Fraxel re:store™ and the newer generation Fraxel® DUAL lasers offer a combination of the 1550 and 1927 wavelengths in one non-ablative laser. This innovative technology allows for the elimination of sun damaged pigmented cells on the surface of the skin while stimulating collagen production at the same time; leading to firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin1. The Fraxel laser is used to treat a variety of conditions including the correction of wrinkles, scarring, stretch marks, age spots, and other skin discolorations. Fraxel Dual treatment leaves the majority of the skin intact, which allows it to heal very quickly and take advantage of the body’s natural healing process to produce new, glowing, healthy skin. Fraxel in Houston The team at Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center is dedicated to offering the most effective and minimally invasive skin treatments. Dr. Friedman has been performing Fraxel treatments in Houston since 2004 and our office performs thousands of Fraxel treatments each year. If you are seeking Fraxel in the Houston area, we can create a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns and meet your aesthetic goals. Why Choose Fraxel? In the past, people seeking laser treatment of skin conditions had to choose between ablative and non-ablative laser treatments. Whereas ablative techniques gave superior results for the correction of aged and sun-damaged skin, they had significant side effects, including significant discomfort, prolonged healing time, and greater possibility of infection. In contrast, non-ablative techniques have few risks, and little downtime. Fraxel laser is the first non ablative fractional skin resurfacing treatment.

Patients typically benefit from three to five sessions that can be spaced apart by weeks or months, depending on your schedule and your desired results. Preparing for Fraxel It is important to avoid sun exposure and to be diligent in applying sunscreen for several weeks prior to your Fraxel appointment. In your consultation discussion, please discuss your skincare routine and any medications you take, as you may need to adjust your skincare products leading up to your appointment. What to Expect During Fraxel Treatment When you arrive your face will first be cleaned with a mild cleanser, then a topical anesthetic cream is applied for 60 minutes to achieve the desired numbing effect. Once your skin is numbed, the Fraxel procedure is performed. The procedure itself takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, but may vary depending on your treatment plan and areas treated. Fraxel Recovery After treatment, you may apply make-up immediately and many people go back to work the next day. You will experience a mild sunburn feeling for as much as an hour after the procedure, but once this subsides you will most likely feel little discomfort. The skin may be pinkish for three to five days after treatment. There may be minimal swelling that will subside in two to four days. Your skin may be bronzed and may flake in a fashion consistent with a minor sunburn. Be sure to use sunscreen at least twice daily to protect your sensitive skin from sun exposure during the healing phase. To get lasting results, continue to use sunscreen from the next few months, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat when out in the sun. The full results of your Fraxel treatment will become evident over the weeks and months following your final treatment session, as your body repairs the deeper dermal tissues that have been impacted and your body continues to produce new collagen.
