Fraxel Skin Resurfacing

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing

Fraxel laser treatment targets aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodeling of collagen. Since the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes very rapid healing.

Qualifications:

1. Consultation: Schedule with a qualified professional for an assessment of your skin condition and determine Fraxel's suitability.
2. Skin Type Assessment: Customize treatment settings based on your skin type to effectively address specific concerns.
3. Realistic Expectations: Understand expected outcomes, potential side effects, and downtime for realistic expectations.

1. Skincare Routine Adjustment: Follow a prescribed routine to prepare your skin for Fraxel Skin Resurfacing.
2. Sun Protection: Use high SPF sunscreen in the weeks leading to treatment.
3. Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids and exfoliating products as advised by your provider.

2. Fraxel Laser Application: Apply fractional laser to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and triggering the body's natural healing process.

Post-Procedure Care:

1. Downtime: Expect redness, swelling, and peeling based on treatment intensity. Follow recovery recommendations.
