Are you looking for a way to refresh your skin and address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, or sun damage? Fraxel® laser resurfacing could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
This minimally invasive treatment is designed to improve your skin’s texture and tone, giving you a more youthful and flawless appearance.
At Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand & Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Nevada, our board-certified plastic surgeon and his team select the best in cosmetic treatments, including Fraxel laser resurfacing. Here’s how Fraxel can transform your skin and why it might be the perfect treatment for you.
This noninvasive, fractional laser treatment targets a wide range of skin flaws. Unlike traditional laser treatments that remove the entire top layer of skin, Fraxel works by creating microscopic treatment zones, leaving your surrounding skin intact.
This approach means faster healing while stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, more youthful skin.
Fraxel is highly effective for treating:
By taking on these common skin issues, Fraxel helps to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. The result is a radiant and rejuvenated appearance.
The list of reasons to choose the Fraxel laser system to resurface your skin is long. Here’s a look at some of the top advantages of this treatment:
One of the key benefits of Fraxel is its ability to treat more than one of your skin flaws in just one session. This means that whether you’re dealing with wrinkles, sun damage, or scarring, Fraxel can address these issues at the same time, making it a versatile and comprehensive treatment.
Because Fraxel treats only a fraction of your skin at a time, the recovery process is quicker compared to traditional laser resurfacing. Most patients experience redness and swelling for a few days, followed by a gradual improvement in skin texture over the next few weeks.
Another reason to select Fraxel is that the treatment can be tailored to your specific skin type and concerns. Whether you need a mild refresh or more intensive correction, your Carl N. Williams, Jr. M.D. Hand and Plastic Surgery provider can adjust the laser’s settings to achieve the desired results.
Fraxel is a safe and effective choice for a wide range of skin tones and types. Your provider evaluates your skin during your consultation to ensure this treatment is the right choice for you.
Fraxel’s combination of effectiveness, safety, and minimal downtime makes it a popular choice if you’re hoping to see significant skin improvements without undergoing invasive procedures.
Before your Fraxel laser session, your provider cleanses your skin and applies a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Passing the Fraxel laser over the treatment area delivers controlled energy to your skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or warmth.
The entire procedure takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After your treatment, you may have some redness and swelling, which usually subsides within a few days.
As your skin heals, you’ll see a gradual improvement in texture and tone. Optimal results are typically seen after 2-3 months, with continued improvement as collagen production increases.
To achieve flawless skin, your provider may recommend multiple laser resurfacing sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
Dr. Williams and his team are dedicated to providing personalized care customized to your skin concerns and goals. During your consultation, we assess your skin and discuss your desired outcomes to create a customized treatment plan.
If Fraxel isn’t the best option for you, our team may suggest complementary treatments or alternatives, such as injectables, radiofrequency (RF) therapies, or microneedling.
