What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is the original fractional laser treatment that works below the skin’s surface from the top down, addressing imperfections like fine lines, visible photo aging, wrinkles, scarring, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma.

Fraxel light energy stimulates your skin’s natural collagen, rejuvenating skin cells below the surface to help smooth the creases and pockets that cause wrinkles and scars. Fraxel treats targeted problem areas – so the results are focused and effective. The skin tone appears more even, and the texture of your skin will have a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Are Fraxel Treatments Painful?
Fraxel treatments are mildly to moderately uncomfortable. A topical or local anesthetic in addition to using a cold air blower simultaneously with the laser, can lessen the discomfort dramatically.

How Many Fraxel Treatments Are Required?
Each treatment plan is specific per patient, but most people see the best results with 3-5 treatments. Each treatment is typically scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart.

What Can I Expect After a Fraxel Treatment?
Patients will likely experience redness, swelling, and possible peeling post treatment. Redness can typically last 1-2 weeks and can be covered with makeup. Swelling is usually 1-3 days. Most Fraxel patients report the sensation of a “light sunburn” immediately after treatment. Patients usually drive to and from their own Fraxel appointments.
