What conditions can the Fraxel FTX treat?

It has shown to smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, even out skin tone and reverse sun damage.

How does it work?

Unlike other lasers that remove the top layer of skin, the Fraxel FTX stimulates healing under the surface, causing the body’s natural repair process to begin.

How many sessions are needed?

Even one session will show noticeable improvement, but three to five sessions are usually recommended.

What areas can it treat?

The Fraxel FTX is versatile. It works not only on the face but also on the neck, chest, hands and other areas.

Is there any pain involved?

The Fraxel FTX utilizes cooling technology that minimizes discomfort, resulting in less swelling and faster healing.

What about downtime?

The skin will be red for three to five days, followed by light peeling, but patients have reported seeing positive changes in the first week. It will continue to improve over months as new collagen is created.

Patients can usually get back to work in about a week.
