Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing
A Fraxel laser treatment is designed to target several common skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, and early signs of aging. As we age, our skin experiences a gradual loss of collagen, volume, elasticity, and firmness. This natural process – combined with sun exposure, stress, and other lifestyle factors – leads to wrinkles, discoloration, and many other unwanted skin concerns.
Fraxel uses advanced laser skin resurfacing technology to penetrate below the skin’s surface, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate natural collagen production and promote cell renewal. By targeting both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, Fraxel helps restore a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion from the inside out.
Fraxel is FDA-cleared to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, actinic keratosis, acne scars, surgical scars, and melasma. With over 1.5 million treatments performed worldwide, Fraxel is proven to be safe and effective. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body.

How Fraxel Laser Resurfacing Works
Fraxel is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that works by delivering light-based laser energy into the deeper layers of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response. As the skin heals itself, new collagen is produced, cell turnover accelerates, and damaged skin is replaced with new, healthy cells.
Fraxel is unique in that it uses two clinically proven wavelengths – 1550 nm and 1927 nm – to treat both deep tissue and superficial layers of the skin. The 1550 nm wavelength penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve skin texture, while the 1927 nm wavelength targets the epidermis to reduce pigmentation concerns like age spots, melasma, and sun damage.
As a fractional, non-ablative laser, Fraxel treats tiny zones of skin at a time without damaging the surface. This type of laser resurfacing leaves the surrounding skin tissue intact, promoting rapid healing and accelerating the recovery process. Fraxel can drastically improve the appearance and texture of skin on many areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs.

How Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing Improves Your Skin
Whether you’re targeting fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, or pigmentation concerns, Fraxel offers a tailored approach to skin rejuvenation that delivers visible, long-term improvement.
Improve Skin Texture and Tone
Fraxel laser skin resurfacing creates controlled micro-injuries that enhance skin elasticity and eliminate damaged surface skin cells, helping to shrink enlarged pores and smooth rough, uneven skin
Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fraxel stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines, firming laxity, and revealing a more youthful-looking appearance
Minimize Acne Scars and Stretch Marks
Fraxel triggers the body’s natural healing process to replace damaged cells with new ones, diminishing the appearance of scars from acne, surgery, and trauma
Treat Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
Fraxel targets both surface and deeper layers of the skin to fade dark spots, age spots, melasma, and sun damage, resulting in a more even, radiant skin tone

What To Expect with Fraxel
Fraxel is a non-surgical treatment with no incisions or extensive recovery periods, allowing you to quickly return to your normal daily routine.
After Care and Downtime
You can typically expect one to three days of downtime after your Fraxel treatment. During these first few days, your skin will likely feel sensitive and you may notice mild redness and swelling. Your skin may have a sandpaper-like texture as it begins to heal. After a few days, your skin will begin to peel, revealing a radiant and youthful complexion once complete.
We recommend pairing it with exosome therapy at BodyLase to speed recovery and enhance results. This advanced treatment delivers stem cell-derived growth factors that reduce redness, calm inflammation, and accelerate skin healing.
Long-Last Results
The results of Fraxel laser treatments are both immediate and long-lasting. After just one week, you will notice brighter, clearer, more rejuvenated skin. Since Fraxel stimulates collagen production, your skin will also continue to improve in the weeks and months following your treatment.
The results of a Fraxel laser treatment can last for years. Key tips for prolonging your results include avoiding extended sun exposure, applying SPF, and using medical-grade skincare on a daily basis. After your initial series of four treatments, we recommend coming in for a touch-up appointment at least once per year to keep your skin glowing.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Before and After
What Our Fraxel Treatments Look Like
Be sure to let your provider know about any medical conditions or medications you’re taking so we can ensure that Fraxel is the right treatment for you.
Before the Treatment
Your BodyLase experience will begin with a consultation, where you will discuss your skin concerns and goals with our knowledgeable team members. Through this process, we will create a customized approach that’s tailored to your needs, ensuring you get the results you desire.
During the Treatment
Some clients may experience light to moderate pain or discomfort during laser skin resurfacing. However, to ensure your comfort, our providers will apply topical anesthesia and an integrated cooling application during the treatment. BodyLase is also happy to offer ProNox – a nitrous oxide pain reliever similar to “laughing gas” – to maximize your comfort.
Most Fraxel laser treatment sessions last around 45 minutes, though it will vary depending on the size of the treated area and your specific skin requirements.
After the Treatment
Treatment day: Your skin will likely feel warm and sensitive, almost like a mild sunburn
- Days 1 – 3: You can expect minor redness, swelling, and a sandpaper-like texture as your skin begins to heal
- Days 4 – 7: Your skin may begin to darken in color and peel, revealing a bright and refreshed appearance once complete. Exosomes can expedite this process, reducing the typical recovery time
- Week 2+: Your skin will continue to improve, and the results will become more visible. You will begin to notice clearer, smoother, more radiant skin!
Post-Treatment Care
For the best results after your Fraxel treatment, follow these recommended guidelines:
- Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- Stay out of the sun for two weeks and apply mineral sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily
- Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as retinoids and exfoliants, until your skin is fully healed
Fraxel Laser Cost
Fraxel laser treatments at BodyLase start at $850, with final cost determined by the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions performed. While you will see a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion after your first treatment, our clients experience their most dramatic skin transformations after completing a series of four Fraxel sessions.
BodyLase offers pricing discounts for our multi-session packages to deliver exceptional value and longer-lasting results. We have also partnered with companies such as CareCredit and Cherry to provide interest-free financing options. Our team will work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your budget requirements.
Treatment Timing
Consistency is key! Although most clients notice improvements after just one treatment, we recommend a series of four treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, for optimal results.
While Fraxel is safe any time of the year, it’s best to schedule your appointment during a period when you can avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after treatment. Many clients find that fall and winter are ideal times to begin the treatment series.
