Fraxel laser (fractional laser resurfacing)

from 381 reviews57 clinics
A non-ablative 1550 nm erbium fractional laser, often paired with a 1927 nm thulium wavelength, creates microscopic columns of coagulated tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact. Untreated tissue between the columns drives faster healing than fully ablative resurfacing.

How long is the downtime for Fraxel laser (fractional laser resurfacing)?

3–7 days. Full recovery 2–4 wks · Flight safe 3 days

Redness, swelling and a bronzed appearance with fine flaking typically occupy the first several days, and a series is needed because each pass treats only a fraction of the surface.
