ABOUT FRAXEL LASER
Fraxel Laser is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment, known for its efficiency in improving the skin’s texture, tone, and appearance. It is a highly effective treatment used for conditions such as fine lines, sun damage, pigmentation, and particularly textured acne scars, restoring healthy skin without prolonged downtime.
Fraxel Laser uses fractional technology to target a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, which promotes rapid healing. The laser penetrates the skin’s surface, creating tiny microthermal zones deep into the skin, stimulating the body’s healing process and promoting collagen production.
The healing process involves eliminating damaged cells and the generation of new collagen, leading to the resurfacing of fresh skin. As a result, it effectively improves skin elasticity, erases imperfections and patches, and rejuvenates the skin for a more youthful appearance.
There are three primary types of Fraxel Laser treatments – Fraxel Repair, Fraxel Dual, and Fraxel Restore.
Fraxel Repair is an ablative laser treatment used to treat severe skin damage, including deep wrinkles and sun damage. Fraxel Restore is a non-ablative laser used for treating conditions like acne scarring, fine lines, and sun damage, with little to no downtime. Fraxel Dual, the most versatile, combines two lasers to treat superficial and deeper skin concerns.
Fraxel Laser treatments offer various benefits. They can efficiently improve sagging skin on the neck, face, body, and hands. They are highly efficient treatments for acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin pigmentation, offering a solution to skin imperfections without the need for injections or surgery.
Fraxel Laser also stands out for effectively treating all phototypes (Fitzpatrick 1-6). This means all skin categories can benefit from this treatment, no matter their sensitivity to sun exposure.
While Fraxel Laser is generally safe, like all treatments, it carries potential risks. These may include temporary redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation. However, these risks are minimised with our skilled practitioners and the highest quality Fraxel Lasers.
The benefits of Fraxel Laser on your skin can last up to five years. However, the duration may vary based on skin conditions, lifestyle, and skincare routine.
The best type of Fraxel Laser for you depends on your skin type, skin condition, and desired outcome. During your obligation-free consultation, our expert practitioners will evaluate your skin and discuss the best Fraxel Laser option.
We offer Skinflash fractional laser treatments either as a program of five sessions spaced out over a month for deeper treatments or as a single session for a lighter effect that gives a healthy glow.
YOUR FRAXEL LASER TREATMENT JOURNEY
We will conduct a detailed diagnostic examination of the skin and the areas to be treated during the consultation. This process helps us better understand your skin's needs and devise an appropriate Fraxel Laser treatment plan for you.
At our topmost priority is your comfort. That's why we apply a topical numbing cream before your treatment, minimizing discomfort during the procedure.
A session of skin treatment using the Fraxel Laser lasts about ten minutes. The targeted skin area is subjected to multiple passes of the laser during the procedure to ensure comprehensive coverage and optimal results.
Post-treatment, your skin may experience a sunburn sensation, and you can expect redness for three to four days. A thick soothing and healing cream layer is applied after the treatment. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure or use sun protection with an SPF of 50 in the months following the procedure.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How many Fraxel treatments will I need to see improvement in my acne scars?
The number of Fraxel treatments you’ll need can vary depending on the severity of your acne scarring and your specific skin type. Most patients typically require between three to five treatments for optimal results. However, many notice a significant improvement in their acne scars even after just one treatment.
How does Fraxel treatment help with textured acne scars?
Fraxel treatment effectively targets textured acne scars by promoting the skin’s healing process. This is accomplished by creating small microthermal zones within the skin, stimulating the gradual removal of damaged cells and the production of fresh collagen. The outcome? A smoother, healthier skin surface and a major diminution in the appearance of those textured acne scars.
What type of topical treatment is used during a Fraxel Laser treatment?
Before commencing the Fraxel Laser treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure patient comfort. Post-treatment, a thick layer of a soothing and healing cream is applied to aid the recovery process.
Is Fraxel treatment beneficial for damaged skin?
Absolutely. Fraxel treatment is particularly effective in treating damaged skin. It works by targeting only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, leading to the removal of damaged cells and the promotion of healthy skin cells. This makes Fraxel a highly effective treatment for damaged skin.
Can Fraxel Laser treatments be used for surgical scars?
Fraxel Laser treatments can indeed be effective for surgical scars. The laser works by encouraging collagen production and promoting rapid healing, improving scar tissue, including surgical scars.
How does the Fraxel treatment improve skin pigmentation and sun damage?
Fraxel Laser treatments are highly effective in treating skin pigmentation and sun damage. The laser energy penetrates the skin’s surface to reach the deeper layers, effectively targeting and reducing unwanted pigmentation. Moreover, it promotes the production of new skin cells, resulting in an improved skin tone and the reduction of sun damage.
What are the differences between Fraxel Repair, Fraxel Restore, and Fraxel Dual?
Fraxel Repair, Restore, and Dual are three different types of Fraxel Laser treatments designed to address various skin conditions. Fraxel Repair is an ablative laser used for severe skin damage. In contrast, Fraxel Restore is a non-ablative laser used for less severe skin conditions like acne scarring, fine lines, and sun damage. Fraxel Dual, on the other hand, combines both lasers’ benefits to treat both superficial and deeper layers of skin concerns effectively.
How does Fraxel treatment impact the skin's texture?
Fraxel treatment is known for its ability to improve the skin’s texture significantly. By encouraging new collagen production and promoting rapid healing, Fraxel treatment helps in resurfacing a fresh skin layer, leading to an improved skin texture and a more youthful appearance.
Can Fraxel treatment be used on darker skin types?
Yes, Fraxel treatment can be safely used on all skin types, including darker skin types. The procedure is customized to each patient’s skin type and skin condition during the initial consultation, ensuring the best possible results for each individual.
What happens in the recovery period after Fraxel treatment?
Post Fraxel treatment, your skin may experience a sunburn sensation, and you can expect redness for three to four days. A thick soothing and healing cream layer is applied after the treatment. It’s also advised to avoid sun exposure or use sun protection with an SPF of 50 in the months following the procedure.
