Frax
Facial

The Frax Facial is our fractional laser resurfacing treatment performed with the Cynosure Icon 1540 non-ablative laser. It creates microscopic treatment zones beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.

The Frax Facial is excellent for improving: • Acne scars • Fine lines and wrinkles • Uneven texture • Enlarged pores • Stretch marks • Surgical scars • Sun damage • Overall skin rejuvenation

Fraxel® is a brand name of fractional laser technology. Our Frax Facial uses the Cynosure Icon 1540 fractional non-ablative laser, which works on the same principle of creating controlled microscopic treatment zones to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.

Before treatment, we'll apply prescription-strength topical numbing cream for approximately 20 minutes to maximize your comfort. Most clients describe the treatment as feeling warm with a snapping sensation. It's very manageable, and the treatment is relatively quick.

Expect redness similar to a moderate sunburn for the first few days. Mild swelling may occur for 24 to 48 hours, followed by dryness or bronzing as your skin heals. Most clients return to work within a few days, depending on the intensity of treatment. You may notice texture over the next week, like a fine grit on your skin, which is invisible to the eye but you can feel it with your fingers. As the skin cells turn over, the texture smooths out.

Most clients achieve their best results with a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. More significant acne scarring or deeper wrinkles may require additional sessions.

Some improvements are visible once the skin heals, but collagen remodeling continues for several months after each treatment. Your skin will continue becoming smoother, firmer, and healthier over time.

Fractional treatment creates controlled zones in a portion of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untreated. Non-ablative means it does not remove the full skin surface like an ablative laser.

Frax may be considered for selected texture, fine-line, photoaging, and scar concerns. Candidacy and expected change depend on the target and your skin.

Redness, warmth, swelling, dryness, or a sandpaper-like texture can occur. The intensity and duration vary with settings and individual response.

No. The goal is gradual improvement in visible texture or contrast, not complete removal.

Recent tanning and unprotected sun can increase burn and unwanted pigment risk. Follow your provider's pre- and post-treatment sun instructions.

A series is common for corrective goals, but the number and spacing depend on the concern, settings, response, and recovery.

Frax uses fractional laser energy for resurfacing. XERF uses radiofrequency energy for skin tightening. Describe whether your priority is surface texture, a scar or skin laxity; these are different treatment goals and may call for different plans.

If a particular scar is your main concern, use the scar treatment information and describe its location and history to the clinic. A general facial resurfacing appointment should not be assumed to cover every scar type or body area.
