Fraxel Treatment Summary

Cost & Pricing

Most Fraxel sessions in Edmonton range from $300–$1,600 based on area and intensity. We quote upfront and can bundle sessions for better total value. Final quote at consult based on goals.

What To Expect

Arrive makeup-free. We cleanse, apply numbing, then treat with laser pass. Expect warmth and light snapping for 15–45+ minutes, then pinkness. Plan 60–90 minutes in clinic. Photos help us.

Mechanism of Action

Fraxel delivers fractional zones of heat into the dermis, while sparing surrounding skin. This triggers controlled healing, collagen remodeling, and renewal for smoother texture over time.

Benefits & Results

Expect brighter tone, refined pores, and smoother texture. Fraxel helps soften acne and surgical scars, fine lines and sun damage, with results building session by session. Best in series.

Post-Treatment Care

Redness, swelling, and a sandpaper feel are common. Bronzing and light peeling can last 3–7 days. Most clients return to work in 1–2 days with makeup. Rarely, pigment change or cold sores.

Side Effects & Downtime

For 48 hours, keep skin cool, clean, and well moisturized. Use gentle cleanser, bland moisturizer, and mineral SPF daily. Avoid retinoids, acids, heat, and sweating. No picking or rubbing.

Fraxel 1550 vs 1927: Which Wavelength Do You Need?

Fraxel is a fractional, non-ablative resurfacing approach that can use different wavelengths to target different depths. In practical terms: 1550 nm is typically chosen when the primary goal is texture remodeling (acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines), while 1927 nm is often selected when tone and surface pigmentation are the priority (sun damage, brown spots, uneven tone). Many treatment plans combine approaches across visits to improve both tone and texture while keeping downtime manageable.

Fraxel Laser Frequently Asked Questions

Fraxel Laser is a fractional, non‑ablative skin resurfacing treatment that creates microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) in the skin. By stimulating your body’s natural healing response and collagen production, Fraxel enhances tone, texture, and overall skin quality while preserving the surrounding tissue for a faster recovery. The Non‑Ablative Technology leaves the outer skin layer intact, so recovery is typically fast. The laser system emits dual wavelengths for targeted treatment:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
