What to Expect
During Treatment
During your Fraxel Skin Resurfacing treatment, our Expert Team will first cleanse your skin thoroughly. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort. The Fraxel laser is then meticulously guided across the treatment areas, delivering controlled laser energy deep into the skin. Each session lasts about 60-90 minutes, depending on the size & number of areas being treated. You might experience a sensation similar to tiny pricks or heat during the procedure, but most patients find it tolerable.
Recovery Phase
After your Fraxel Skin Resurfacing treatment, you can expect some redness, swelling & a sensation similar to a sunburn for a few days. Your skin may also feel rough & flake off as it heals. It is vital to follow post-treatment care instructions carefully, including keeping the skin moisturized & avoiding sun exposure. You might see the initial results within a week, but significant improvements will become more apparent over the next few months as collagen continues to rebuild.
For Optimal Results
To achieve the best results, a series of 1-2 sessions per year is typically recommended. Combining your Fraxel Skin Resurfacing treatments with a customized skincare routine, including medical-grade SPF, hydrating products & possibly other complementary treatments, will help enhance & maintain your results. Our team will develop a tailored treatment plan based on your specific skin needs, ensuring you achieve a smoother, more youthful & radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lucere's Fraxel Skin Resurfacing work?
Fraxel Laser treatments work by promoting your skin’s natural healing process. Using microscopic laser columns, the Fraxel Laser penetrates deep into your skin to stimulate your body’s production of collagen, producing a healthier appearance while replacing damaged skin cells with new, healthier cells.
