FAQs: Common Questions About Fraxel® Treatment
Collagen regeneration continues over several months. Many patients maintain clear, youthful-looking skin for 1–2 years, depending on sun exposure and maintenance.
With topical numbing, many describe the sensation as “warm” or “tingling” rather than painful. Discomfort subsides quickly.
For pigmentation, 1–2 sessions may suffice; for deeper concerns like scarring or wrinkles, 3–5 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart typically yield the best outcomes.
Most clients resume their daily routines within a few days. Makeup is generally safe after 3–5 days when initial redness subsides. Schedule a consultation so we can discuss all your questions.
