Reveal Radiant Skin with Fraxel® Laser Treatment: What You Need to Know

At Plastic Surgery Plus, we’re committed to offering advanced, effective treatments to help our patients look and feel their best. One of the most innovative non-surgical solutions we offer is Fraxel® laser treatment, a highly popular procedure for skin rejuvenation. Whether you're dealing with sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, or uneven skin tone, Fraxel® can help restore a smoother, more youthful appearance—with minimal downtime.

What Is Fraxel®?

Fraxel® is a fractional laser technology designed to target aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodeling of collagen. As your skin repairs itself, it replaces damaged cells with healthy, new tissue. And since the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact. This precision allows for faster healing while still delivering dramatic results.

What Does Fraxel® Treat?

Fraxel® is incredibly versatile and can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. It is particularly effective for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes)

• Acne scars and surgical scars

• Sunspots and age spots

• Melasma and hyperpigmentation

• Rough skin texture and enlarged pores

  
  

What to Expect During Treatment

Most patients describe the sensation during Fraxel® treatment as a mild prickling or warm feeling. A topical anesthetic is usually applied beforehand to enhance comfort. The procedure typically takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Recovery and Results

You can expect some redness and swelling immediately following the treatment—similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms generally subside within a few hours or longer.

Full results appear gradually as collagen production increases and damaged skin is replaced. For optimal results, a series of 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended.
