About Fraxel
Fraxel is an FDA-approved fractional laser treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to replace damaged skin with healthy, fresh tissue. By creating microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin, Fraxel triggers collagen production and accelerates skin renewal. This innovative technology effectively treats signs of aging, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Ahn to discuss your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. He will assess your skin condition and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. During the Fraxel procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. The Fraxel laser device is then gently guided over the treatment area, delivering precise laser energy to stimulate skin renewal.
The session typically lasts between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated. You may experience a sensation similar to a mild sunburn following the treatment, with slight redness or swelling that usually subsides within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with noticeable improvements appearing over the following weeks as the skin heals and rejuvenates.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and desire a minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation. Fraxel is suitable for various skin types and tones and can benefit both men and women seeking to enhance their complexion.
