Understanding Fraxel Treatment

Fraxel is a term derived from the word 'fractional', referring to a technique that locally irradiates laser energy with microscopic intervals instead of applying it to the entire surface of the skin.

This principle involves creating microscopic holes in the skin to apply artificial stimulation, thereby helping to activate the skin's natural regeneration process.

The method of inducing partial damage can offer the advantage of promoting overall skin improvement while reducing the recovery burden.

Exfoliative vs. Non-Exfoliative Fraxel Comparison

Ablative Fraxel: This method microscopically removes the epidermal layer of the skin and delivers energy down to the dermal-epidermal junction. While it can directly help improve skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation, a certain recovery period may be required.

Non-ablative Fraxel: This method stimulates the dermal layer with heat while keeping the epidermis intact. Recovery may be faster, but the resulting effects can vary among individuals.

The Pico Fraxel utilized in our clinic is a non-ablative laser.

Fraxel Irradiation Methods: DOE vs. MLA Comparison

Fraxel's energy irradiation methods are broadly categorized into DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) and MLA (Microlens Array). The DOE method delivers laser energy uniformly across the entire treatment area, allowing for relatively stable application. However, due to output limitations, the practitioner's skill can be crucial for scar improvement.

In contrast, the MLA method concentrates strong energy in the central part and irradiates the surrounding areas with weaker energy. This method is generally suitable for improving deep scars.

We treat patients with various skin conditions every day. Each individual's skin, and even the same person's skin, has different conditions day by day.

During Fraxel treatment, we meticulously examine the skin's condition on the day of the procedure and delicately adjust the output and depth in 0.1 increments accordingly.

For our patients, we strive to be more accurate and safe with every treatment.

The success of Fraxel treatment comes not just from the equipment, but also from the delicate skill and expertise of the medical staff.

We will provide heartfelt care for patients who trust us and visit our clinic.

Treatment Areas

Can be applied to skin areas showing reduced elasticity or fine wrinkles, such as the face, neck, and back of the hands.

Treatment Process

• STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation

• STEP 02. Anesthetic Cream Application

• STEP 03. Fraxel Laser Treatment

• STEP 04. Skin Calming Management

Post-Treatment Precautions

• On the day of the procedure, refrain from washing your face and applying makeup. Light cleansing is possible from the next day.

• Tip marks, redness, and pain in the treated area may persist for about 7 days, and cooling management using ice packs can be helpful.

• Since Fraxel is a laser peeling treatment, it is best to let the dead skin cells that appear 3-4 days after the procedure shed naturally.

• Until all dead skin cells have naturally shed, you should refrain from alcohol consumption, smoking, visiting saunas, bathhouses, or swimming pools.

• The period from post-treatment until dead skin cells have shed (1-2 weeks) is a skin regeneration period, so consistent application of a regenerative ointment is recommended.

• Pay special attention to moisturizing care for skin calming, and it is crucial to thoroughly apply sunscreen when going outdoors.
