What is Fraxel laser treatment?
Fraxel laser treatment is a non-invasive, fractional skin resurfacing procedure that uses laser technology to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It works by creating microscopic columns of thermal energy in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
How does Fraxel work?
Fraxel laser works by using fractional laser technology to create microscopic columns of thermal energy in the skin. These tiny, controlled injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
First laser Energy Penetrates the Skin
Then the Fraxel laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
This controlled damage triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin, which improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
The damaged Skin is replaced. Over time, the treated areas shed, revealing smoother, more youthful skin underneath.
The Fraxel treats fine lines & wrinkles, sun damage & pigmentation (age spots, sunspots), acne scars & surgical scars, uneven skin texture, large pores and stretch marks.
We use a Fraxel Dual (1550/1927 nm)
What does a Fraxel laser do?
The FDA has approved the use of Fraxel laser to treat some of these skin conditions:
- Acne scars, particularly atrophic scars like ice pick and boxcar scars.
- Surgical scars, injury scars, and post-op scars.
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Freckles, sun spots, and age spots
- Uneven discoloration and pigmentation
- Tiny lines around the eyes are called periocular lines.
- Actinic Keratosis
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Skin tone and texture
What is laser resurfacing?
In the past, ablative laser technology was the mainstay of laser skin resurfacing. Recovery from ablative laser treatments is time-consuming and uncomfortable. Thanks to the new Fraxel laser treatment, patients can experience the skin-rejuvenating benefits of laser resurfacing without discomfort or prolonged downtime. Using tiny columns that penetrate deeply into the skin and treat only a portion of the skin at a time, the Fraxel uses non-ablative laser technology, sparing the surrounding tissue from damage. The fractional laser technology encourages a healing process that is quicker and more efficient. The FDA first approved the Fraxel laser as a fractionated laser for non-ablative laser skin resurfacing. The results of the Fraxel laser treatment are visible rejuvenation and the formation of new skin featuring healthier skin cells. The Fraxel laser therapy improves the skin's surface and encourages the creation of new elastin and collagen, restoring your skin's natural beauty. Skin that appears younger and more radiant results from this collagen stimulation.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
Fraxel laser treatment is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin. This non-invasive technique utilizes fractional laser technology to target specific areas, providing a range of advantages.
Here are some key benefits of Fraxel laser treatment:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Fraxel laser treatment stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. This process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and creates a youthful appearance.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The fractional laser targets fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen remodeling. This results in smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of age-related lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

Choosing the Right Fraxel Laser
What are the different types of fractional lasers?
Fraxel Re:store: This is a non-ablative fractional laser that targets pigmentation, fine lines, and skin texture. It has minimal downtime and is suitable for mild skin concerns.
Fraxel Re:pair: This is an ablative fractional laser that penetrates deeper into the skin, making it effective for more severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles, scarring, and sun damage. It typically involves more downtime but provides more dramatic results.
Fraxel Dual: A newer version that combines both the non-ablative and ablative technology. It targets both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, making it versatile for a range of issues like wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne scars. This is the laser that is available in the dermatology office of Dr. Debra Jaliman.
What is the difference between CO2 fractional laser and Fraxel—and which is right for me?
The choice between CO2 and Fraxel lasers depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.
The CO2 Laser is best for deeper skin resurfacing, severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, and scars. It is an ablative treatment that removes layers of skin for a more dramatic result. Best for more significant skin imperfections but may require more downtime. It is usually 2 weeks.
The Fraxel Laser is best for more moderate concerns like fine lines, early signs of aging, pigmentation, and acne scars. It works as a fractional treatment that targets smaller areas of the skin, promoting healing and collagen production without the need for extensive downtime usually 3-5 days.
If you’re looking for a more aggressive treatment with faster, more dramatic results, the CO2 laser may be better but it has some unfavorable side effects like hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. For people with darker skin tones, such as Asian and olive skin tones. This laser is not advised CA board-certified dermatologist such as Dr. Debra Jaliman for a consultation to determine which resurfacing laser is best for you.If you want less downtime and are dealing with milder skin concerns, Fraxel might be the right option. It’s best to consult with a provider to determine which laser is most suitable for your skin type and goals.
How do I choose the right Fraxel specialist?
Choosing the right Fraxel specialist is important to ensure the treatment is both safe and effective. Here are a few key factors to consider:
Ensure the specialist is a board-certified dermatologist with specific training and experience in performing Fraxel treatments.
Look for a provider who has extensive experience with Fraxel lasers and a track record of positive results. A specialist who performs Fraxel regularly is likely to have the expertise to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
Make sure the provider uses the latest, FDA-approved Fraxel equipment to ensure safety and optimal results. Ask to see before-and-after photos of patients who have received Fraxel treatments for similar concerns. This can give you an idea of the specialist’s skill and the potential results you can expect. A good Fraxel specialist will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and customize the treatment plan accordingly. They should also take the time to address your questions and concerns.
Am I a good candidate for Fraxel laser?
Fraxel laser treatment is effective for a variety of skin concerns, but not everyone is a perfect candidate. The best candidates for Fraxel typically have:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin color
- Brown spots
- Surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Actinic keratoses
- Sun damage
- Skin texture
- Skin rejuvenation
Who should avoid Fraxel laser treatment?
- patients taking prednisone or other steroids
- patients on isotretinoin
- patients with a history of keloids or another scarring condition
- patients in poor health
- patients with poor wound healing
Is Fraxel laser treatment safe?
The Fraxel Laser gained FDA approval in 2005 and was recognized as the first tractional laser at the time of its introduction. This technology is celebrated as a significant breakthrough in the field of laser treatments. Key features include minimal recovery time and a lower likelihood of side effects. A wealth of research, studies, reviews and personal testimonials underscore its importance. Although there are many imitations, the original Fraxel laser remains unmatched. It is utilized in numerous locations worldwide. When applied properly this laser is both safe and effective. It’s distinctive ability to selectively target small areas of the skin allows for gradual rejuvenation while maintaining the integrity of the surface healthy skin.
Is Fraxel safe for darker skin tones?
The Fraxel laser treatment is suitable for all skin types, although the power settings on the laser may require adjusting. For darker skin, the laser settings may need to be lowered. That is why seeing a skincare specialist with expertise in laser devices is essential. This laser may not be for everyone, as some patients may prefer a no-downtime laser like the Cynosure RevLite laser or a mini Fraxel like the Clear + Brilliant, which has less downtime.
Can I have Fraxel if I have acne breakouts?
It is highly recommended that acne be treated before undergoing the Fraxel laser treatment. This is crucial to avoid active acne breakouts during the procedure.
Can I get Fraxel if I have a history of cold sores or herpes on my lips?
To prevent a recurrence of a herpes infection, it is necessary to take Valtrex (valacyclovir) pills by mouth before and after the procedure. The physician will send a prescription to your pharmacy before the procedure. You cannot have the laser with an active infection, as it will spread the infection.
Is it safe to get Fraxel treatment after recent sun exposure?
Refraining from sun exposure for 3–4 weeks before undergoing this treatment is advisable. The application of a Fraxel laser is not suitable for tanned skin.
Is it safe to get Fraxel treatment while wearing self-tanner?
You should wait for the self-tanner to fade away naturally. Many doctors can remove it with a peel treatment in their clinic. The laser perceives the self-tanner as a genuine tan.
Is it safe to have Fraxel after a facelift?
Yes, Fraxel can be safely performed after a facelift, but it’s important to wait until your skin has fully healed from surgery. Typically, we recommend waiting about 6-8 weeks after a facelift before undergoing Fraxel. This ensures your skin is in optimal condition for treatment and minimizes the risk of complications. Fraxel can help enhance the results of a facelift by improving skin texture, tone, and addressing issues like pigmentation or scarring. Always consult with your plastic surgeon to determine the right timing and treatment plan for your individual needs.
Conditions Treated
What skin conditions does Fraxel treat?
- Texture irregularities such as acne scars, uneven skin texture, or stretch marks
- Fine lines, deep facial lines, and wrinkles
- Sun damage, melasma, pigmentation, brown spots (age spots) on the face or body
How well does Fraxel work for acne scars?
Remember that once your skin has been scarred by acne or surgery, it will never regain its original appearance due to tissue damage. However, the appearance of these scars can significantly be improved with multiple fractional laser treatments. The extent of improvement will vary depending on the severity of the scars. It is important to maintain realistic expectations as the level of correction is influenced by the depth of the original scar.
In cases of deep scars, a doctor can inject fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, or other injectables to improve them. These deep scars may need added volume with filler in the center to correct them. These fillers contain an anesthetic, making the procedure relatively painless. This will enhance the skin's overall beauty and improve the final result. Other procedures such as PRP, Thermage radiofrequency, and microneedling may also be beneficial in treating these scars.
Each time your skin is treated with the Fraxel laser, it will stimulate the skin cells and promote new collagen production. This collagen makes the skin smoother and produces a more uniform complexion, and improvements are seen. Your skin will look refreshed and glowing. Most patients are content with the outcome of their laser treatment and are already planning their next appointment.
Can Fraxel effectively treat actinic keratosis?
This laser resurfacing procedure will improve and eliminate some actinic keratoses. It is another treatment option that some physicians use in conjunction with cryotherapy and topical prescription medication.
Can Fraxel treat loose skin?
Due to new collagen formation, the skin tends to become slightly firmer following a Fraxel laser treatment. However, for more effective skin tightening, opting for a radiofrequency procedure is recommended. A Fraxel laser may be combined with a radiofrequency skin-tightening device in certain cases.
Can Fraxel remove brown spots on the hands?
The Fraxel laser is frequently used to treat brown spots on clients' hands. This is one of the most commonly used areas for this laser. This treatment eliminates the brown spots, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Is Fraxel effective for treating chest wrinkles and sun damage?
This particular location is commonly chosen for the Fraxel laser treatment, as it is highly beneficial in eliminating sun damage on the chest, brown spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Many women regularly request these services, expressing their desire to combat the appearance of aging caused by uneven skin tones.
Will Fraxel improve the signs of aging?
A Fraxel laser improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and the overall skin texture.
Can Fraxel be an effective laser treatment for scars?
Fraxel is highly effective for laser scar removal, especially for acne scars, surgical scars, and other textural irregularities.
Procedure
How is Fraxel laser treatment performed?
Patients usually schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Jaliman to review the skin disorders they want treated, such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, rosacea, fine lines, or stretch marks. Depending on the desired outcome and time constraints, the Fraxel laser procedure can be arranged for another time or carried out on the same day if it is decided that it is the ideal therapy method. An hour before the procedure, the entire area is covered with a topical numbing cream. By taking this action, possible discomfort is reduced to a minimum. When applied to the face, a Fraxel Dual 1550/1927 therapy session lasts about fifteen minutes. For larger body parts like the arms and legs, it could take 30 minutes or more.
Just after the process, your skin gets warm, like a minor sunburn. Following treatment, an ice pack will be administered to the skin; if needed, this can be continued at home. Patients can then use moisturizer but still need to avoid the sun completely.
Many patients combine Fraxel laser therapy with other skin-rejuvenating procedures for the best cosmetic results. For individuals who experience face redness or rosacea, the Laser Genesis might be used with the Fraxel laser. Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that only targets the skin's red pigment at a certain wavelength. Stretch marks, rosacea, broken capillaries, pigmented acne scars, and other types of facial redness are all effectively less noticeable with Laser Genesis. Furthermore, you can effortlessly combine Fraxel Laser therapy with aesthetic injectables like Juvederm and Botox to get the finest possible cosmetic outcomes.
Whether you want to repair wrinkles, acne scars, or general sun damage, Dr. Jaliman can create a personalized treatment plan. Brown pigmentation can be treated with a 100% Thulium laser, while wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and textures are usually treated with a 100% Erbium laser. Dr. Jaliman frequently employs a combination treatment that includes both thulium and erbium for more thorough outcomes. The Fraxel Dual's most remarkable feature is that it may be customized to meet your specific needs for each treatment.
Fraxel produces excellent outcomes with little downtime. Depending on the number of age spots and the degree of pigmentation, an area may require as little as three or two treatments. The outcome is radiant, lovely skin. The average monthly treatment plan for wrinkles, scars, and fine lines is four to five sessions. Overall, improvements in skin tone, texture, and fine lines result in a younger-looking, healthier appearance.
How long does a Fraxel treatment take?
The actual laser takes 20 minutes. However, considering the time required for numbing before the procedure and icing after the treatment, it is advisable to allocate an hour and 30 minutes for your office visit.
What is the treatment schedule and when will I see results?
In 1-3 months. Collagen production increases, improving texture, fine lines, and scars.
Recovery, Aftercare & Side Effects
How much downtime is there after Fraxel laser treatment?
After this procedure, there are a few days of redness and swelling. It is common for people to schedule an appointment on a Friday, allowing them to recuperate over the weekend so they don't have to take time off from work. The treatment area may resemble mild sunburn and can be concealed with makeup or tinted sunscreen.
What side effects can I expect after Fraxel treatment?
Swelling and redness are common side effects that may occur from lasers, especially from the Fraxel laser. Additionally, hyperpigmentation is a potential side effect but is not commonly seen. Bacterial and viral infections are very rare, especially since precautions are taken with prescription medication by mouth.
Are there any activity restrictions after Fraxel treatment?
Yes, there are some activity restrictions after Fraxel treatment to ensure optimal healing and results. For the first 24-48 hours, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, or any activity that may cause your skin to become irritated or overheated. Additionally, you should avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and swimming for at least 1-2 weeks.
Should I wear sunscreen after Fraxel treatment?
It is crucial to apply sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection and an SPF of 30 to 50. Dr. Jaliman advises opting for a sunscreen that contains a significant amount of zinc oxide.
How soon can I exfoliate after Fraxel treatment?
It is advised to wait a week following a Fraxel laser therapy session before exfoliating. Skin flaking is one of the most prevalent effects patients experience during the short downtime connected with Fraxel treatment. Letting the skin recover independently is crucial rather than trying to scrub the flakes off to get the finest aesthetic results. Dr. Jaliman will provide all the aftercare instructions to achieve and maintain the finest rejuvenation results when you get Fraxel laser skin resurfacing in NYC. Staying out of the sun the week after your Fraxel laser treatment and using mild skin care products is crucial. Skin photosensitivity increases in the treated area after Fraxel laser treatment, increasing the skin's vulnerability to UV damage. Refraining from exposure to the sun shields the skin as it heals and keeps any skin issues from worsening.
Treatment Schedule & Results
How many Fraxel sessions do I need?
Everyone’s skin is different. Patients who have dark spots and melasma can generally expect good results even after undergoing one or two sessions. Patients who have scarring, wrinkles, scars from incisions, or textural issues will benefit most from a series of approximately five treatments, with each session spaced four weeks apart. Results are visible 2–3 months after the procedure.
How far apart are the treatments scheduled?
The treatments are scheduled four or more weeks apart.
How long do the results of Fraxel treatment typically last?
The Fraxel laser treatment is a lasting solution for acne scars, permanently removing them. However, when it comes to addressing fine lines and wrinkles, the natural aging process persists. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo periodic treatments to sustain a rejuvenated and radiant complexion.
What to do BEFORE your Fraxel treatment?
Patients with a history of hyperpigmentation (especially those with darker skin tones) may benefit from pre-treating with hydroquinone or vitamin C serum or AzaSmooth (12 % azaleic acid. This pre-treatment should begin 2 weeks before the Fraxel treatment.
Patients prone to cold sores should take antiviral medication beforehand.
Those using retinoids may need to stop them a few days before treatment to reduce sensitivity.
Sun exposure should be avoided before the procedure to minimize the risk of complications.
Can men benefit from Fraxel laser treatment?
The Fraxel laser has proven highly effective in treating numerous individuals, particularly men with acne scars, surgical scars, or other skin issues. The outcomes achieved through this treatment have been exceptional.
What skincare should I use after Fraxel treatment?
It is advisable to use a product containing mild ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. This will effectively moisturize extremely dry skin. Apply a substantial amount of the product and make certain it is fragrance-free. Micellar water is an excellent choice for removing make-up or sunscreen. Avoid potent acids like retinol, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid, as they may irritate. Avoiding a product with essential oils is best as they have fragrance. By following these tips, you can promote the speedy healing of your skin.
Introduction to Fraxel Laser
How Does This Laser Work?
There are two lasers in one with the Fraxel® Dual laser since it has two different settings or laser beams. Using a cutting-edge Thulium laser with a wavelength of 1927 nm, we can rapidly, uniformly, and nearly painlessly eliminate pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage from the skin. By focusing on particular chromophores or colored components within skin cells, this particular wavelength of light may reduce pigmented areas by causing a regulated, localized heat reaction. To reduce discomfort, the Fraxel Dual has a Zimmer Chiller device that releases cold air concurrently with the laser.
The Fraxel Dual laser's Erbium component uses the 1550 nm wavelength to treat wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and skin texture. The Erbium technology promotes new collagen formation by concentrating energy in the skin's deeper layers. The new collagen created improves the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, pore size, acne scars, skin texture, stretch marks, and surgical scars.
Fraxel Dual delivers precise, targeted light energy to the skin in fractionated form. Fraxel produces small wounds to the skin to promote the body's natural healing process and the synthesis of new collagen. Compared with traditional skin resurfacing lasers, fractionated energy has the advantage of causing less damage to the skin, resulting in a quicker healing period.
The Treatment Process
Is Fraxel painful?
A medical team member will apply a topical numbing cream to the patient's skin 45 minutes before the procedure. The Zimmer Chiller device will also deliver cold air to the skin to minimize discomfort and dissipate the heat emitted from the laser, as there is a prickling sensation. Some patients describe a burning feeling in their skin. In some cases, pain medication will be given by mouth. No anesthesia is needed.
Is eye protection needed during Fraxel treatment?
Eye protection is required during a Fraxel laser. Eye shields are used to ensure the safety and protection of your eyes.
Can fraxel be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Fraxel can be combined with other treatments like laser hair removal, body contouring, and Botox, but the timing and treatment plan should be carefully coordinated. It is safe to combine Fraxel with Botox but Botox is typically done after Fraxel to avoid diffusion from skin inflammation.
Fraxel and laser hair removal are not recommended on the same area simultaneously due to skin sensitivity. Best to space them a few weeks apart.
Fraxel and body contouring can be done on different areas (Fraxel on the face, body contouring on the abdomen) without issues.
Can I have blood vessels treated when I have the laser?
Spider veins, also known as blood vessels, can be effectively treated using a different laser, the Cool Glide, during a separate treatment session.
Is it possible to treat the nose or chin with Fraxel?
Sometimes, it is unnecessary to have the Fraxel laser treatment on the entire face. If you only have scars on a specific region of your face, you can focus on treating that area. The decision depends on your requirements, as some patients only have scars on their cheeks, nose, or chin.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Q: How many treatment sessions are needed?
If you have a lot of sun damage and sun spots, three Fraxel laser treatments spaced one month apart are usually required for the best outcomes with facial pigmentation treatment. Numerous sessions are required to achieve the optimum cosmetic results since each Fraxel laser treatment treats roughly 25 to 40 percent of the area at a time.
Patients with wrinkles, fine lines, or acne scars typically require four to five treatments spaced at least one month apart, depending on the extent of their condition. Even though there is an instant improvement following the laser treatment, each Fraxel laser treatment results in months of new collagen formation for ongoing rejuvenation.
Q: How does Fraxel compare to other skin treatments?
Fraxel stands out for its precision, effectiveness, and versatility, especially when it comes to treating deeper skin concerns like scarring, wrinkles, and sun damage. It is a great option for those looking for substantial, long-term improvements without the need for frequent treatments. While other treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or Botox may work well for specific concerns, Fraxel is ideal for comprehensive skin rejuvenation and more significant issues.
Q: Why is it important to see a dermatologist for Fraxel laser?
A dermatologist specializing in aesthetic procedures plays a crucial role in assessing skin conditions, recommending the appropriate Fraxel treatment plan, and ensuring the safety and efficacy of the procedure. Their expertise in skincare contributes to achieving the desired outcomes. Book a consultation with our clinic if you need a dermatologist in NYC.
Can I combine Fraxel with other treatments?
Yes! After a single Fraxel laser treatment session, most patients see a noticeable change in the texture and tone of their skin. But it's typical to combine Fraxel with other cosmetic procedures to get the best possible results for skin rejuvenation. After laser skin resurfacing, dermatologists often employ a combination of Botox® to address dynamic fine lines and dermal fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® to diminish the appearance of deep wrinkles and restore volume lost with aging. After Fraxel, microneedling combined with PRP is a standard procedure to preserve optimal results. The concept behind Fraxel and PRP microneedling is identical, except that Fraxel causes superficial skin micro-injuries, whereas PRP stimulates collagen production. Before Fraxel, the Laser Genesis could improve facial redness, ruptured blood vessels, and scars from acne since it targets red pigment from the skin at a specific wavelength. Collaborating closely with Dr. Jaliman to identify a personalized treatment plan to enable you to achieve your goals is ideal.
One of the most popular combinations with Fraxel skin resurfacing treatment is the Thermage CPT or TempSure Envi radiofrequency treatment. Thermage CPT and TempSure Envi are regarded as two of the most effective non-invasive methods of skin tightening. Radiofrequency energy is used to heat the dermal layers and create new collagen, and Thermage CPT and TempSure Envi tighten the skin. Patients can readily arrange a treatment session because radiofrequency has no downtime. Another benefit that patients frequently experience is that the rejuvenating benefits can linger for up to two years. Thermage CPT, or TempSure Envi's skin-tightening and Fraxel's rejuvenating properties, create the best cosmetic results.
Does insurance cover Fraxel laser treatment?
The Fraxel laser is considered an aesthetic procedure and is not covered by medical insurance. The price will be discussed in detail before this treatment.
