Fraxel laser treatment utilizes fractional lasers to minimize sun damage, scarring and pigmentation issues while tightening skin over time. Recovery period from this procedure usually ranges from three to six days.
Before treatment begins, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the face in order to make the process pain-free, although some patients may still feel discomfort from this procedure.
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Fraxel laser resurfacing rejuvenates skin to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and improve texture and tone on both your face and body. It can help prevent precancerous lesions as well as sunspots while remaining safe for most ages and skin colors – especially those in their 20s- 50s if performed by trained professionals; combined with other skin treatments it may even produce greater results!
Fraxel laser treatments require much less downtime and scarring than other laser procedures, making it an excellent way to treat brown spots or pigmentation issues such as melasma quickly without leaving scars behind. Fraxel is also more cost-effective and safe than other options which may have less than desirable side effects like other laser procedures that alter large areas at one time – an alternative worth exploring as alternative solutions exist that could cost much more or have adverse side effects such as excessive downtime or increased risks associated with other laser procedures.
Laser treatments work by targeting specific skin cells and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Targeted cells may either be vaporised by ablation laser, or heated enough to promote new healthy skin cell production and replace old damaged ones with fresh, young looking tissue – leaving behind only healthy tissue to repair itself, giving a fresher more youthful look in return.
Fraxel laser treatments work on two layers of your skin: epidermis and dermis. It targets cells responsible for controlling pigmentation as well as those producing collagen and elastin production, helping reduce lines and wrinkles while simultaneously improving texture, dark spots, and acne scarring.
Fraxel laser treatments involve cleansing and numbing your face with topical anesthetic before beginning. Once treatment has taken place, which typically lasts about 30 minutes, after-care instructions from your physician will include wearing protective cream to avoid sun exposure – something which must be done as your skin will likely remain red and swollen for several days afterward.
Reduces acne scars
Fraxel laser treatment works to significantly decrease acne scarring by stimulating skin regeneration. It also improves sunspots, wrinkles and uneven skin tone without surgery or injections – using fractional laser technology instead of chemical peels which may have severe side effects. Fraxel treatment offers safe and non-invasive ways of addressing skin conditions without surgery or injections – with zero downtime afterwards!
Fraxel laser treatment can target deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production for tightening of loose skin and reduced fine lines. Furthermore, this laser can treat pigmentation issues like Melasma effectively – particularly useful for olive or darker skin tones as it treats both deep and superficial pigmentation at once!
Fraxel laser treatments are less painful than previous laser procedures, although stinging or burning sensations may still occur after treatment. To minimize discomfort after therapy and protect the skin after Fraxel treatment, avoid direct sunlight afterward while wearing quality sunscreen products and using exfoliating creams, scrubs or any other topical agents that could irritate it such as exfoliating creams.
Laser treatments should always be administered by a licensed dermatologist who can ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, usually taking about an hour in total. After completion, it’s recommended to rest for several days while your skin recovers using ice packs and using soothing moisturisers such as Victorian Cosmetic Institute Dr Soothing Balm for application; smoking, excessive alcohol consumption or strenuous exercise should also be avoided during this timeframe.
Reduces pigmentation
Fraxel lasers offer a non-invasive way of treating sun damage, fine lines, large pores and uneven skin texture. In addition, Fraxel treatments help diminish pigmentation caused by acne scarring while reducing their appearance. It’s important to use sunscreen after each session as well as follow pre and post treatment guidelines in order to avoid hyper-pigmentation in treated areas due to exercise, extreme heat or sunlight.
Fraxel laser technology uses both ablative and non-ablative processes to effectively reduce age spots, freckles, and other common skin conditions. It works by targeting laser energy directly onto damaged tissue in order to stimulate new collagen and elastin production and produce smooth skin cells that eliminate fine lines and wrinkles – this procedure also provides effective treatments for Melasma, which typically appears during pregnancy or taking birth control pills.
While topical creams and chemical peels may help improve the appearance of brown spots, Fraxel laser treatment is by far the most effective. This laser effectively “peels” away affected skin layers until healthy ones have formed underneath. To optimize results it is advisable to limit sun exposure while using an effective moisturiser containing vitamin C, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid as these will all assist.
At Brisbane Skin, our Fraxel Dual laser is one of the best methods for treating pigmentation and freckles. It is capable of reaching both deep and superficial layers of skin simultaneously while targeting specific conditions like Melasma with pinpoint accuracy – especially since its 1927 wavelength works especially well to treat this form of pigmentation which tends to occur more commonly on olive or darker complexions.
Reduces large pores
Fraxel lasers are noninvasive, safe and effective treatments for many different skin conditions. They can dramatically decrease fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation while stimulating collagen growth to firm and tighten skin.
Fraxel treatments take approximately an hour. Your dermatologist will first cleanse and apply topical anesthetic before beginning. A nurse then moves a laser wand over your face in two to three passes for each area treated – so as not to damage healthy tissues while speeding healing.
During and following this procedure, you may experience mild stinging and burning sensations on your skin. After the procedure has concluded, make sure your face remains shielded from direct sunlight by following specific care instructions for best results.
Fraxel laser works by heating skin with an invisible light beam, which then absorbs energy through water molecules in skin cells to heat damaged ones and cause them to vapourise or heat up, stimulating their natural replacement process with healthy ones – producing a refreshing, rejuvenated complexion in its wake.
Fraxel laser treatment differs from other lasers in that it stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer skin that may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, unlike CO2 lasers which caused significant skin damage during their predecessor treatments, Fraxel uses smaller bursts of light known as packets to target only part of your skin – this makes Fraxel less invasive while still treating upper layers of your skin surface area – hence its non-ablative status.
Reduces skin texture
Fraxel laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive solution to uneven skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and brown spots on the face. The laser works to stimulate new collagen growth while eliminating damaged cells – results may not appear immediately but over time they will become increasingly evident. Fraxel treatment is safe and suitable for nearly all skin types although may work better on olive or darker complexions.
Fraxel emits powerful bursts of light energy that penetrate deep layers of skin, damaging cells that have become compromised due to age or sun damage and prompting faster healing, leading to greater collagen and elastin production. Furthermore, pigmentation removal also occurs, creating healthier looking and radiant complexion.
Fraxel offers various models, each designed for specific uses and purposes. The most widely-used device, Fraxel Refine, serves as an upkeep treatment that’s less aggressive than Fraxel Repair while still yielding noticeable results after up to six treatments. Other devices, like Fraxel Restore and Dual use different wavelengths to target specific conditions.
Before beginning Fraxel treatment, it is crucial that you refrain from using products containing retinoids for one week beforehand. Furthermore, avoid exfoliation and scrubbing as this could worsen recovery. Apply a soothing moisturizer during recovery while protecting yourself from sun exposure – heat sensation may vary between individuals but is typically well tolerated by them all.
