Fractional Laser Resurfacing Benefits

Fine Lines / Wrinkles

The precision of the Frax 1550 system allows for targeted treatment of fine lines and wrinkles with minimal downtime.

Collagen Stimulation

Fraxel will stimulate collagen production deep in the skin. Collagen improves skin volume, elasticity, and overall rejuvenation.

Scars / Burns

Frax can be effective in reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars, promoting skin renewal and remodeling.

Pigmentation

Versatile in addressing pigmentation irregularities, including sunspots and uneven skin tone, promoting an even complexion.

Texture Issues

The system’s precision allows it to target areas with rough texture, contributing to overall skin smoothness throughout treatment areas.

Sun Damage

FRAX is well-suited for treating sun-damaged skin, helping to restore a healthier and vibrant skin tone. FRAX also pairs great with other technology.

Get Both! Fraxel Dual Transforms Skin.

Opting for both fraxel technologies targets common skin issues to help restore smoother texture, remove pigmentation, and achieve a more youthful appearance.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Questions (FAQ)

Patients typically experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure. Some patients experience a rough texture as well. These effects usually subside within a day or two. The downtime is minimal compared to other skin resurfacing methods.

FRAX is effective in treating a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, acne scars, tone, and overall skin texture. We often suggest doing a treatment with both technologies if a patient has a variety of goals in mind. While it can help with laxity (loose skin), it is not a first-line option.

Patients do feel a sensation of heat during treatment. Discomfort is minimal, and effectively managed through topical numbing applied before the procedure. Patients find the procedure to be quite tolerable, and every patient has completed a full treatment. For those with lower pain tolerance, adjustments can be made by extending the application time of the numbing cream, or modifying energy settings as necessary.

The ideal treatment plan depends on your unique skin health and goals. For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a recommended approach involves two or more sessions depending on skin health. These sessions are strategically spaced at intervals of approximately 4 weeks to maximize efficacy.

However, individual responses to treatment vary. Remarkable results have been observed with just one or two sessions. Treating the body can heal quite differently from the face. Outcomes tend to become obvious within 1 to 2 months, aligning with the healing process and the generation of new collagen.

Post procedure care products are included in your treatment price. Getting great results requires simple aftercare, so we provide patients a kit made by AlumierMD. The kit is formulated to help keep you comfortable (nobody wants itchy or red skin!), as well as helping skin recover quickly.

Patient Kits Include:

SensiCalm, 15 mL
SensiCalm is a smooth, hydrating cleanser that delicately removes impurities and excess oil while calming skin. Yucca root extract is a gentle natural cleanser; niacinamide, ceramides, vitamin E and sunflower seed oil moisturize, leaving skin smooth, soft and intensley hydrated. Aloe soothes skin and calms redness.
Intensive Recovery, 15 mL
Specifically formulated for post-procedure recovery and packed with soothing, anti-irritant and antioxidant ingredients, this moisturizer relieves redness and calms skin. 1% hydrocortisone relieves irritation and redness. Hinokitiol, sea whip and boswellia soothe and copper peptide improves the look of skin.
Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40, 15 mL
A silky and sheer physical sunscreen that provides powerful protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. It uses a combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, while moisturizing with vitamin E. This formula is also packed with free-radical quenching antioxidants, including a stable vitamin C, Vitmin E, resveratrol, grapeseed extract and glutathione, to protect skin from UV damage.

Choosing between Laser Treatments (like FRAX) and RF Microneedling depends on your specific skin goals. Lasers work top-down with light energy, ideal for surface concerns like pigment, texture, and certain scars. RF Microneedling uses needles to deliver energy deeper (bottom-up), making it superior for non-surgical skin tightening (laxity). Both stimulate collagen and improve texture. For maximum results, these treatments can often be combined. A consultation will help determine the best personalized approach for you.

Results vary, but many patients notice improvements in skin texture and tone with Frax 1550 within a few weeks after treatment. Collagen production continues over several months, leading to gradual and long-lasting improvements. With Frax 1940 we see results quicker for tone and pigmentation improvements – showing in roughly two or three weeks after treatment.

While traditional CO2 lasers effectively treat deep wrinkles or some types of scars, they are ablative (remove skin), requiring more significant downtime, more complex aftercare, and carry higher risks (like pigmentation, especially in darker skin). FRAX (fractional lasers) offer similar rejuvenation and texture improvements non-ablatively. This means FRAX is better tolerated, involves minimal downtime (often just a day or two of redness), needs simple post-care, and is safer for a wider range of skin types. Though FRAX isn’t as deep as CO2, results can be enhanced with multiple sessions or by combining it with other techniques like chemical peels or microneedling. FRAX provides compelling results with greater comfort and safety for most patients, but CO2 remains a great option for specific cases where skin removal is necessary.

Yes, Frax (referring to the Nordlys™ Frax 1550nm and 1940nm treatments) is very similar in concept and function to Fraxel® and other fractional laser treatments. Fraxel® is a specific, well-known brand name for a popular line of fractional laser devices. Because it was one of the pioneers, the term “Fraxel” is often used generically by patients to refer to any fractional laser treatment

Yes, FRAX treatments are vey similar to Erbium 1550nm lasers. They use micro-laser columns operating in a similar nanometer range, targeting aging/sun damage to remodel collagen with minimal downtime. Despite similar goals and technology, results will always have differences. Skilled application, tailored treatment planning, and good post-care are key to success with any technology.

While both are great technologies that share many goals, the Sciton Halo® and Candela Nordlys™FRAX lasers do differ. Halo is a hybrid laser combining superficial skin removal (2940nm Edrbium:YAG ablation) with deep non-ablative heat (at 1470nm, which is similar to FRAX 1550) simultaneously. This can lead to more initial downtime (redness, swelling, MENDs). FRAX (1550/1940) is purely non-ablative, targeting specific depths without removing skin, allowing for faster healing. While both stimulate collagen in a similar way, we find a key distinction is pigmentation treatment: Halo® does not correct pigment issues, whereas FRAX can effectively treat melasma, sun spots, and freckles as part of superficial resurfacing with Frax1940nm treatments. Frax 1940, is actually far more similar to Sciton’s much newer Moxi™ laser.

Yes, they are all very similar. Each is a non-ablative fractional Thulium laser using nearly identical wavelengths (1940nm vs 1927nm is very similar). They were designed to target the same superficial skin concerns (pigmentation and tone), and offer comparable minimal downtime. Candela Medical developed the Frax 1940nm more recently than Moxie or Ultra, and cited studies showing the slightly different energy at 1940nm optimized water absorption (which the company claims allows for better outcomes). The actual clinical difference will be subtle. Having experience with both the Ultra and 1940 systems, we find them both excellent and highly comparable. We have not used the Sciton Moxi™, but it should be capable of similar results. However, the Ultra and 1940 lasers appear to have more flexibility in power output.
