What Is Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing?
Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing is a fractional laser treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells. It helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven texture while improving overall skin tone and radiance.
When Is Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing Recommended?
This treatment is typically recommended for:
- Visible fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead
- Uneven texture caused by acne scarring or enlarged pores
- Sun damage, age spots, or pigmentation concerns
- Rough, dull, or aging skin needing rejuvenation
- Those seeking a non-surgical treatment with long-lasting improvements
How Is Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing Performed?
A topical numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort. The Fraxel® device then delivers fractional laser energy into the skin, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones while preserving surrounding tissue. This triggers the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen renewal and the replacement of damaged skin with smoother, healthier layers.
What to Expect During Recovery After Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing?
Recovery varies based on treatment depth. Mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation is common for a few days. The skin may bronze, flake, or peel as new skin forms. Most people resume daily activities within 2–4 days. Sun protection is essential to protect healing skin and maintain results.
