About Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fraxel is a cutting-edge non-ablative laser treatment that uses fractional laser resurfacing technology to treat a wide range of skin concerns — all without surgery or extended recovery. It works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, stimulating collagen production and accelerating natural skin repair.
Common skin issues addressed by Fraxel laser treatment include:
Wrinkles and fine lines (especially around the eyes and mouth)
Age spots and sun damage
Acne scars and surgical scars
Pigmentation concerns like melasma
Rough skin texture and dullness
Because the Fraxel laser is so precise, it can target damaged tissue without harming the surrounding skin. That means patients experience faster healing and less downtime compared to traditional laser procedures. It’s an ideal solution for anyone looking to achieve a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.

WHERE can Fraxel be used?
Fraxel laser treatment is an incredibly versatile solution for skin rejuvenation and can be used across multiple areas of the body. Thanks to its fractional laser resurfacing technology, Fraxel is precise enough to treat delicate areas while still delivering powerful results.
Fraxel laser can be used to treat:
Face
The most popular treatment area for Fraxel laser. It helps smooth fine lines, fade sun spots, minimize enlarged pores, and even reduce the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars. Many patients choose fraxel for scar removal to improve skin clarity and overall tone.Neck
A common area that reveals early signs of aging, the neck benefits from Fraxel by improving skin laxity, fading age spots, and reducing vertical lines and creases.Chest (Décolleté)
Years of sun exposure can leave the chest looking worn and discolored. Fraxel treatment can restore a smoother texture and a more even tone to this delicate area.Hands
Hands often show age just as much as the face. Fraxel laser resurfacing helps diminish sun damage, liver spots, and rough skin, giving hands a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Fraxel Re:Pair vs Fraxel Re:Store
There are two types of Fraxel technologies. One is non-ablative and the other is ablative.
What is Ablative Fraxel?
Ablative describes the surgical removal of tissue. Therefore, an ablative laser is one that removes the skin (and leaves open wounds). Fraxel Re:Pair is an ablative laser. Generally speaking, ablative lasers are used for complexion irregularities that require a more dramatic improvement. Due to its invasiveness, the recovery period may be lengthier.
What is Non-Ablative Fraxel?
A non-ablative laser is one that does not remove tissue. It works by producing a wound healing response at the deeper layers of your skin, without breaking the skin itself. This stimulates collagen growth. Fraxel Re:Store is a non-ablative laser.

How Does Fraxel Laser work?
The success behind Fraxel technology is the way in which the device works. The skin in a treated area is exposed to laser energy, but unlike other laser-based skin resurfacing treatments, Fraxel delivers this energy as microscopic columns which penetrate deeply into the dermis and leave some tissue unaffected. As a result, only a fraction of skin tissue is exposed at any given time, and that is why healing and the recovery process are faster – because only the affected tissue needs to recover from treatment.
Fractional laser therapy is offered at many aesthetic medical practices under the trade name Fraxel. Fraxel leverages powerful and highly advanced technology that treats damaged or irregular skin through sophisticated lasers. This laser system (used in a procedure called fractional photo thermolysis) is able to penetrate deep into injured skin, replacing problem areas with new, healthy cells.
The end result of a Fraxel treatment is total repair that is usually referred to as skin resurfacing. The Fractional photo thermolysis system sees thousands of extremely fine laser columns being aimed at a treatment area. These columns (each one is only the size of 1/10th of a hair follicle’s diameter) are targeted, with incredible precision, toward where they are needed most.
Fraxel eliminates the damaged tissue responsible for skin problems and promotes natural growth processes in its place. Once the skin is able to function properly again patients experience a normalized and healthier-looking appearance.

On average, Fraxel results last at least a year, but this varies by patient. While Fraxel can improve severe acne or surgical scars, regular follow-ups may be needed every few years depending on the condition’s severity.
Fraxel is mostly painless, with only a mild prickling sensation. A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. Fraxel manages to achieve great results without being ablative, so it avoids persistent burning, hot spots, or ‘crispy’ skin, while still delivering great results.
A topical lidocaine cream is applied for an hour to numb the area. Our technicians then use a wand to precisely control the laser’s strength and depth, with sensations ranging from mild prickling to warmth. Your nurse technician will send you a set of post-care instructions to follow when you get home for optimal results.
Expect redness, throbbing, and swelling for the first two days, followed by rough, peeling skin from days three to five. It is recommended to wait 2-3 weeks between treatments. Results depend on the number of treatments in the series.
The Fraxel DUAL procedure itself takes about 15 to 25 minutes, but you should allow an additional 45 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect before getting started.
For the first week after a Fraxel treatment, use only non-irritating, non-clogging skin care products. If your skin feels tight or itchy, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer as needed. Your nurse technician will send you a set of post-care instructions to follow when you get home for optimal results.
