What Is Fraxel\u00ae Laser Treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fraxel\u00ae is a leading fractional laser resurfacing treatment that creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones, called microthermal zones (MTZs), in the skin. These controlled columns of laser energy create microscopic wounds to stimulate collagen production and trigger the skin\u2019s natural healing response, while leaving surrounding tissue intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is faster and safer compared to traditional fully ablative resurfacing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fraxel Dual\u00ae Technology<\/span><\/h2>\n

Advanced Dermatology is among a limited number of practices in Illinois offering the upgraded Fraxel Dual\u00ae system, which uses two complementary wavelengths:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1550 nm (Re:store) \u2013 targets deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and textural irregularities<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1927 nm (Thulium) \u2013 treats superficial sun damage, pigmentation, and fine lines<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These wavelengths can be used individually or together. When combined, the treatment is known as Fraxel\u00ae Dual, allowing for highly customized resurfacing based on your skin concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What Does Fraxel\u00ae Treat?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Fraxel\u00ae Laser Treatment is commonly used for:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Fine lines and deeper wrinkles<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Acne scars and surgical scars<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Sun damage and uneven pigmentation<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Age spots and discoloration<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Melasma (in select cases)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Texture irregularities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Fraxel\u00ae can be safely used on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and other areas. It is also considered safe for many skin types, when performed by experienced dermatologists.<\/span><\/p>\n

      How Does Fraxel\u00ae Laser Treatment Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      The laser delivers precise energy into the dermis,\u00a0 creating columns of precisely wounded skin and stimulating new collagen formation. Over the weeks following treatment, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Because Fraxel\u00ae penetrates deeply, it is particularly effective for laser wrinkle reduction in Chicago patients seeking more dramatic improvement than lighter resurfacing treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n

      What Benefits Can I Expect?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Patients typically experience:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Smoother skin texture<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Improved appearance of scars<\/span><\/li>\n
      • More even tone and pigmentation<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Firmer, rejuvenated skin over time<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Results continue to improve for several months as collagen rebuilds.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Fraxel\u00ae Downtime, Risks & Recovery<\/span><\/h2>\n

        After treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for several days. Mild peeling or flaking is common as the skin heals.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Risks are generally low when Fraxel\u00ae is performed by a trained dermatologist, but may include temporary pigmentation changes, prolonged redness, or infection. All risks and aftercare instructions are reviewed prior to treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Can Fraxel\u00ae Be Combined with Other Treatments?<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Yes. Fraxel\u00ae is often combined with:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Clear + Brilliant\u00ae<\/span><\/a> or Permea for maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Injectable treatments such as <\/span>BOTOX\u00ae<\/span><\/a> or fillers<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Medical-grade skincare programs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Combination treatment plans allow for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.<\/span><\/p>\n
