Fraxel Laser Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Fraxel Laser in Edmonton, and How Does It Work?
- 1550 nm targets deeper layers of skin to treat acne scars, wrinkles, and deep lines effectively.
- 1927 nm targets superficial skin layers, ideal for improving pigmentation, sun damage, and overall skin tone.
What skin concerns can Fraxel laser treat?
- Fraxel laser treats skin concerns by creating microcolumns of heat that trigger collagen and speed cellular renewal. It refreshes tone and texture with minimal downtime while preserving surrounding tissue safely.
- Common targets include fine lines, under-eye crepiness, enlarged pores, rough texture, and laxity on the face, neck, and chest. Fraxel rebuilds dermal support, softens etched wrinkles, and revives dull skin.
- It improves acne and surgical scars, and some stretch marks by remodeling tissue and stimulating new collagen. Fraxel fades sun damage, age spots, freckles, and postinflammatory discoloration for an even complexion.
- On hands and body areas, Fraxel reduces sun spots and roughness; protocols can treat precancerous actinic keratoses. Results build gradually over several sessions, with maintenance for clarity and smoother texture.
How is a good candidate for Fraxel Edmonton?
- Best candidates want improvement in fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, rough texture, sun spots, or melasma, and prefer a non-surgical option with downtime.
- Most skin tones are treatable with appropriate settings and protection; ideal candidates are healthy, untanned, and have realistic goals for gradual, cumulative improvement.
- Suitable candidates disclose medications and conditions, including photosensitizers, isotretinoin history, keloid tendency, eczema, or active acne; cold-sore history should be managed with prophylactic antivirals.
- Good candidates commit to a series, follow pre-/post-care, avoid sun, wear mineral SPF, tolerate redness and peeling, and understand collagen remodeling unfolds over months.
- Not candidates: pregnancy or breastfeeding, unstable conditions, recent sun exposure, open wounds or infection, unrealistic expectations, or inability to pause irritating actives and procedures during recovery.
How should I prepare for my Fraxel laser appointment?
- Begin 2–4 weeks before: avoid sun, tanning beds, and self-tanner; wear daily mineral SPF 30–50 and protective clothing. If prone to melasma, ask about pigment-suppressing cream and stop 5–7 days before. Discuss isotretinoin history.
- One to two weeks before: disclose all meds, especially photosensitizers and blood thinners (don’t stop without prescriber); pause waxing, threading, depilatories, peels, microneedling, and strong facials; arrange antivirals if you get cold sores.
- Three to five days before: stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, scrubs, and strong vitamin C; use gentle cleanser and bland moisturizer; avoid new products/devices.
- Twenty-four hours before: skip alcohol and heavy workouts; hydrate; shave hair-bearing areas.
- Day of: arrive clean, product-free; wear loose clothing; remove contacts if treating eyelids; allow numbing; take prescribed pre-meds.
What after‑care steps should I follow?
- First 24 hours: cool compresses (no ice), cleanse, pat dry, petrolatum every 2–3 hours; sleep elevated; acetaminophen.
- Days 2–3: expect redness, swelling, bronzing; don’t pick; moisturize; ceramide cream when dry; sun avoidance, mineral SPF.
- Days 3–7: peeling is normal—let it shed; mineral makeup when dry; exercise after ~72 hours as heat settles.
- Days 8–14: continue mineral SPF and moisturize; still avoid retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, scrubs, strong vitamin C.
- After 2 weeks: reintroduce actives slowly when skin is calm; maintain SPF; keep routine simple and hydrating.
- If instructed soaks: diluted white-vinegar soaks (1 tsp per cup cooled, boiled water) 5–10 minutes, then moisturize.
- Contact clinic for worsening pain, spreading redness after day 3, yellow crusting, fever, blisters, cold sores, or rash.
When will I see results, and are they permanent?
- First week: As redness and swelling fade, skin feels smoother and looks brighter; early tone evening usually appears by days 5–10.
- Weeks 2–4: Texture and pore refinement become more noticeable; pigmentation lightens steadily as damaged cells lift and turnover accelerates.
- Months 1–3: Collagen remodeling deepens results—fine lines soften, acne or surgical scars flatten, and overall clarity, bounce, and luminosity improve.
- Months 3–6: Maximal improvement typically emerges; continued sunscreen, gentle skincare, and adherence to your plan help consolidate gains.
- Are results permanent? Scar and texture gains are long-lasting, but aging and sun exposure continue. Pigment can recur with UV or hormones. Maintain results with daily mineral SPF 30–50, habits, and touch-ups; many schedule maintenance or series for durable change.
