How Does Fraxel Laser Work?

Fraxel is one of the most clinically validated, FDA-approved forms of laser resurfacing. Its lasers work on 2 levels at once. One wavelength resurfaces texture at the skin’s surface; the other triggers collagen remodeling deeper in the dermis—creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones per pass while leaving surrounding tissue intact to drive faster healing. It’s that layered approach that makes Fraxel effective where surface-only treatments fall short. Explore our anti-aging treatments to see how Fraxel fits into your broader skincare plan.

What to Expect: Fraxel Laser at BodyLase

Fraxel at BodyLase is performed with precision, expertise, and your comfort in mind. Here’s what to expect from your Chapel Hill Fraxel laser treatment.

Step 1

Consultation

Your provider begins with a thorough review of your skin and goals. You’ll work together to determine whether Fraxel laser treatments are the next right step for your treatment plan.

Step 2

Step 3

Fraxel Treatment

Your provider passes the Fraxel handpiece over the treatment area. Its dual wavelengths stimulate collagen production and cellular turnover at both surface and dermal layers.

Step 4

Downtime & Aftercare

Before you leave, your provider walks you through aftercare and schedules a follow-up. You may see redness, swelling, or peeling for up to 7 days post-treatment.

Not All Lasers Reach the Dermis—But Fraxel Does

Most lasers address the epidermis. Fraxel’s dual wavelengths go deeper—into the dermis, where scar tissue forms, melanin pools, and collagen breaks down.

Acne Scarring
Fraxel’s 1550nm wavelength penetrates to the mid-dermis, where textural acne scarring lives.

Melasma & Stubborn Pigmentation
Fraxel’s 1927nm wavelength is absorbed by water in the upper dermis, precisely where melanin deposits in melasma and chronic pigmentation tend to concentrate. It’s a clinically specific approach to a concern that resists generalized treatment.

Collagen Loss
Both wavelengths trigger a controlled wound-healing response in the dermis, stimulating new collagen production that continues for 3–6 months post-treatment.

FAQs About Fraxel in Chapel Hill

Below, we’ve gathered the most common questions our clients ask about Fraxel at our Chapel Hill spa.

Most clients need 3 to 5 Fraxel sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will recommend a treatment count based on the depth of your concerns and your skin’s response.

Fraxel can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by triggering a collagen remodeling response in the dermis—improving the overall density and texture of the skin surrounding each pore. Pore size itself is largely genetic, but the skin laxity and textural irregularity that make pores appear more prominent respond well to Fraxel’s resurfacing action. Results are typically more pronounced when pore visibility is connected to sun damage or acne scarring.

Most clients see initial improvement within 2 weeks of their first Fraxel session as the skin resurfaces and heals. For concerns like deep acne scarring or significant sun damage, a series of 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart typically produces the most meaningful results. Milder concerns may respond in 1–2 sessions. Your provider at BodyLase’s Chapel Hill spa will recommend a protocol based on your specific skin history and goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes. Fraxel’s deeper wavelength remodels scar tissue at the dermal level, making it one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for textural acne scarring. Multiple sessions produce the best results.

Fraxel works on a range of skin tones, but settings are adjusted carefully for clients with deeper Fitzpatrick types to minimize pigmentation risk. Your provider will assess your skin and recommend whether Fraxel or an alternative is the better fit.

Laser facials are safe when performed by trained providers using FDA-cleared laser technology and treatment parameters calibrated to your skin type. The risks—including redness, swelling, and temporary pigmentation changes—are manageable and typically short-lived when aftercare protocols are followed. At BodyLase’s Chapel Hill spa, every laser treatment is performed by experienced providers who assess Fitzpatrick type, skin history, and contraindications before any session begins.
