Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing Without Downtime

Fraxel treatment is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that removes years of aging from your appearance — without the risks, side effects, or prolonged downtime of other procedures.

Whether you have sun damage, wrinkles, or other signs of aging, Fraxel treatment delivers remarkable results with fast recovery so you can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin.

How Fraxel Laser Resurfacing Works

The Fraxel laser skin treatment works by creating microscopic injuries to the skin with targeted laser beams, which stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, essential proteins that restore skin’s elasticity and smoothness. Unlike traditional treatments that affect the entire surface of the skin, Fraxel only treats a fraction of the skin at a time. It allows for faster recovery and less downtime. For those in search of a safe and effective option, Jenesis Lipoplasty & Laser offers Fraxel in our San Jose, CA practice as a great choice to tackle various skin concerns, from sun damage to scars.

Ideal Candidates for Fraxel Laser

If you have fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or acne scars, you might be a suitable candidate for Fraxel laser skin treatment. The procedure is designed for individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance without undergoing surgery. Whether you have mild or moderate skin concerns, Fraxel offers a non-surgical solution that delivers long-lasting results. A consultation with our San Jose board-certified surgeon, Dr. Chung, will provide personalized advice and help determine if Fraxel treatment fits your specific skin needs.

Fraxel Treatment Process

During the procedure, the Fraxel laser is applied in short, controlled bursts to the targeted areas of the skin. Most patients report mild discomfort during the treatment, but the sensation is usually manageable. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience redness and slight swelling, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. Over the following weeks, as your skin heals, you’ll start to see improvements in texture and tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need and how will they be spaced?

Everyone’s skin is different, but clinical studies suggest that for most people, maximum results are shown after just three to five sessions. They are usually spaced two to six weeks apart.

Q. Does Fraxel Re:storeTM treatment hurt?

Topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure to minimize discomfort. After the treatment, most patients report a feeling similar to having gotten too much sun. It usually disappears after one to three hours.

Q. What should I expect after Fraxel re:store treatment?

During the first 24 hours after treatment, your skin may feel as though it is sunburned, and it will appear pink or red. You can wear make-up to reduce the sunburned appearance. Your skin will naturally bronze over the next week or two, and as you continue treatment, the sunburned-to-bronzed appearance will repeat. As with sunburn, your skin will flake and exfoliate normally. Use a moisturizer to reduce the appearance of dry flakes.

Q. What side effects can I expect after treatment and how long will they last?

A. Swelling and redness are the most common side effects of Fraxel re:store treatment. Any swelling is typically minimal and subsides within a day or two, and any redness typically fades within a few days. Other temporary side effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance.

There is a very limited risk of infection or scarring. The intensity and duration of side effects depend on the aggressiveness of treatment and on your particular healing characteristics. Dr. Jane will provide specific instructions about what to expect and how to minimize any side effects.

Q. What precautions should I take after treatment?

A. Wear sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, avoid direct sun exposure for at least three months after your last treatment, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re in the sun.

Q. How long do the positive effects of Fraxel re:store treatment last?

It depends on your particular condition and how you care for your skin. Once your skin is treated, continue to protect it as described above. For conditions such as melasma, it is very important to avoid direct sun exposure. Dr. Jane will give you specific advice based on your individual needs.
