How Fraxel® Laser Treatment works

Fraxel® Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny deep columns of
treatment in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This
treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates
deep into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin
the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every microthermal zone that
laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue
unaffected and intact. This “fractional” treatment allows the skin toheal
much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body’
s natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter to replace skin
imperfections.
A Fraxel® Laser Treatment Plan

Before treatment you and your doctor will discuss which area (s) of
your skin is appropriate for treatment, what kind of results you can
expect, what to look for after treatment will be schedule. Because
Fraxel® Laser Treatment separates healthy tissue, it is effective
even on delicate skin areas, such as the neck, chest and hands.
By design, each Fraxel® Laser Treatment targets between 20 and
25 percent of the skin’s surface. Clinical studies suggest that on
average, an effective treatment regimen is 3 to 5 sessions,
spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart. Depending upon your condition
and schedule, you and your physician may choose to space
treatment sessions even farther apart. Results are immediate and
progressive. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about 2 to 3
months.
What happens after treatments

You will experience a mild sunburn sensation for one to two hours after treatment. Redness and swelling will vary
depending upon you skin and the treatment. Swelling generally resolves in two to three days. Your skin will have a pinkish
tone for five to seven days, which is a normal sign that skin in healing deeply. You may apply make-up or shave soon after
treatment. New epidermal skin develops immediately, within 24 hours. This process of skin repair involves:
Bronzing: Your skin will have a bronze appearance for 3 to 14 days, depending on the treatment level.
Flaking: Your skin will naturally and vigorously exfoliate as the reorganized skin replaces dead tissue. Flaking is similar to
a minor sunburn, but without the pain. Use of a moisturizer will mask the appearance of flaking.
Sunscreen: Use sunscreen at least twice daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during the healing phase and for
several months after treatment. Apply a moisturizing sun block with an SPF of at least 30. For added protection from
sunlight, use wide-brimmed hats.
Over the following weeks and months, the body repairs the deeper dermal tissues that have been affected by Fraxel®
laser treatment, producing beneficial changes that continue to improve over the next 2 to 3 months.
