Fraxel® Laser

Treat skin pigmentation, fine lines and improve skin texture as well as other conditions with Fraxel® is an industry leading laser treatment which provides highly effective skin resurfacing. Fraxel® features two lasers on different wavelengths, one which treats the skin superficially for pigmentation and general tone, and the other for deep resurfacing which targets wrinkles and acne scarring.

What problems can Fraxel® treat?

What happens during Fraxel® laser treatment?

During an initial consultation with Emma, she will discuss a treatment plan with you, and decide on the best course of action for your skin condition.

The skin is then prepared with a topical anaesthetic, and you will be provided with eye protection to wear for the duration of the treatment.

The laser is then applied in short bursts.

After the treatment, the skin will gradually peel away over several days. Once the peeling is complete, healthy skin underneath will be revealed.

After Fraxel® treatment you should care for your skin, Emma will provide extensive aftercare advice to maximise the benefits from your treatment.
