What is the hype about FRAXEL?
FRAXEL is a type of fractional laser treatment that has gained significant popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin by targeting various concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. The treatment works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes collagen production, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking skin
Why should I consider a FRAXEL Treatment?
If you’re looking for a treatment that smooths fine lines and wrinkles, treats sun damage, improves skin texture, boosts collagen production, and provides long-term results, then FRAXEL might be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Beyond anti-aging, FRAXEL also targets pre-cancerous lesions, resurfacing them and potentially helping to prevent future skin cancers—providing both protection and improvement. It’s also unmatched in treating acne scars and surgical scars, leaving you with smoother, clearer skin.
What does FRAXEL treat?
FRAXEL is a highly customizable treatment that targets a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars and other scars
- Skin texture
- Photodamage
How does FRAXEL work?
FRAXEL uses thermal energy delivered via a specific wavelength, which creates thousands of microscopic laser columns that penetrate the skin. These tiny columns create controlled, precise injuries in the skin’s deeper layers, while leaving surrounding healthy tissue unaffected.
The fractional approach of FRAXEL ensures that only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, speeding up recovery and reducing the risk of complications compared to traditional full-skin resurfacing.
What is the downtime?
Downtime can vary depending on the treatment intensity and skin concerns being addressed. However, most patients experience:
- Redness and swelling for 48-72 hours after the treatment.
- Peeling and flaking between days 3 and 7.
- Full recovery typically occurs within 1-2 weeks post-treatment.
How many treatments do I need to see results?
While you may notice improvements after a single treatment, most patients will benefit from a series of 3-5 FRAXEL treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the severity of the skin concerns being treated.
How long do the results last?
FRAXEL results typically last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on lifestyle factors, skincare routine, and sun protection. After achieving desired results, maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months are recommended to sustain the improvements.
