Pre-Treatment Instructions

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 once daily in the evening and leave it 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, 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.
