Fraxel
How will it improve my skin?
It is designed to give you smoother, younger, fresher looking skin with improved tone and texture. It is fantastic for reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and reducing the appearance of unwanted brown spots. Mild acne scarring can also be treated.
Results can be visible within a week of treatment. Your skin will progressively improve over the next few months as the healing process that rebuilds your own natural collagen and elastin continues and replaces your damaged tissue. Optimal improvement is seen in two to three months after your treatment course has finished.
Who does it suit?
Perfect for those aged over 40 who are concerned about wrinkles and fine lines, lack of firmness, discolouration and lacklustre skin. Fraxel re-establishes the contours of the face, reduces wrinkles all over the face, improves skin firmness, refines texture, delivers visible results to delay ageing around the eyes, reduces acne scarring (in all ages) and evens out skin tone, treating sun damage and stubborn pigmentation. Fraxel re:fine can be used on all skin tones, from very fair to very dark.
How much will it cost?
A single Fraxel treatment can vary based on the treatment area however, for a full face Fraxel treatment, the cost for a one off treatment is $999. The results of Fraxel are best seen with a course of at least three treatments. Specific skin concerns or treatment areas such as the neck or décolleté are POA.
What happens during treatment?
A typical Fraxel treatment is completed in about 30 to 45 minutes, but we allow an appointment time of two hours for pre and post care. Most of our clients describe a ‘prickling’ sensation during the treatment. A topical anaesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort and cold air is applied throughout the treatment, which helps combat the heat your skin generates.
How many treatments do I need and how often?
An effective treatment plan usually includes three Fraxel and LED Light Therapy treatments, spaced approximately three to four weeks apart.
What will my skin look like immediately after?
Fraxel re:fine is designed to have minimal downtime. After the procedure it is common to experience a sunburned feeling but this usually diminishes after two to three hours. Some clients experience a mild swelling and puffiness for two to three days. Clients can wear make-up to reduce the sunburned appearance and it is imperative to wear a sunblock after the treatment to protect your skin. We usually treat on Fridays to minimise downtime from work commitments.
How long will it last?
We recommend a “top up” course every two to three years.
