Fraxel®

Reveal your radiance.

One treatment that accomplishes so much! Fraxel is a non-ablative laser (meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin) that gives you all the skin resurfacing benefits of improved skin tone, texture, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation without the downtime typically associated with ablative lasers.

WHAT IS THE FRAXEL LASER USED FOR?

Revive uses the Fraxel® laser to treat uneven pigmentation and deep wrinkles, acne scarring, as well as sunspots, melasma, and actinic keratosis. The Fraxel® Dual 1550/1927 Laser can be used all across the face and body. It features many benefits, including:

Minimized fine lines and wrinkles
Lightened age and sun spots
Diminished melasma and hyperpigmentation
Improved appearance of surgical and acne scars
Improved tone and texture
Effective treatment of actinic keratosis

HOW DOES FRAXEL WORK?

Fraxel laser treatments are completely customizable to treat specific, individual skin conditions by stimulating the production of healthy, new skin. The Fraxel laser uses unique fractional laser technology to create micro-injuries deep beneath the surface of the skin.

Fraxel’s fractional technology creates micro-thermal zones (similar to a pixel-like grid) deep into the skin, which helps get rid of—and revitalize—old, sun-damaged skin. Each treatment replaces about 15-20% of the sun-damaged, scarred, or wrinkled skin, which is why it may take a few treatments. Fraxel offers the same effectiveness as the harsher, yet effective ablative laser treatment, but with the speedy healing time associated with the gentler, non-ablative lasers.

As the skin begins to heal, the channels repair themselves by creating new collagen and healthy skin. Imperfections like brown spots, wrinkles, and scar tissue are replaced with smooth, toned and more youthful-looking skin.

WHY IS FRAXEL BETTER THAN OTHER LASER SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENTS?

At Revive, we use the Fraxel Dual system for all of fractional resurfacing. Here’s what makes it superior to other laser resurfacing options!

The Fraxel Dual system is actually two lasers in one. There is a 1927nm wavelength that is used for pigmentation problems, such as sunspots. And there is the 1550nm wavelength that is used to improve skin texture, acne scarring, and lines and wrinkles.

At Revive, we use Fraxel Dual with both wavelengths or separately depending on the needs of the individual patient.

Fraxel 1927nm — Sunspots, age spots, freckles, melasma, or actinic keratoses. No one likes these pigmentation issues, and that’s what this aspect of the Fraxel Dual system targets with its thulium fiber component.
Fraxel 1550nm — This wavelength is in effect an erbium laser. It penetrates deeper into the dermis layer of the skin to initiate higher levels of collagen and elastin production. This improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, overall skin texture and tone.
