About Fraxel Full Face
Fraxel is a type of laser treatment that removes unwanted facial skin. A retreatment takes approximately 15 to 25 minutes, but it can take up to 45 minutes to get full results. The treatment involves mild stinging and numbing before the laser starts working. It may also cause some burning or tingling.
Frequently asked questions
How Many Fraxel Treatments Are Required?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the severity of the condition. Those with severe scarring or deep wrinkles may require 3 to 6 treatments or more. Treatment intervals are 6-8 weeks apart.
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.
