The Fraxel laser treatment uses patented fractional laser technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old and damaged cells with fresh, glowing, healthy-looking skin.
Depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated, the Fraxel laser treatment can take as little as 20 minutes. However, we ask that you reserve at least 2 hours for your appointment.
The number of treatments you will need depends on your goals and desired outcomes as well as your lifestyle. We will work with you to weigh the aggressiveness of treatment with the downtime associated. Typically, patients receive their desired outcomes in 3-6 treatments.
Your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show more even skin tone. Other benefits of treatment may include:
– Smoother, fresher, younger looking skin
– Improved tone and texture
– Erasing of unwanted brown spots
– Reduced fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
The results of treatment are both immediate and progressive. Soon after the treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show more even tone. The next few months will bring more improvement as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal. Results can last for years depending on your age and skin condition.
