What is Fraxel Laser Treatment?
Fraxel laser treatment is a non-ablative fractional skin resurfacing treatment that addresses a wide range of skin problems by promoting the production of new collagen. The Fraxel laser treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing and minimal downtime.
How Fraxel Laser Works on Aging Skin
Fraxel laser treatment is designed to enhance the tone, texture, and radiance of aging, sun-damaged, or scarred skin. The Fraxel laser creates microscopic laser columns that target the deeper layers of the skin, activating the body’s natural healing process. During this process, the surrounding tissue remains intact, promoting rapid healing and stimulating collagen production that will continue to improve the appearance of the skin over time.
This fractional skin resurfacing treatment can improve the following:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- acne and surgical scars
- stretch marks
- hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- actinic keratosis
With minimal downtime, most patients require multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart for the best results.

The Fraxel Procedure: What to Expect
The Fraxel procedure at Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique targets fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections through a structured process:
- Consultation: An in-depth consultation for evaluating your skin type and discussing your treatment goals.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic ointment is applied to minimize discomfort.
- Fraxel Treatment: The Fraxel laser treatment uses microscopic laser columns to penetrate deep into the skin, targeting damaged cells while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients are given instructions designed to promote rapid healing and minimize downtime.
Ideal Candidates for Fraxel Treatment
Fraxel laser treatments are suitable for most men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of their skin. The best candidates have generally healthy skin without active infections or severe skin conditions. Patients with sunburn, dermatitis, or cold sores in the treatment area may need to postpone their Fraxel procedure until these issues are resolved to ensure the best results and minimize risks. Ideal candidates should also be in good health and have realistic expectations for their results.
Recovery and Aftercare for Fraxel Laser
Recovery from a Fraxel laser treatment typically takes about a week. Patients can expect a mild sunburn sensation, along with some redness and swelling. During the first two weeks, the skin may appear bronzed and flaky as the old skin sheds and is replaced by new, healthy skin cells.
With proper care, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using a topical anesthetic ointment, the skin should fully heal. The result is smoother, more even, and youthful-looking skin.
How Long Do Fraxel Results Last?
Fraxel laser treatment offers immediate and long-term skin rejuvenation benefits. Most patients notice improved skin texture and tone right after the procedure. As the skin builds new collagen, further enhancements occur over 3-6 months. Results can last up to a year or longer, depending on several factors, such as your lifestyle and wearing SPF. To maintain your results, Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique may recommend periodic touch-up treatments.
Potential Risks and Side Effects of Fraxel
Fraxel laser treatments are generally safe, but side effects include mild swelling, redness, and flaking. Minimal discomfort is common, and cosmetics can be applied immediately after. Serious complications, like infection, scarring, or discoloration, are rare. To minimize risks and ensure optimal results, patients are advised to select an experienced and reputable aesthetician, such as those at Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique in Houston.
