How Fraxel® for Face works
Fraxel® uses patented fractional laser technology to target damaged skin using microscopic laser columns that penetrate into the skin.
- Fraxel® treats only a fraction of tissue at a time
- Surrounding skin remains intact, helping promote rapid healing
- This stimulates your body’s natural healing response—replacing old, damaged skin with fresh, healthy-looking skin
Two Wavelengths (Personalized Treatment)
Fraxel® uses two wavelengths, customized by your provider:
- 1927 nm: Resurfacing at the epidermal layer (sun damage, pigmentation, superficial concerns)
- 1550 nm: Deeper epidermal + dermal treatment (texture, acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles)
The depth and intensity are determined by pulse energy settings and your goals.

What to expect
During
Fraxel® laser treatment can feel uncomfortable, but it is generally very well tolerated. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth, prickling, or a moderate sunburn feeling, rather than sharp or intense pain. Thanks to modern comfort measures (numbing cream, cooling device), the majority of patients experience mild to moderate discomfort only, and many are pleasantly surprised by how manageable it is.
After
After treatment, common temporary effects may include pain/discomfort, redness, and swelling, lasting an average of several days. A sunburn-like appearance, temporary darkening, and dryness/peeling may occur depending on:
- The aggressiveness of the treatment
- The area treated (face vs body)
- Your body’s healing response


Results
Your skin may feel softer, look brighter, and show more even tone. Results are immediate and progressive as deeper layers continue to heal over the following months.
You may notice:
- Smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin
- Improved tone and texture
- Softening of fine lines (especially around the eyes)
- Reduction of unwanted brown spots and visible sun damage
Results can last for years, depending on your age, skin condition, and skincare/sun protection habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Fraxel® uses fractional laser technology to create microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This promotes rapid healing and stimulates collagen renewal for smoother, brighter skin.
Does Fraxel® laser treatment hurt?
Fraxel® is designed to be a comfortable, well-tolerated laser treatment. Patients usually describe the sensation as warmth or light prickling, similar to a mild sunburn, rather than pain. While sensitivity varies from person to person, most experience only low to moderate discomfort during the session.
To keep you comfortable, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and the laser is paired with a cooling airflow system that continuously soothes the skin while the laser is working. These measures significantly reduce sensation and help prevent overheating of the skin.
Based on extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of laser, radiofrequency, and light-based devices, Fraxel® consistently stands out as one of the most comfortable options for achieving meaningful skin renewal without aggressive resurfacing.
What happens during the appointment?
Preparation (30–60 minutes):
Your skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort.
Laser treatment (15–30 minutes):
The laser is passed over the treatment area. You may notice warmth or a tingling sensation, which is continuously balanced with cooling air.
Aftercare:
Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive clear post-care instructions to support healing and maximize results.
How long does a Fraxel® session take?
The laser portion of a Fraxel® treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes for the face, or slightly longer for larger body areas. Including preparation and aftercare, plan for a total appointment time of 1 to 2 hours.
What kind of results can I expect?
Brighter, smoother skin, more even tone, reduced spots, softened lines, and improved overall skin texture on both the face and body.
How will my skin feel afterward?
After treatment, the skin typically feels warm and flushed, similar to sun exposure. This usually settles within hours to a day. Over the following days, mild swelling and a light exfoliation may occur as the skin renews itself. Compared to more aggressive laser treatments, recovery time with Fraxel® is short, and most patients resume daily activities quickly.
When do results appear, and how long do they last?
Results are immediate and progressive. Continued improvement occurs over the next few months. Results can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.
Why choose Fraxel® over other lasers?
Fraxel® delivers visible skin improvement without unnecessary discomfort. Because it is non-ablative*, it avoids the prolonged burning, rawness, and extended downtime associated with more aggressive resurfacing lasers. The result is effective rejuvenation with a faster recovery and a more comfortable experience.
*laser treatment that stimulates collagen and improves skin texture without removing or damaging the outer layer of the skin, resulting in minimal downtime.
