Fraxel Treatment Plan
The doctor will see you for a consultation to determine an
appropriate treatment plan. Typically, an effective regime
consists of three to five sessions, spaced about 3-4 weeks
apart. Results are immediate and progressive.
Fraxel Treatment
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied one hour before
treatment to minimize discomfort. If the patient wishes
additional oral pain medication and Ativan can be given.
Then a water soluable tint is applied to highlight treatment
areas. The laser is passed over the skin several times in
vertical and horizontal directions. The tint is then removed
from the skin.
After Treatment
You will feel a mild sunburn sensation for about an hour and
then virtually no discomfort. You may apply a moisturizer
and make up soon after treatment. Men can continue to
shave. There may be some mild swelling which generally
subsides in two to three days. Over the next three to
fourteen days, your skin will have a bronzed appearance and
will then exfoliate. Sunscreen (SPF 30+) must be applied
twice a day during healing and then for several months after
treatment.
