FRAXEL Laser
Fraxel is a non-invasive, microscopic laser that penetrates your skin to encourage new collagen and elastin growth. Translation: It smooths wrinkles and scars, fades brown spots, and basically resurfaces your entire skin tone. Unlike really aggressive lasers, Fraxel is a fractional skin resurfacing treatment, which means it only targets a fraction (fraction, Fraxel—get it?) of the skin at a time.
Fraxel at Chiangmai is a gold standard laser treatment approved by the US FDA in terms of safety and effective results. Treatment is spotting Mid Infrared laser into the skin cells to activate shedding of damaged cells and reproduction of new skin cells without any side effects or scars.
Fraxel skin resurfacing is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that removes years from your appearance without the risks, side effects or prolonged downtime of other procedures.

How does Fraxel work?
The technology behind Fraxel is as revolutionary as the results it delivers. Unlike other laser treatments, Fraxel skin resurfacing treatments are able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin?s surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. Fraxel stimulates the body’s own healing process which replaces damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
Fraxel skin resurfacing treatments can target between 5 to 50 percent of the skin’s surface, leaving the remaining 50 to 95 percent available to quickly help heal the treated areas. Since Fraxel treatments are so precise, it is safe and effective to use on even delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands, in addition to the face.
You can expect two levels of results; immediate and progressive. Immediately after the initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter, and tone will start to become even. Progressive results occur over the next three to six months, as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal.
After Fraxel
- Avoid cosmetics that contain AHA, BHA or Vitamin A within 24 hours. Moisturizing cream is recommended.
- If there are scabs of skin exfoliation you should not peel it off or scratch it. It is better to let the scabs fall off naturally, and use cream to provide moisture to the skin.
- Use sunscreen SPF 30 or more.
- Avoid exposure to sunlight for 1 - 2 weeks.
