THE FRAXEL FTX® LASER TREATMENT CAN BE CUSTOMIZED JUST FOR YOU
ASK FOR FRAXEL FTX® BY NAMEFraxel FTX® has two wavelengths, one that is used for resurfacing at the epidermal layer of the skin and one that can go deeper into the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. The depth of treatment is determined by a pulse energy setting.
The Fraxel laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time. It leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which helps promote rapid healing.

WHAT TO EXPECT
First, your skin will be cleansed. Then, about 60 minutes prior to treatment, a topical anesthetic* ointment will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The Fraxel FTX® 1550/1927 procedure takes 20 to 25 minutes for a full face.** Most patients describe an increased sensation of heat during the treatment. In addition to topical anesthetic, cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure to minimize discomfort.
*At the discretion of the treating provider.**Appointment and treatment time may vary.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER
1ST TREATMENT
After a treatment, most patients feel like they have a sunburn which usually diminishes in 1 to 3 hours.
1 DAY AFTER 1ST
TREATMENT
Pruritus (itching) is a common side effect. Flakiness and dry crusting will gradually clear. Use of bland moisturizers and/or moisturizing sunscreens that have previously been shown to not cause irritation should help this condition. It is not uncommon for the patient to look a bit more erythematous (red) than they did immediately after treatment.
2 DAYS AFTER 1ST
TREATMENT
If you look carefully, you can see the individual laser “dots” on the skin surface. This contributed to the overall darkened appearance.
15 DAYS AFTER
1ST TREATMENT
Redness is resolved at this time. Patient may return to her normal skin care routine.
4 DAYS AFTER 1ST
TREATMENT
Peeling tends to start from center face, as observed here.
3 DAYS AFTER 1ST
TREATMENT
Peeling usually occurs day 3 – 4 after a face treatment. At this time, patient should refrain from picking or manually exfoliating the treated area to allow natural healing.
