A healthy, radiant complexion is what all women want. Hundreds of skin care products promise the moon, but they can’t get rid of creases and folds on your skin. Fraxel laser skin resurfacing treatment can improve your skin by improving your overall skin texture and visible signs of aging.
How Fraxel Laser Treatment Works
Fraxel is a non-ablative fractional laser, which sets it apart from most other laser treatments. Non-ablative laser treatments have little downtime, especially compared with ablative options, because they target the dermis beneath the epidermis. This allows controlled energy to reach the treatment area without damaging the surrounding tissue, helping preserve the skin’s natural barrier.
Fraxel addresses visible concerns by supporting collagen production, which plays a critical role in skin strength and elasticity. By treating the deeper layers affected by sun damage, Fraxel encourages renewal at the cellular level, helping damaged skin cells gradually regenerate. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure before and after treatment to protect results and reduce sensitivity.
The Fraxel re:store DUAL at K Plastic Surgery
At K Plastic Surgery, we use the Fraxel re:store DUAL laser, commonly referred to as fraxel dual. This technology uses two wavelengths to address multiple concerns at once. One wavelength focuses on surface irregularities that affect skin tone, while the second penetrates deeper layers to target acne scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles.
By heating targeted areas of the skin, the laser stimulates collagen production and promotes remodeling over time. This process also stimulates collagen growth, leading to smoother contours and improved skin texture without disrupting daily routines for most patients.
What Fraxel Treatment Addresses
The Fraxel re:store DUAL Laser treatment has been approved by the FDA for reducing or eliminating several common skin concerns, including uneven pigmentation and skin discoloration, making it a versatile option within both cosmetic surgery and dermatologic surgery practices. Fraxel can improve:
- Acne scarring
- Periobital wrinkles (around the eyes)
- Surgical scarring
- Melasma
- Age spots
- Sun spots
The procedure takes around 30 minute, with a series of two to three treatments spaced out every six months recommended.
