What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment. It uses controlled energy to target the affected facial area with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin. The CO2 laser is a deeper ablative procedure that removes outer layers of the skin during the process.
Since the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact to aid in healing. The process promotes collagen growth and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace old, damaged ones.
Fraxel treats wrinkles, age spots, sun spots, melasma, actinic keratosis, and acne scars, while improving tone, texture and radiance. It is for people who want to look younger without dramatic changes or extended downtime.
What to Expect From Fraxel CO2 Laser Treatment
It’s important to choose a laser resurfacing provider, like Advanced Dermatology, with the experience, training and qualifications to successfully perform the procedure.
Fraxel is performed on an outpatient basis. A topical anesthetic ointment will be applied to the treatment area. The time of the procedure depends on the size and condition of the area treated. Afterward, the treated area may feel like you have a bad sunburn. Healing will take place in roughly 7-10 days, with full healing up to three months. Sun exposure must be avoided initially.
