Fraxel®

Whether you want to treat acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, Fraxel can give you smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Improve Your Skin’s Texture and Tone

At APDerm, our compassionate team of clinicians is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care. We are committed to using state-of-the-art technology, like Fraxel, which works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. By promoting collagen production and replacing damaged skin cells with fresh, healthy tissue, the treatment results in smoother texture, improved tone, and reduced signs of aging.

What Is Fraxel?

Fraxel is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Thanks to advancements in laser communication technology, Fraxel treatment utilizes 125 to 250 microscopic laser beams to penetrate the skin. These beams heat both the epidermis and dermis, enabling treatment at both superficial and deep levels. Despite delivering 1,000 to 2,000 pulses per square centimeter, the skin cells between the beams remain unaffected, promoting rapid healing. Typically requiring 3-6 sessions, Fraxel treatments effectively treat entire areas like the face, ensuring comprehensive and long-lasting results over time.

What to Expect From a Fraxel Treatment

A "smart scanning" handpiece delivers laser energy to the treatment area, ensuring consistent results. The treatment takes about 20 to 30 minutes for a full face. Most people find Fraxel laser treatment comfortable due to the topical anesthetic and cool air applied during the procedure. Patients often describe the sensation as a "prickling" feeling.

For those with sensitive skin who experience more discomfort, an oral sedative can be provided.

After completing the treatment sessions, the skin continues to heal over the following weeks and months, revealing brighter, more even-toned, and plumper skin.

Fraxel Aftercare

Following Fraxel treatment, it's normal to experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within a few days. Your skin may also feel dry and flaky as it heals, and you may notice some bronzing or peeling. It's essential to protect your skin from sun exposure and follow your dermatologist's post-care instructions to optimize results and minimize any potential side effects.

How Do I Know if Fraxel Is Right for Me?

Fraxel is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of the following:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Sun damage and age spots
Uneven skin tone and texture
Melasma and other pigmentation issues

Ideal candidates for Fraxel are in good overall health. Your dermatologist will assess your skin type and concerns during a consultation to determine if Fraxel is the right choice for you.
