What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a line of laser treatments that help to restore and improve skin. This skincare method uses very small laser beams to lightly damage the skin on a cellular level. It zaps away problems without harming the surrounding skin. Ultimately, this encourages your body to grow newer, healthier skin cells. There are a few different types of Fraxel lasers, including:
- Fraxel Restore: A very gentle erbium laser that doesn’t remove the outer layer of skin
- Fraxel Restore Dual: A slightly stronger laser that uses two different types of laser light for more impressive results
- Fraxel Repair: A more aggressive CO2 laser that can tackle deeper wrinkles and scars
Who can benefit from Fraxel Laser skin resurfacing treatment?
Fraxel lasers are a good choice for anyone who is unhappy about skin damage. Frequently, these lasers treat scars or wrinkles. They can help stimulate collagen and create smoother, more even skin. Fraxel laser treatments can also address uneven skin tone. They can erase hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and freckles. Overall, they’re a useful option if you want youthful, healthy-looking skin.

What is the process?
When you go to your doctor for Fraxel laser care, you’ll start by getting a numbing cream. Once you’re comfortable, they will move a device over your face that sends laser beams over your skin. You might feel light stinging or prickling sensations. Next, you’ll wait a few weeks for your skin to heal. Your doctor will repeat the process until you’re happy with the results.
How effective are the results?
Fraxel laser treatment can provide noticeable changes. It has very impressive rates of patient satisfaction for photodamage and uneven skin tones. Additionally, 75% of people who try it for scarring report major improvements. The treatment also has similar rates of effectiveness for fine lines and wrinkles.
What are the side effects?
Side effects vary from patient to patient, but they’re usually mild. Immediately after treatment, you might have swelling, itching, and redness. Some people also report acne or infection afterward. In very rare cases, scarring or hyperpigmentation can happen.
