Fraxel in Midtown NYC

Fraxel is a fractional laser that targets thousands of microscopic zones within the skin to improve fine lines, scars, discoloration, and uneven texture. It stimulates collagen and resurfaces damaged skin in a controlled and predictable way.

Yes. Fraxel is highly effective for rolling scars, atrophic scars, and mixed acne scarring. Some scar types, such as deep ice-pick scars or tethered scars, may require additional treatments like subcision or chemical reconstruction. A consultation at StudioMD will determine the best approach for your specific scar type.

The number of sessions varies depending on skin tone, severity of concerns, and desired downtime. Some patients benefit from a single session, while others may require three to five treatments spaced several weeks apart. The intensity chosen during each session also influences the total number needed.

Most patients tolerate Fraxel well. A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to reduce discomfort, creating a manageable prickling sensation. Patients who are anxious or very sensitive can request additional comfort measures.

Expect mild redness, warmth, and bronzing for a few days. Swelling is common in the first twenty-four hours. Peeling typically begins around day three. Avoid sun exposure, sweating, and harsh products until the skin fully heals.
