Why Fraxel®

What Fraxel® can improve

Fraxel® is chosen when you want a visible change in tone and texture, not just a temporary “glow”. It targets stubborn concerns that can sit deep in the skin, with improvements that build progressively as your skin renews and remodels over time.

Common concerns treated
  • Pigmentation and sun damage

  • Acne scarring and textural scarring

  • Rough texture and enlarged pores

  • Fine lines where texture is the issue

  • Uneven tone and dullness

  • Overall skin resurfacing and refinement

Individual results vary. Your clinician will recommend the right intensity and treatment areas based on your skin, goals and downtime tolerance.

How it works

How Fraxel works

Fraxel is a fractional laser that treats a fraction of the skin at a time. It creates controlled micro-treatment zones, prompting the skin to repair and rebuild, improving tone, texture and clarity over a course.

Illustration showing how Fraxel fractional laser creates micro-treatment zones to stimulate repair and collagen renewal

Think of it as a reset for damaged skin. By targeting tiny columns within the skin, Fraxel encourages collagen renewal and smoother, clearer skin over time.

  • Targets pigmentation and sun damage

    Helps fade visible discolouration and uneven tone by renewing damaged skin.

  • Improves acne scarring and texture

    Smooths rough texture and helps soften the look of acne scarring through progressive remodeling.

  • Stimulates collagen for fine lines

    Supports firmer-looking skin and softening of fine lines as collagen rebuilds.

Most clients see changes build gradually across weeks. Your settings and number of sessions depend on your skin goals and treatment area.

Timeline

Downtime and results timeline

Recovery varies by intensity and treatment area. Most clients describe improvements as progressive rather than instant. Use this as a practical guide for your first week and the results that build over the following weeks.

Day 0

Treatment day

Red and warm, like sunburn

Expect heat and redness. We will confirm your aftercare, moisturiser plan and sun protection before you leave.

Days 1–3

Early recovery

Dryness and roughness

Redness settles for many clients. Skin can feel dry, tight and slightly rough as it starts renewing.

Days 3–7

Shedding phase

Bronzing and light peeling

Some clients notice bronzing or fine flaking. Keep it simple: moisturise, avoid picking, and stay strict with SPF.

Weeks 2–4

Visible shift

Clearer and more even

Texture often looks smoother and tone starts to even out. This is where many clients notice the first real change.

Weeks 4–8+

Build phase

Firmer, refined texture

Results continue to build, especially with a course. Your clinician will advise the best spacing for your goals.

Plan 3–7 days for visible downtime Intensity and areas affect recovery SPF and aftercare drive outcomes

General guidance only. Individual recovery and results vary. Your clinician will advise what is realistic for your skin, the treatment area, and your goals.

Pricing

Pricing and consultation fees

Fraxel® pricing depends on the treatment area and intensity. Full face is the most common starting point, but we can tailor treatment to smaller areas (lower cost) or include the neck and décolletage (higher cost). For an exact quote, book a free consultation or contact us.

Full-face pricing (guide)

Fraxel + LED (Full Face)

$1,470

65 min

Fraxel Lite (Full Face)

FAQs

Fraxel® Laser (FAQs): common questions

If you are comparing options or trying to plan around downtime, these are the questions we get most. For an exact plan and pricing for your skin and areas, book a free consultation or contact us.

What does Fraxel laser treat?

Fraxel is commonly used for pigmentation and sun damage, acne scarring, rough texture, enlarged pores and fine lines. Your clinician will confirm what is realistic for your skin and the areas you want treated.

What’s the difference between Fraxel and Fraxel Lite?

Fraxel is typically chosen when you want stronger resurfacing for texture and scarring. Fraxel Lite is a gentler option aimed at overall tone and texture with minimal downtime. The best choice depends on your concern, area, and how aggressive you want to go.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients do best with a course rather than a one-off session. Your clinician will recommend the number of treatments and spacing based on your skin condition and goals.

Does Fraxel hurt? Do you use numbing?

Sensation varies with settings and area. We can use topical numbing and tailor intensity to your comfort and downtime. If you are nervous about pain, tell us at your consult and we will plan accordingly.

What downtime should I expect?

Downtime depends on intensity and treated area. Most clients experience redness and a sunburn-like feel early, then dryness and flaking as the skin renews.

When will I see results?

Many people notice the skin looks smoother and brighter as it settles. For scarring, texture and pigment, improvement is usually progressive across a course.

Can you do spot treatments (not full face)?

Yes. We often treat targeted areas of pigmentation or sun damage. Spot treatments can be a cost-effective way to focus on specific concerns. We will confirm suitability and settings at your consultation.

How do I prep and what should I avoid after?

We will give you tailored instructions, but common guidance includes:

  • avoid tanning and sun exposure before and after
  • pause harsh actives if advised by your clinician
  • use gentle skincare and strict sunscreen while healing
  • avoid heat and heavy workouts for a short period if advised

Who is a good candidate for Fraxel?

If you want visible improvement in pigmentation, scarring, texture or fine lines, Fraxel is often a strong option. Suitability depends on your skin, medical history, recent products and treatments. That is why we assess first.
