What You Need To Know About Fraxel® Laser Therapy

If you’re seeking a solution to wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, and other common skin concerns, Fraxel® laser therapy could be the treatment that you’re looking for. This advanced laser treatment targets areas of concern in the skin, prompting the skin’s natural repair process. After Fraxel® laser therapy, you’ll enjoy a more radiant appearance with a smoother, more youthful complexion. 

How Does Fraxel® Laser Therapy Work?

Fraxel® laser therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment to improve the appearance of the skin. It works by developing very small microthermal zones deep within the skin. These zones can be compared to pixels on a TV screen. The laser precisely targets the “pixels” of damaged skin, stimulating the skin’s repair process so that new, healthy skin cells will replace the skin damage.  

Fraxel® laser therapy also triggers the development of additional collagen in the skin. Since collagen provides strength and structure to the skin, this helps repair the damaged skin for a healthier complexion. As your skin produces more collagen after Fraxel® laser therapy, you’ll notice that it gradually becomes plumper, smoother, and more hydrated. 

What To Expect from Fraxel® Laser Therapy

Since Fraxel® laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment, it’s faster to complete and allows for a far less extensive recovery period than surgical cosmetic treatments. A Fraxel® session takes just 15 to 45 minutes to complete, and the treatment will be tailored to your individual needs.

The full results of Fraxel® laser therapy will appear between one and three weeks after treatment. Depending on the extent of the skin damage, patients may need up to five treatment sessions over the course of a few months. The experienced team at Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Center will personalize your Fraxel® treatment plan for the best possible results.
