Reverse Sun Damage With Fraxel Laser Treatments
The sun’s harsh UV rays can cause significant damage to your skin over time. Without SPF protection, the skin is susceptible to age spots, lost elasticity, wrinkles, dryness, and more. Sun damage often causes premature signs of skin aging, diminishing the previously youthful appearance of the skin.
If you’re experiencing sun damage to the skin, Fraxel laser treatments can help. This non-invasive laser therapy option helps repair sun-damaged skin for a healthier, rejuvenated look.
How Fraxel Works for Sun Damage
Fraxel works by using light energy to repair multiple types of skin damage. Since Fraxel can be adjusted and customized based on your needs, you’ll receive the optimal treatment for your cosmetic concerns.
When targeted at the damaged skin, the Fraxel laser forms tiny microthermal zones, like pixels, in the deep layers of the skin. This allows for excellent precision in the administration of the laser so that only the damaged skin is affected. In each microthermal zone, the Fraxel laser prompts the natural repair process of the skin. The body will accordingly increase its production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells. As the new skin cells replace the old, damaged skin cells, you’ll notice brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Results from Fraxel Treatment
In one to three weeks after Fraxel treatment, you’ll start to see improvement in your skin. The sun damage will start to disappear, leaving behind a more luminous complexion. For the maximum results, patients may opt to undergo up to five treatments over the course of a few months.
Fraxel laser treatment is a non-invasive option for sun-damaged skin. Since it takes just 15 to 45 minutes to complete this treatment, it’s a convenient choice in comparison to cosmetic surgery. Additionally, Fraxel requires minimal downtime. Patients often experience redness and some discomfort that go away three to five days after treatment.
