How Fraxel treatment works

The technology behind Fraxel treatment is as revolutionary as the results it can deliver. Unlike other laser treatments, Fraxel treatment is able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin's surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. Fraxel treatment stimulates the body's own natural healing process which replaces damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.

Your personalized Fraxel treatment plan

Your skin type is unique - your genetic make-up, lifestyle and personal history all contribute to how your skin looks and feels. With Fraxel treatment, your physician can develop a treatment plan tailored to your skin's individual needs.

By design, Fraxel treatments are able to target between 5 and 50 percent of the skin's surface and leave the remaining 50 to 95 percent available to rapidly heal the areas that were treated. Because Fraxel treatment is so precise, it is safe and effective on delicate skin areas such as the neck, chest, hands and face. Patients who undergo this type of treatment can anticipate results on two levels: immediate and progressive. Immediately after the first stage of the healing process is finished, the surface of your skin will have a softer feel, a brighter appearance, and your skin tone will begin to even out. Progressive results begin to set in over the next three to six months as the deeper layers of your skin continue the healing process.
