Watch Our Fraxel Laser Treatment in Action
During your initial consultation, we will take detailed pictures of your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your specific skin concerns and treatment goals. We will explain the Fraxel laser procedure, potential side effects, and the cost involved to ensure you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.
The Fraxel laser procedure involves cleaning the treatment area, applying a topical numbing cream, and using the Fraxel laser device to treat the skin. The process feels like tiny pinpricks, and the numbing cream helps manage any discomfort. Post-treatment, your skin will feel like it has a mild sunburn. You should avoid direct sunlight and apply soothing ointments. Optimal results are usually seen after a series of treatments.
Treatment Timeline, Preparation, and Aftercare
14 Day Before
Before undergoing Fraxel treatment, it's essential to prepare your skin to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Follow these steps for the best outcome:
- Start using the prescribed bleaching cream containing 5% transaminase acid, niacinamide, and kojic acid at least 2 weeks before the treatment. Apply it once daily in the evening and leave it on overnight. The lotion costs $70 and is provided directly after the consultation.
- Discontinue the use of the bleaching cream 3 days before the treatment to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily and avoid excessive sun exposure.
- Avoid using products containing retinoids, glycolic acids, or salicylic acids for at least one week before the treatment.
- Ensure to bring your medication list and current skin products to discuss in detail during the consultation.
- Avoid tanning or using self-tanners.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.
Day of Fraxel Treatment
On the day of your Fraxel treatment, follow these preparation steps to ensure a smooth procedure:
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser.
- Apply numbing cream as directed by the practitioner to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After your Fraxel treatment, it's crucial to follow these immediate post-care instructions to support healing and maximize results:
- Apply cold compresses or ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin moist.
- Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area.
1 day Post-Treatment
During the first 24-48 hours after your Fraxel treatment, adhere to the following care routine:
- Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser. We recommend the Vivier HEXAM Gentle Cleanser due to its soothing and antimicrobial properties. Alternatives include CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, or Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser.
- Continue using a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. Our recommended product is the Vivier LEXXEL Moisturizing Cream, but other options include CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, or Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream.
- Apply the moisturizer as needed, typically 4 to 5 times a day, especially when the skin feels dry or tight.
- Avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, hot showers, and saunas.
3 Days After
In the days following your treatment, your skin will start to peel and flake as part of the healing process. Continue using the recommended gentle cleanser and moisturizer to maintain hydration and support your skin's recovery. Additionally, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, reapplying every 2 hours when outdoors.
7 Days Post-Treatment
In the days following your treatment, your skin will start to peel and flake as part of the healing process. Continue using the recommended gentle cleanser and moisturizer to maintain hydration and support your skin's recovery. Additionally, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, reapplying every 2 hours when outdoors.
14 Days Post-Treatment
Once the skin has healed and there are no sensitive areas or significant peeling, you can resume using the prescribed bleaching lotion if you are treating pigmentation. If treating scars, begin applying the silicone scar gel around 7-10 days post-treatment to minimize scar formation and promote smoother healing.
3 Month After
Gradually reintroduce your regular skincare products, avoiding any harsh or irritating ingredients. Continue using the recommended cleanser and moisturizer for as long as you wish, as they are beneficial for maintaining hydration, supporting skin barrier function, and promoting a healthy complexion. You can request to buy the Vivier HEXAM Gentle Cleanser ($65), the Vivier LEXXEL ($118), or Silicone Scar Gel ($50) from Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre. Please note that this cost is not included in the Fraxel treatment price.
