About Fraxel Medium Area
If you’re thinking about getting a Fraxel treatment, there are some important things to know before you decide. You will need to stop using all sensitive skin care products at least a week before your procedure. You should only wear sunscreen and protective clothing while outside for the first three months after the procedure.
Frequently asked questions
What Should I Expect Immediately After Treatment And The Days Following Treatment?
Post treatment, erythema or redness is normal along with some slight swelling on the skin. The skin may feel very warm for a few hours post treatment. A cold compress may be applied to the skin to soothe the area immediately after treatment. Over the next few days you may notice a bronzing on the skin which is the coagulated areas surfacing. Flaking or granular peeling is common post treatment.
Can I Have Fraxel If I Have Dark Skin?
Fraxel is one of the only lasers for acne/collagen remodelling which is FDA authorized for all skin types. Since Fraxel is a fractional technology meaning we do not treat the entire surface of the skin, there is less trauma on the skin and your body is able to repair the area safely and quickly. We may recommend pre-treating the skin with a HQ which would ensure the safest and most aggressive treatment possible.
When Will I Start Noticing Results?
Your skin will benefit from every Fraxel treatment. Different degrees of improvement are typically visible after every treatment. Since the treatment deals with collagen building and re-modelling, it does take time to see the full benefit of a single treatment. This time varies anywhere from 2 to 4 months.
