The Fraxel Dual laser treatment is a cutting-edge skincare method that’s changing how people experience skin resurfacing procedures.

All of us at Chic La Vie are beyond impressed with how Fraxel lasers eliminate wrinkles, induce collagen production, remove acne scars, dissolve fine lines, address hyperpigmentation, and improve skin tone and texture.

Every dermatologist and cosmetic doctor in America is dying to get their hands on a Fraxel laser, and we’re proud to be one of the top providers of Fraxel laser treatment in Las Vegas.

Below we’ll be detailing everything you need to know about why Fraxel laser treatment is worth every penny of investment from a cost-benefit perspective, and you can always contact our team today when you have questions or want more information prior to setting up your initial consultation appointment!

What Exactly Is Fraxel Laser Treatment? 

Fraxel laser treatment utilizes trademarked skin resurfacing products that use light rays to smooth out the layers and external appearance of a patient’s skin. Fraxel is actually an abbreviated branding name for the actual skincare procedure referred to as fractional technology.

These treatments involve creating a series of tiny, microneedling punctures within the patient’s dermal skin layer, and these micro-injuries are referred to as imprints. Every imprint is incredibly tiny, so there’s no significant danger or side effects associated with this process.

There are many reasons why people all over the United States are choosing to invest in Fraxel laser treatment, including:

It’s Highly Effective 

Fraxel repair provides high-quality skin rejuvenation results for aging individuals, as well as people of all ages. This laser technology truly is one of the most up-and-coming trends within the skincare industry for a reason, and the Chic La Vie patients continuously rave about how much they love their results.

Whether you’re experiencing redness, swelling, acne scarring, forehead lines, or any other skin concerns, this laser resurfacing treatment will provide the recovery you need without having to spend thousands on cosmetic surgery or other expensive alternatives.

Fraxel Helps Reduce Unwanted Pigmentation 

Fraxel treatments are also known to support patients with reducing all sorts of unwanted skin pigmentation. Some examples of this include the following:

• Fine lines
• Skin laxity
• Age sports
• Sun damage/Sun spots
• Large pores
• Melasma
• Actinic keratosis
• Rosacea
• Vitiligo
• Ichthyosis
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Dermatitis
• Acne
• Wrinkles
• And so much more!

Helps Reduce Pore Sizes & Improve Skin Tone 

Another important consideration for Fraxel patients to keep in mind is that it can address all skin types, complexion and potential breakouts. Large pores just so happen to be a common reason why people invest in laser resurfacing, and Fraxel treatment can boost collagen production that then reduces wrinkles and pore sizes.

And many patients say that Fraxel laser treatment provides better results than Botox and other fillers/injections that are far more expensive!

What Is Fraxel Laser Treatment Recommended For? 

Surgeons and dermatologists often recommend Fraxel treatment to help minimize any scarring after procedures involving extensive incisions. This can include cosmetic procedures like tummy tucks and arm lifts.

Although it’s sometimes difficult to tell whether or not someone is a good candidate for Fraxel treatments, this treatment process is always beneficial for qualified individuals. It’s also important to remember that many Fraxel specialists will have waiting periods, which can sometimes take a few weeks or up to several months. Each Fraxel patient should also keep in mind that they’ll likely require multiple appointments with their specialist to get the best possible results.

So Fraxel laser treatment is typically recommended for all sorts of dermatology needs, because it truly can support just about everything that may concern someone looking for skin rejuvenation services.

Fraxel patients also must remember that this treatment can sometimes be a little bit uncomfortable due to the laser beam’s wavelength sometimes creating a temporary redness or swelling, but these skin tone issues always subside within a matter of a few days.

What Are Some Of The Common Benefits Associated With Fraxel Skincare Treatment? 

Cellular rejuvenation is one of the key benefits of Fraxel treatment, and it’s often connected to many other similar benefits. A lot of skincare patients have trouble fully addressing sun damages and hyperpigmentation issues, and Fraxel is often the solution they’ve been looking for!

Some other common benefits of Fraxel skincare treatment include the following:

Supporting Cell Rejuvenation 

Our external appearances are actually often our body’s internal response to damaged skin cells, and sun spots (as well as age spots) just so happen to be some of the most common concerns for those interested in Fraxel laser treatment.

Sun damage is often caused by melanin, which is our body’s natural defense system to harsh UV rays, and these skin issues often indicate underlying damages. As a patient progresses through Fraxel sessions, the exfoliating microneedling will cause sun spots to slowly but surely disappear.

And what’s even better is that Fraxel repair helps cycle out damaged skin cells for newer, healthier cells!

Stimulating Collagen Production 

UV damages often accelerate signs of aging because these harmful rays can easily break down the elastin and collagen within face and body skin. When elastin and collagen are weakened, it leads to wrinkles, fine lines, breakouts, uneven skin texture, acne scarring, and all sorts of unwanted side effects.

So as Fraxel treatment stimulates a patient’s collagen formulation and overall production, it also supports the underlying structure of the patient’s skin. And what’s truly incredible is that as new collagen is produced, wrinkles and forehead lines begin to dissipate as a more youthful tightness is achieved.

Treating Precancerous Skin Cells 

Fraxel dual lasers also have the ability to repair all sorts of damaged skin on a microscopic level, and these skincare procedures are well-known throughout the industry to successfully treat precancerous skin cells.

By working deep within the structure of a patient’s skin cells, the lasers can effectively aid in the creation of new, healthy skin.

Evening Out Pigmentation 

It’s common for sun damage to leave a person with uneven skin tone or complexion, and Fraxel laser treatment can even out the pigmentation on a patient’s face, neck and body.

Treating Acne Scarring 

Acne scarring is something that a lot of teenagers and young people deal with, which is why Fraxel repair is considered a skincare procedure that’s for people of all ages!

How Long Does It Take To Get Desired Results With Fraxel Treatment? 

What’s great about Fractal laser skincare is that you’ll start to see results almost immediately after the damaged skin cells have been replaced with newer, healthier cells. It’s likely that patients will experience a little bit of redness and swelling for the first few days after treatment, though.

While you’re recovering from Fractal therapy, you’ll want to avoid sun exposure, face-touching, active skincare products, and using dirty linens. It’s important to remember that the laser treatment will initiate a natural healing process, and this new collagen production will develop healthy skin cells that’ll make you look younger and healthier very quickly!

How Many Sessions Are Needed, And How Much Does The Treatment Cost? 

You’re likely going to need more than just one Fraxel session with your Chic La Vie expert, but the number of necessary sessions does depend upon a patient’s overall skincare goals. However, it’s generally recommended to receive at least 3-5 treatments to obtain optimal results.

One of the reasons why it’s so important to get at least a few treatments is because you’ll want to minimize the overall risks of post-procedural scarring. Most Fraxel appointments that entail full face treatment will cost around $1,100, but there are always packages available that make the entire treatment process more affordable.

It’s also important to remember that you may need to wait about 3-8 weeks in between each of your appointments, because this is usually enough time to settle your new collagen and elastin production.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Fraxel? 

Anyone who has wrinkles, fine lines, skin discoloration or sun damage can benefit greatly from Fraxel laser treatment. Fraxel repair is also incredibly helpful for anyone who’s suffering from acne scarring.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should generally avoid laser treatment, and younger patients (under 50) typically see faster results.

What You Need To Do Prior To Your Fraxel Treatment 

After you’ve received your professional diagnosis in your consultation appointment, you’ll then need to begin preparing for your first Fraxel laser procedure. Some of the things you’ll need to keep in mind prior to your Fraxel treatments include:

• Skincare: You’ll need to make sure your skin is in the very best condition it can be possibly be in before your treatment begins.
• Stopping Other Skincare Routines: You’ll need to stop other skincare routines like laser hair removal or waxing on the area where the Fraxel treatment will take place. You’ll also need to avoid excessive sun exposure for a few weeks before your Fraxel appointment.
• Avoiding Active Products: You should stop using any active skincare products for at least a few weeks before your first Fraxel session. This includes avoiding Retinols and abrasive scrubs.
• Purchase Ice Packs: It’s also a good idea to have some ice packs ready for after your Fraxel treatment takes place, as well as a gentle cleanser that your Fraxel clinician advises you to use.
• Nutrition: It’s recommended to eat a healthy meal about two hours before your Fraxel appointment.
• Avoiding Caffeine: You should also avoid drinking any caffeine on the day of your Fraxel appointment.

What Does The Fraxel Laser Treatment Actually Entail? 

You’ll first need to make sure you’re showing up on time for your Fraxel appointment, because you’ll get a numbing cream administered to the treatment area that needs time to kick in. The following are some things that the Fraxel laser treatment entails:

• Any makeup will be removed from the patient (so it’s better to not wear any for your appointment)
• It’s also a good idea to dress comfortably.
• The patient’s skin is then numbed for upwards of an hour, and gel may be applied during this stage as well.
• If the patient is getting a full face treatment, it might take another hour for the actual treatment to be completed. If the treatment area is smaller, the Fraxel laser portion of the process could be as little as 10-15 minutes.
• Everyone has unique sensations associated with Fraxel, but it’s typical to experience slight bits of discomfort during the laser treatment. Some say it only feels like subtle pins and needles, and others say it’s painful. Your clinician will provide you with guidance before and during your treatment to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.

Aftercare Tips To Keep In Mind  

One of the best ways to describe how patients feel after Fraxel laser treatment is that their skin feels sunburned. So you’ll likely want to treat your skin like you would after being out in the sun too long, which can include aquaphor and other safe products to help alleviate the dryness you may experience.

You can also consider Vitamin C serum and ice packs to keep your skin cool and refreshed for the first few days after you receive your treatment. Most of the redness and irritation you may feel will go away within about 3-5 days, and then you’ll be back to normal with skin that’s quickly healing itself for the foreseeable future!
