What is Fraxel Laser Treatment? Your Comprehensive Guide to Skin Rejuvenation

Summary

Fraxel is a non-invasive fractional laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by stimulating collagen and resurfacing damaged skin. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver, Fraxel is a popular choice for clients seeking results without surgery or long downtime. This advanced technology targets skin concerns like sun damage, fine lines, scars, uneven tone, and enlarged pores. Whether you’re looking for overall skin rejuvenation or addressing a specific concern, Fraxel offers real improvements with a personalized approach. Contact Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver to schedule your Fraxel consultation and find out if this treatment is right for you. 

A Smarter Way to Rejuvenate Skin

Laser treatments have come a long way—and Fraxel is one of the most trusted names in modern skin resurfacing. Unlike older lasers that treated the entire skin surface, Fraxel uses fractional technology to target tiny zones beneath the skin’s surface while leaving surrounding tissue intact. The result? Faster healing, better precision, and dramatic improvements in skin quality.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, Fraxel is a go-to solution for patients who want to refresh their skin without invasive procedures or extended downtime. 

How Does Fraxel Work?

Fraxel uses controlled laser energy to create microscopic columns in the skin, known as “microthermal zones.” These zones trigger the body’s natural healing response—stimulating collagen production and replacing damaged or pigmented skin with healthy new tissue.

This dual action—removal of damaged skin and stimulation of regeneration—makes Fraxel especially effective for improving fine lines, scarring, and discolouration. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is faster and safer for a wide range of skin tones.

What to Expect During A Fraxel Laser Treatment Session

Before the treatment, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance comfort. The Fraxel device is then passed over the targeted area, delivering precise energy pulses. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or heat.

A full treatment typically takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, you may experience some redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation, which subsides in a few days.

Who Is Fraxel For?

Fraxel is suitable for many skin types and is commonly used to treat: 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Sun spots and pigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Uneven skin tone and rough texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks

It’s an excellent option for anyone seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation with visible, gradual results. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we tailor each treatment to your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients require a series of 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Improvements build over time as collagen production increases and new skin develops.
