What is Fraxel Laser?

Fraxel® features fractionated laser technology that works by creating microchannels within the skin, leaving surrounding healthy skin and tissues undamaged. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in increased collagen production, the eventual resurfacing of damaged skin and reduction in the visible signs of aging.

Fraxel can be used to treat:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bow lines
  • Age spots & other pigmentation realities
  • Sun damage
  • Actinic keratosis
  • Enlarged pores
  • Surgical scarring 

While some skin rejuvenation treatments only provide temporary improvement, Fraxel® creates gradual, subtle enhancement that is long-lasting and easy to maintain with a good skincare regimen and maintenance treatments.

Treatment Procedure

The entire Fraxel laser treatment takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. First, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area. It takes about 1 hour for the numbing cream to take full effect. Next, the Fraxel laser treatment will take place for about 30 minutes.

We recommend 3 to 5 treatments for optimal results. Further, we encourage maintenance treatments as necessary. The full results will be in effect 1 month following the final treatment.
