Laser Treatment for Skin Resurfacing - Fraxel®

Dramatically improve skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles and sun damage, with the Industry’s leading technology in skin resurfacing treatments – Fraxel Restore®.

Fraxel® Restore 1550nm erbium fibre laser is the gold standard for skin resurfacing. Fraxel® targets aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodeling of collagen.

What is the difference between Fraxel® and Clear & Brilliant®?

Fraxel® DUAL 1550nm & 1927nm erbium fibre laser is an intensive, deeply penetrating, skin resurfacing procedure to treat wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, uneven skin tone, acne and surgical scars, stretch marks and more.  Fraxel® is the gold standard in skin resurfacing and is a more powerful treatment than our Clear & Brilliant®, which comes with slightly longer downtime.

Clear & Brilliant®, also known as the “mini Fraxel®”, is also a non-ablative fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment, which treats more superficial skin concerns, and treats signs of aging by providing a smoother skin tone and texture. The Clear & Brilliant® treatment system is an innovative procedure that gives patients noticeable results with less downtime.

What to expect during treatment

Before your treatment, topical numbing cream will be applied to the area being treated for 30-60 min prior to treatment.

Your eyes will be protected, and multiple passes will be made over the treatment area with the handpiece. You will feel mild warmth during the treatment, but most patients find the treatment extremely comfortable.

What to expect after treatment

Immediately after your treatment, you may experience redness and very mild swelling that may last for a few hours. Your skin will feel rough to the touch, like fine sandpaper for a few days. You may develop darkening/superficial crusting of brown spots for a few days after treatment.

These are called MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris). Within 5-7 days this layer of skin will slough off, leaving you with bright and glowing skin.

Clear & Brilliant® is a virtually painless treatment, however our skincare experts take necessary measures to ensure each patient is completely comfortable during the procedure. Fraxel® can get a bit more heated. We use a cooling cryogen mist, called a ZIMMER to decrease the heat sensation, as well as cold packs throughout the treatment.
Fraxel® is a powerful resurfacing treatment that has 2-4 days of downtime. The first day you will experience heat and redness, which improves significantly within 48 hours. Over the next few days, your skin will continue to heal and regenerate, revealing glowing and radiant skin. There is virtually no downtime after the Clear & Brilliant® procedure and you can resume your regular activities right after the treatment. Your skin will feel like sandpaper for a few days and will slough off, but you can resume your regular skincare routine and make up within 24 hours.
Fraxel® and Clear & Brilliant® are excellent and safe treatments that do not damage the skin in any way. Fraxel® and Clear & Brilliant® are gentle and safe for the darkest skin tones!
