Fraxel laser has gained popularity among celebrities because of its rejuvenating effects. Before we dive into the details of this laser treatment, I would like to say that the name of Fraxel is just a brand name.

Other companies have the same fractional laser but with a different name. Fraxel comes from the fractional laser.

Fractional laser is recommended for those who wish to improve the skin texture and address such skin problems as fine lines, post-acne scars, injuries, surgical scars, sun damage, stretch marks, and dark skin tone.

However, those with sensitive skin and skin issues such as rosacea might want to opt for less aggressive non-ablative laser treatments because fractional laser may cause severe pigmentation.

The working principle of the Fraxel laser is based on creating micro-injuries on the treating area. These micro-injuries heal the skin without damaging it, similarly to micro-needling and derma rolling.

By healing these injuries generate collagen on the treating site.

It is vital to keep in mind that fractional laser might require more than one session of treatment. Therefore, the doctor suggests repeating Fraxel at least three times at a three-week interval.

After the procedure, you can wash your face only in 12 hours. It is important to moisturize the skin and regularly apply sunscreen when going outside to prevent possible side effects.
