Fraxel Laser Treatment

What is Fraxel laser treatment?

If you’re looking to diminish the appearance of crow’s feet, brow lines, and age spots, erase the effects of acne, and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, Fraxel laser treatment may be the right option for you. 

Fraxel laser treatment is a type of cosmetic treatment that addresses aging and sun-damaged skin. Using microscopic laser columns that penetrate into your skin, Fraxel lasers accelerate your body’s natural ability to produce collagen and repair your skin. This works by stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.

What are the benefits of Fraxel laser treatment?

With several skincare treatments available, Dr. Egesi takes the time to discuss your desires and help you achieve your goals. Offering several benefits, she may recommend Fraxel treatment to improve your complexion and promote younger-looking skin. 

Benefits of Fraxel include:

• Smoother complexion
• Improved tone and texture
• Reduced brown spots
• Reduced wrinkles 
• Improved acne scars and surgical scars

With immediate and progressive results, Fraxel lasers provide effective treatment for those looking to heal damaged skin and rebuild their confidence.

How does Fraxel laser treatment work?

At Adaeze Egesi, MD, Dr. Egesi takes the time to sit with you and discuss your goals to provide you with the best results possible. Creating a customized treatment plan for you, she asks about your medical history and any medications you’re taking to avoid complications with your treatment. 

When you come into her office for your Fraxel laser treatment, Dr. Egesi cleanses your skin and applies a topical anesthetic ointment to the treatment area. After allowing the anesthetic to set for 45-60 minutes, she uses the handheld laser device to target sun damage, scarring, and wrinkles. The laser energy heats your underlying tissue to begin the collagen reproduction process. 

A full-face procedure takes 20-25 minutes with a recovery time of 2-3 days. You should notice results shortly after receiving treatment, with improvements progressing over several months as the deeper layers of your skin rebuild. Immediately following your recovery, your skin will feel softer, with visible signs of evening skin tone.
