Fraxel treatment before and after

How does a Fraxel Restore (1550nm) treatment work?

Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 laser treatment targets aging and sun-damaged skin through microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin, promoting the body’s natural collagen remodeling process. By treating only a fraction of the tissue at a time, the surrounding tissue remains intact, facilitating rapid healing. This treatment stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells from within.

What precautions should I take after a Fraxel Restore (1550nm) treatment?

After your treatment, it is essential to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least three months, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.

The duration of results varies based on individual skin conditions and post-treatment care. Ongoing protection as advised will help maintain your results. Your physician will provide specific recommendations tailored to your needs.

How many Fraxel Restore (1550nm) treatments will I need, and how will they be spaced?

Initial results are often immediate, with optimal improvements usually visible within 2 to 3 months, allowing time for healing and new collagen production.
