Fraxel Laser Treatments
LASER CENTER
If you want smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin without extensive downtime, Fraxel laser treatments offer one of the most effective options in modern dermatology.
At Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center, our board-certified dermatologists use Fraxel’s advanced fractional laser technology to target signs of aging, pigmentation and scarring with precision and minimal disruption to your daily routine.
How Fraxel Technology Works
Fraxel delivers microscopic columns of laser energy into the skin to stimulate cell turnover and rebuild collagen from within. This process resurfaces damaged tissue while leaving the surrounding skin untouched, allowing for faster healing.
Fraxel uses two wavelengths to address multiple concerns:
- 1550 nm: Targets deeper layers for texture, scarring and wrinkles
- 1927 nm: Focuses on pigmentation, sun damage and tone irregularities
At Contour Dermatology, Fraxel laser treatments are tailored to your skin type and concerns, ensuring you receive the right intensity for the best possible outcome.
Benefits of Fraxel Laser Treatments
Fraxel is ideal for patients who want meaningful improvements without prolonged healing or invasive procedures. Here are some of its benefits:
- Improves fine lines, wrinkles and early aging
- Fades sun spots, brown spots and hyperpigmentation
- Softens acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks
- Enhances overall tone, clarity and radiance
- Minimal downtime compared to more aggressive lasers
- Safe for a wide range of skin types
- Predictable results and long-term collagen stimulation
What to Expect During a Fraxel Treatment
Your Fraxel session is performed in-office by our experienced dermatology team with patient comfort and safety as top priorities. Before we apply the laser energy, your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
During treatment, you may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the device glides across the skin to deliver fractional energy. Our sessions usually last 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the area.
Fraxel Recovery Timeline
After your session, you can expect redness similar to that of sunburn, and makeup can be worn to minimize the appearance. You may experience about three to five days of downtime, depending on the area you’re treating. Over the next week or so, your skin will begin to bronze and flake — apply moisturizer to reduce the flakiness. It’s essential to wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoid prolonged and direct sun exposure.
How Many Fraxel Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with three to five sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. However, some individuals may benefit from fewer or more treatments depending on their goals and skin conditions.
During your consultation, your provider will create a customized plan based on:
- Skin type
- Desired level of improvement
- Depth of pigmentation or scarring
- Lifestyle and downtime expectations
