Fraxel is a cosmetic dermatology treatment that employs laser technology. The procedure is a popular choice for women and men that would like to get more youthful looking skin. Fraxel may also be employed to repair skin damage caused by sun, acne or surgeries. There are several types of fraxel treatments, each applied according to the condition of the patient’s skin.
Conditions Fraxel Repair Treats
Fraxel repair is a more aggressive treatment and is recommended if the skin is badly damaged or wrinkled and needs extensive repair.
Fraxel will show dramatic results in conditions such as:
- Deep wrinkles
- Furrows
- Skin texture problems
- Age or sun spots
- Redness caused by sun
- Fine lines
Fraxel repair requires one session and has a longer recovery time; the surgery will also require post treatment.
Conditions Fraxel Restore and Refine Treats
Fraxel restore and refine is a procedure that is less aggressive and will be effective in treating the following skin conditions:
- Fine wrinkles
- Spots on the skin caused by aging or sun
- Uneven pigmentation
- Discoloration
- Melasmas caused by pregnancy
- Acne or scars caused by acne and black spots
- Scars caused by surgeries
Fraxel restore is a treatment that requires 3 to 6 appointments.
A treatment can last between 20 to 25 minutes for the entire face. The treatment may be applied on the entire face or applied only on certain areas. The Fraxel treatments are FDA approved and may visibly change the skin’s appearance.
