Get the joy of a smoother skin after Frax. Post-procedure, most people see smoother skin within a few weeks — and the results continue to improve for another six months.
The good news is that with the Frax 1550 there’s less risk of significant complications such as scarring and pigmentary changes compared to fully ablative lasers.
How it works
This
next-generation laser uses high-grade medical technology to deliver a deeper
skin resurfacing experience. Instead of removing the top layer of skin, it
warms up the underlying layers of skin by strategically administering small
columns of heat energy. This helps stimulate collagen production, as well as addressing
several skin concerns.
Because
the roller is programmed to offer consistent resurfacing, you’ll be getting the
more balanced, even skin tone you desire. Also, the device is quiet, giving you
the opportunity for a good nap during treatment.
Good candidates
Optimal
candidates for fractional laser resurfacing have facial lines, wrinkles, acne scars,
surgery or traumatic scars, sun spots, or more extensive sun damage. Fortunately,
there isn’t an age minimum or maximum.
However, people who have particularly sensitive skin or are prone to vitiligo, keloid scars, psoriasis or scleroderma should skip Frax treatment. Unfortunately, these lasers will only irritate the skin further. The same applies to those with skin cancer. But once the cancer has been removed, the fractional laser can provide significant improvement to scars.
Dark skins
Typically, people with dark skin tones are more at risk for melasma or hyperpigmentation, so it would be best to avoid Frax treatment. But people with fair to medium skin tones can tolerate the procedure well, barring there are no other contraindications.
Benefits
- It
can treat acne scars, age spots, and even wrinkles, often producing significant
results after a single session.
- Typical
downtime is less than a week, with a shorter and easier recovery than from
fully ablative lasers.
- This
laser is equipped with a continuous cooling mechanism which improves comfort levels
significantly, while also reducing burn risk.
For
smoother skin after Frax, most people opt for at least three treatments at
monthly intervals. After that, you would do well with yearly maintenance.
