Fraxel is a skin resurfacing procedure used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, scars and other skin imperfections. The Fraxel laser treatment results in a renewal of the skin without surgery, anesthesia, pain or side effects that may be difficult to manage. Fraxel is the ideal choice for the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, melasma, unwanted wrinkles, skin texture, crow's feet, brown spots and much more.
Fraxel stimulates collagen production inflating and smoothing the treated areas. Fraxel utilizes laser energy to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin without affecting the skin that surrounds the treated area. Complete healing takes about 4 to 7 days.
Following the Fraxel procedure clients must take some precautions regarding the level of exposure to sunlight and should not go outside without a good sunscreen with high SPF and zinc content. The results of the Fraxel procedure will be apparent after one month with maximum results after 6 months. The Fraxel treatment duration is 2 to 5 years depending on the client’s skin maintenance regime.
