also key steps to ensure your results are maintained.
