What Is Fraxel Laser?

Fraxel Laser is a fractional resurfacing treatment that creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

This fractional approach stimulates the skin's natural repair and collagen-remodeling process, making it a popular treatment for acne scars, texture irregularities, pores, fine lines, and photodamaged skin.

What Can Fraxel Laser Treat?

Fraxel may be considered for:

• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Rough skin
• Fine lines
• Sun-damaged skin
• Selected pigmentation
• Post-acne texture
• Age-related skin changes
• Overall skin resurfacing

The appropriate treatment settings depend on the patient's skin type and the depth of the concern.

Fraxel Laser for Acne Scars

Fraxel is widely used as a fractional laser treatment for acne scars.

By creating microscopic treatment zones, the procedure stimulates remodeling within scarred skin and may gradually improve the appearance of certain depressed acne scars and uneven post-acne texture.

Deeper or complex scars may require combination treatments.

Fraxel Laser for Enlarged Pores

Large-looking pores can become more noticeable with acne, excess sebum, sun damage, and reduced skin elasticity.

Fractional resurfacing may support collagen remodeling and improve overall texture, helping pores appear smaller and less noticeable.

Fraxel for Uneven Skin Texture

Fraxel may be considered for patients concerned about rough, irregular, or damaged-looking skin.

As the treated skin undergoes renewal, the complexion may gradually appear smoother, more refined, and more even in texture.

Fraxel for Fine Lines & Skin Aging

Collagen loss and accumulated sun exposure can contribute to fine lines and visible changes in skin quality.

Fractional resurfacing stimulates skin renewal and collagen remodeling, making Fraxel a potential option for fine lines, early photoaging, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Fraxel for Sun Damage & Pigmentation

Depending on the laser wavelength and treatment protocol, fractional laser treatment may also be used for selected pigmentation and photodamage.

Patients with melasma or pigmentation-prone skin require careful evaluation because aggressive treatment may not be appropriate for every condition.

Fraxel vs. CO2 Laser

Both treatments can be used for resurfacing, but treatment intensity and downtime can differ.

Fractional CO2 treatments may be selected for more intensive resurfacing, while other fractional technologies may offer different balances between skin improvement and recovery time.

The appropriate option depends on scar depth, skin type, and treatment goals.

Fraxel vs. RF Microneedling

Fraxel uses fractional laser energy, while RF Microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles beneath the skin.

Both may be used for acne scars, pores, and texture, but they work differently. Some patients may benefit from combining or alternating treatments.

How Many Fraxel Treatments Are Needed?

Fraxel is commonly performed as a series of sessions.

The recommended number depends on the severity of acne scars or texture concerns, laser intensity, skin condition, and individual response.

Fraxel Laser Downtime

Temporary redness, swelling, warmth, dryness, peeling, or a rough skin texture may occur after treatment.

Downtime varies according to the laser settings and treatment intensity. Careful sun protection and post-laser skincare are especially important during recovery.
