What Is Fraxel Laser Treatment?

Fraxel is a medical-grade fractional laser that treats thousands of microscopic areas of the skin at once, known as microthermal zones. This process stimulates new collagen growth, resurfaces damaged tissue, and accelerates your skin’s natural renewal. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated during each pass, healing is quicker than with traditional ablative lasers, yet results remain powerful and long-lasting.

Fraxel can address aging, discoloration, textural issues, and scarring across multiple areas of the face and body.

How Fraxel Works

Fraxel works by penetrating the superficial and dermal layers with controlled fractional laser energy. This dual action resurfaces the top layer and repairs deeper tissue simultaneously.

Fractional Microthermal Zones

Fraxel creates micro-injuries that trigger the removal of damaged skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This partial treatment pattern allows rapid healing.

Collagen Stimulation

As the body repairs each micro-area, collagen and elastin production increases, improving firmness, texture, and elasticity.

Pigment and Damage Correction

Fraxel breaks apart sun damage, pigmentation, age spots, and blemishes, replacing them with fresh, healthy skin.

Safe for Multiple Areas

Fraxel is used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and areas with acne scarring or sun exposure.

Treatable Concerns

Fraxel is one of the most versatile resurfacing solutions available. Common concerns treated at StudioMD SoHo include:

  • Acne scarring
  • Surgical scars
  • Fine lines and moderate wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage and aging spots
  • Pigmentation and melasma
  • Uneven tone and texture
  • Skin laxity on small facial areas

Fraxel can also support long-term skin quality by promoting ongoing collagen renewal.

Add-On Enhancements for Advanced Results

StudioMD SoHo offers optional add-ons designed to boost skin repair, moisture, and radiance after Fraxel.
Popular enhancements include:

  • SkinCeuticals HA and B5 Gel for deep hydration and smoothing
  • Rejuran Salmon DNA for elasticity and regenerative support
  • Exosome Advanced Repair with growth factors for enhanced healing
  • PRFM Facial for intensifying collagen production

These add-ons can be discussed during your consultation to customize the perfect treatment plan.

What to Expect During Fraxel Treatment

Consultation and Assessment

Your appointment begins with a detailed evaluation of your tone, texture, and goals. Your provider will determine the appropriate settings and recommended treatment schedule.

Treatment Process

A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The Fraxel handpiece is then moved systematically across the skin, with each pulse delivering fractional energy into targeted tissue. Most patients feel a warm, prickling sensation during treatment.

Appointment Duration

A full-face Fraxel session typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes. Smaller areas take less time.

Recovery

Fraxel is designed to offer powerful resurfacing with manageable downtime. After treatment, you can expect:

  • Redness similar to a sunburn for one to three days
  • Mild swelling during the first twenty-four hours
  • Bronzing and light flaking during days three to five
  • Gradual return to normal skin within seven days

Heavy exercise, heat, and sun exposure should be avoided briefly. Gentle skincare and sunscreen are essential to support healing.


Results

You will see initial brightness and smoothness within one week. Collagen continues to rebuild for months, improving firmness and texture gradually. Most patients complete a series of three to five sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results.

Fraxel results can last for years with proper maintenance and sun protection.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.

“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
