How does Fraxel work?
Fraxel deliver energy deep into the skin, stimulating the generation of new skin cells and collagen. This reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, breaks down scar tissue, targets stretch marks, discolouration and pigmentation, and texture.
"I loved the results from having this treatment - I definitely noticed a tightening on my jawline and my cheekbones look more lifted. The laser gave a very noticeable glow after the redness subsided (for me this happened on day 3) and I've been going practically makeup-free since the treatment - just putting on some concealer under the eyes and a bit of bronzer. My skin has never looked this good basically."

Your Questions Answered
What happens during treatment?
Depending on your pain threshold and the type of treatment, topical anaesthetic may be applied 10- 30 minutes prior to treatment. Your doctor will then place a handheld device that pulses the laser onto your skin, moving the device over the treatment area. Cool air is applied during and after the treatment to ease any discomfort.
Does it hurt?
Each pulse of the laser causes a snapping sensation that can be compared to the snapping of a rubber band. The device has a built in cooling system is highly effective at providing additional comfort.
When will I see results?
Results depend on the type of treatment being carried out, but you will generally notice an improvement in both texture and tone of the skin one to two weeks after the first treatment. After three or more consecutive treatments, there will be further improvement.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart is recommended. You may also wish to incorporate a treatment touch-up treatment every six months to maintain results.
