Fraxel Benefits for Youthful Skin
Fraxel Treatment for Sun Damage
Aging does not bypass any of us, and the first signs of it are often found in the face. Even if we have not spent a lifetime out in the sun, crow’s feet form around the eyes, skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity, and fine wrinkles show up around the mouth.
These are all natural signs of aging, but who of us has not tanned too much as a teenager, exercised daily outdoors, or enjoyed sitting out on the park bench for lunch?
Add ultraviolet damage to our naturally aging skin, and you may see freckles, age spots, sun spots, spider veins, brown spots, sun damage, and leathery and mottled skin accumulate to detract from our appearance.
These photoaging effects are determined by our genetics, skin color, and the amount of time spent in the sun. Add more damage from smoking and you could look 15 or 20 years older than you really are.
Results of Fraxel treatment
See before and after photos of laser resurfacing here. These patients underwent Fraxel CO2 Laser resurfacing. Sometimes patients opt for non-surgical treatments, especially for skin issues, rather than surgery. The benefits include lower costs and less downtime.
Now you can easily reverse the signs of aging with Fractionated CO2 Laser treatments. This safe, minimally-invasive laser skin resurfacing dramatically reduces the finest skin wrinkles and will rejuvenate your by targeting the deeper layers of skin. This new technology does not affect surrounding areas, which greatly improves recovery time. With laser skin treatments ranging from mild to deep, the procedure stimulates facial cells to grow and replace older cells, allowing new collagen in the skin to form. The recovery time is quicker and you should be able to see an improvement of skin texture much faster with Fractionated CO2 Laser treatments than with conventional laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Testimonial
“The Naderi Center is amazing! The entire staff is so welcoming and professional. I had a laser facial done by Dr. Kulak and I’m so happy with the results. I highly recommend her. They also have Ava on staff and she is the best esthetician in the business! Go see her for anything facial.”

The Fraxel procedure
Fractionated CO2 Laser treatments are individualized, and our doctors will discuss with you the final results that you desire. The mildest treatments of Fractionated Laser use CO2 laser light energy to reduce fine lines around the eyes and age spots. Moderate depth Fractionated CO2 Laser is a deeper treatment for wrinkles and blemished skin. Deep Fractionated CO2 Laser is a more aggressive ablative carbon dioxide laser treatment that treats deep wrinkles and furrows, acne scars, and severe skin damage and tightens the skin as well. Recovery time is generally longer with a more aggressive fractionated laser. It may be a week before you are comfortable appearing in social situations, but it is still considerably a shorter recovery time than with the older traditional CO2 laser methods.
Results can be seen with just one Fractional skin resurfacing treatment, but the maximum benefit depends on what you want to see when you look in the mirror. The milder the treatment, the more treatments are needed for maximum benefit. Often patients require anywhere between two to six sessions. At each session, a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the procedure and may be combined with Valium as a mild sedative. You will need someone to drive you in, drive you home, and stay with you for a few hours. The deeper Fractionated CO2 Laser treatments are, the more uncomfortable, but many patients tolerate these Fractionated CO2 Laser treatments without any problems. The deeper the treatments, the more dramatic the results.
The laser targets a portion of the skin much like a checkerboard, leaving other parts of the dermis unaffected for quicker recovery, healing, and shorter downtime. The treatment lasts one hour. Then the healing process of the dermis begins. Your face will feel sunburned and later will look tan. Patience is required as it may be two to three months before the results are visible, but as you can see from the photos of The Naderi Center’s patients here, dramatic results can be seen as early as 2 weeks after your Fractionated CO2 Laser procedure.

Fraxel FAQs
How many Fraxel treatments are needed?
The number of Fraxel treatments needed varies depending on the individual's desired results and the severity of their skin concerns. Some patients may see significant improvement with just one single laser skin treatment, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Our doctors will discuss with you the best treatment plan tailored to your specific needs during a consultation.
How long does Fraxel take to heal?
A single Fraxel laser skin treatment typically requires anywhere between two to six sessions for maximum benefit, depending on the desired results. The healing process after a Fraxel treatment can vary from person to person. It is crucial to follow meticulous post-laser skin care instructions provided by your doctor to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Generally, it may take up to two to three months before the full benefits of the Fraxel treatment are visible as the skin goes through the rejuvenation process.
How long does Fraxel last?
The results of a Fraxel treatment can last for several years, but individual results may vary depending on factors such as sun exposure, skincare routine, and aging. To maintain the benefits of Fraxel, it is recommended to follow a good skin care regimen and protect your skin from sun damage.
