What Is Fraxel?

Fraxel is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that works by creating thousands of tiny treatment zones in the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. The body heals those treated areas by producing fresh collagen and replacing damaged skin cells, gradually improving tone, texture, and clarity. It's a more targeted approach than treatments that address only the skin's surface. Fraxel can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Benefits of Fraxel

  • May reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Can improve uneven skin tone and sun damage
  • Targets acne scars and surgical scars
  • Addresses age spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation
  • Stimulates collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin
  • Suitable for multiple treatment areas beyond the face

Am I a Good Candidate for Fraxel?

Fraxel tends to work well for adults bothered by sun damage, uneven pigmentation, acne scarring, or early signs of aging who want more significant improvement than what surface-level treatments provide. It can be appropriate across a range of skin types, though candidacy depends on skin tone, health history, and goals. A consultation with our team is the best way to know for certain.

Why Choose Neem Medical Spa for Fraxel?

At Neem Medical Spa, treatment recommendations follow a thorough assessment, not a standard menu. Our providers take time to evaluate your skin carefully, weighing your concerns, skin type, and timeline before moving forward with anything. Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing in Chestnut Hill works best when the approach is tailored to the individual, and at our Chestnut Hill location, that's how every treatment is handled.

Your Consultation

When you come in, our team will review your concerns, examine your skin, and discuss your goals. You'll learn what Fraxel involves, how many sessions may suit your situation, and what results are realistic for your skin. It's also a good time to ask about downtime, aftercare, and how Fraxel fits into a longer-term skincare plan.

How Much Does It Cost?

Fraxel pricing varies based on the treatment area, number of sessions, and the approach used for your skin. During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized cost estimate and walk you through financing options, including CareCredit and Affirm. We want you to have clear information before making any decisions.

What to Expect During Fraxel Treatment

Before Your Session

In the days before your appointment, you may be asked to pause retinoids and certain medications, and to limit sun exposure. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand to keep you comfortable.

During Your Session

The Fraxel device moves across the treatment area in careful passes, targeting the deeper layers where lasting change happens. Most patients describe a sensation of warmth and mild prickling. Sessions take between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the area being treated.

After Your Session

The skin will look red immediately after treatment and may feel similar to a mild sunburn. Swelling and warmth are common in the first 24 to 72 hours. Peeling or flaking typically begins within a few days. Your team will send you home with specific aftercare instructions.

Fraxel Recovery

Most patients plan two to five days away from social settings while the initial redness and peeling resolve. By day five to seven, skin typically looks much closer to normal, though some pinkness may linger for a week or two depending on treatment intensity. Sunscreen is essential throughout, and your team will advise on which products are safe for healing skin.

Fraxel Results

Improvements in texture, tone, and pigmentation typically become visible within a few weeks of treatment. Acne scars may look softer, sunspots lighter, and fine lines less defined. For deeper concerns, a series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended. Many patients return for annual or biannual maintenance to hold onto their results over time.

Fraxel and Fraxel Dual: What's the Difference?

Fraxel offers two wavelengths that work at different depths. The deeper wavelength targets concerns like acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture. The surface wavelength addresses pigmentation, sun damage, and melasma. Used together in a single session, this is called Fraxel Dual. Your provider will recommend the right approach for your skin during your consultation.

Can Fraxel be used on skin of color?

Yes, but the approach needs to be adjusted based on your skin tone. An in-person evaluation is important to make sure the treatment is done safely and effectively for you.

When will I start to see results?

Some improvement may be visible within two to three weeks. Results continue to develop over several months as new collagen forms, with the most noticeable changes often appearing around the three-month mark.

What products should I avoid before my treatment?

You may be asked to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, and certain prescription topicals in the days before your session, along with limiting sun exposure. Your provider will give you a full list at your consultation.

Will I need to plan time off work?

Most patients take two to five days. Redness and peeling are visible during that window, so plan accordingly.

How is Fraxel different from a chemical peel?

Peels use acids to exfoliate from the surface. Fraxel goes deeper, making it better suited for concerns like acne scars and significant sun damage. The two can work well together as part of a broader treatment plan.

What is the difference between Fraxel and Fraxel Dual?

Fraxel Dual uses both wavelengths in a single session, addressing deeper textural concerns and surface pigmentation at the same time. Whether you need one or both depends on your skin and will be decided at your consultation.
