What is Fraxel Rejuvenation?
Fraxel laser uses fractional technology which is a safe and gentle alternative to ablative laser resurfacing. Fraxel is very effective for resolving cosmetic problems which are normally difficult to treat including:

• Acne, chicken pox, and surgical scars

• Aging lax skin

• Sun damaged skin

• Enlarged pores

• Fine lines, especially around the mouth and eyes

Under the epidermis is a network of collagen and elastin fibers, which are proteins that keep your skin youthful and tight. But as you age and get more sun exposure, those proteins simply break down faster than your body can rebuild them. As a result, your skin may start to sag and show damage like wrinkles, lines or spots.

Rather than removing the entire outer layer of skin, like ablative laser resurfacing does, fractional resurfacing uses microscopic columns of ablation, targeting and destroying microscopic areas while leaving healthy cells surrounding the destroyed area intact. This allows for quick recovery and pain reduction. The healthy cells left behind help your body’s natural healing process. Collagen production is stimulated, the skin tightens and pigmentation is normalized resulting in tighter, fresher, more youthful-looking skin. This is how Fraxel treatment creates new skin from the inside out.

For a complete treatment, normally more than a single session is required. The treatments are usually spaced a few weeks apart. This is a productive yet gradual process of resurfacing the skin with minimal downtime and discomfort. Numbing cream and cooled air are used during the treatment to minimize discomfort. After a Fraxel treatment, the area treated tends to have some mild swelling and redness similar to a sun burn.

No matter your age, sex or skin color, Fraxel laser treatment can uncover your youthful skin buried within. Whether you're in your 30s and just starting to see wrinkles, in your 60s or older with deeper lines and loose skin or somewhere in between, Fraxel treatment is a great option for your unique skin. Since African-American, Latino and Asian skin types generally have more melanin (pigment) than Caucasian skin, they’ve traditionally been at a higher risk for discoloration and scarring with many conventional laser treatments. But unlike these other procedures, Fraxel treatment precisely targets water in the skin, not melanin, and therefore it is safer and effective for all skin colors. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands.

How long does a single Fraxel Rejuvenation treatment take?
The usual length of a single treatment ranges from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the area being treated.

What to expect after Fraxel Rejuvenation treatment?

Usually, 3-4 days of slight swelling and 1 day of redness followed by a minor skin peeling: if you need to return to work immediately these can be easily camouflaged by makeup.

How many Fraxel Rejuvenation treatments you'll need?

Since Fraxel laser is gentler than other types of cosmetic laser, the treatment needs to be repeated 4-6 times (usually few weeks apart) to achieve the best possible outcome.

Potential Risks of Fraxel Rejuvenation

When the treatment is performed by an experienced physician the risk of scarring or infection is extremely rare.

Benefits of Fraxel Rejuvenation

Fraxel laser isn’t new; it already has an established track record which proves that Fraxel is as effective as other cosmetic lasers used in skin resurfacing procedures but while consistently achieving desired results, it is safer than many other laser technologies on the market today and by far the gentlest. It presents an excellent option for patients afraid of pain and those who can’t afford to take weeks off from their busy lives to recuperate.

If your focus is on rejuvenation: the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin decreases with age causing skin to sag. That’s why eliminating signs of aging isn’t merely a matter of removing wrinkles but ensuring that the skin tissue beneath the skin’s surface is rich in collagen and elastin which give the face youthful fullness and prevent skin from sagging. Fraxel laser is uniquely suited for rejuvenation because by penetrating into deeper levels of skin tissue it stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin which re-texturize the skin from the inside out.
