Treatment Details
Understanding Fraxel Treatment
Fraxel is a name derived from the word 'fractional,' referring to a technique that applies laser energy locally at microscopic intervals instead of to the entire skin surface.
This principle involves creating microscopic holes in the skin to apply artificial stimulation, thereby helping to activate the skin's natural regeneration process.
The method of inducing fractional damage can offer the advantage of promoting overall skin improvement while reducing the burden of recovery.
Comparing Ablative and Non-ablative Fraxel
Ablative Fraxel: This method microscopically removes the epidermal layer of the skin and delivers energy to the dermal-epidermal junction. This can directly help improve skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation, but may require a certain recovery period.
Non-ablative Fraxel: This method applies thermal stimulation to the dermal layer while keeping the epidermis intact. Recovery can be faster, but the results may vary among individuals.
The Pico Fraxel used at our clinic is a non-ablative laser.
Fraxel Delivery Methods: Comparing DOE and MLA
Fraxel's energy delivery methods are broadly divided into DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) and MLA (Microlens Array). The DOE method delivers laser energy uniformly across the entire treatment area, making it relatively stable to apply. However, due to limitations in output, the practitioner's skill can play a crucial role in scar improvement.
In contrast, the MLA method concentrates strong energy in the central part and applies weaker energy to the surrounding areas. This is generally more suitable for improving deep scars.
We treat patients with various skin conditions every day. Not only do individual skin conditions differ, but even the same person's skin condition can vary day by day.
During Fraxel treatment, we meticulously examine the skin condition on the day of treatment and precisely adjust the output and depth in 0.1 increments accordingly.
We strive to perform each treatment with greater accuracy and safety for our patients.
The completeness of Fraxel treatment stems not only from the equipment but also from the delicate expertise of the medical staff.
We will wholeheartedly provide treatment for the patients who trust us and visit our clinic.

Post-Treatment Precautions
- Refrain from washing your face and applying makeup on the day of the treatment; light cleansing is possible from the next day.
- Tip marks, redness, and pain in the treated area may persist for about 7 days, and cooling management using ice packs can be helpful.
- Since Fraxel is a laser peeling treatment, it is best to allow any peeling that occurs 3-4 days after treatment to naturally flake off.
- Until all dead skin cells have naturally fallen off, you should refrain from alcohol consumption, smoking, saunas, public baths, and swimming pool visits.
- The period from post-treatment to 1-2 weeks after exfoliation is a skin regeneration period, so continuous application of a regenerative ointment is recommended.
- Pay special attention to moisturizing care for skin soothing, and it is crucial to diligently apply sunscreen when going outdoors.

Q&A
고객님들이 가장 많이 물어보시는 내용을 모았습니다.
What level of discomfort can be expected during a fractional laser treatment?
Prior to the procedure, we apply an anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort. The pain during the procedure itself is not severe, but you may feel a sensation of warmth on your skin for about 1-2 days after the treatment.
How does the process of scabs forming and falling off progress after the procedure?
Generally, fine scabs begin to form 3-4 days after the procedure, and they start to naturally shed after about 1 week. While there can be individual differences, scabs usually fall off over 1-2 weeks. Due to the nature of laser treatments that induce skin regeneration, temporary redness may appear, which typically lasts for about 1-2 weeks.
How long does the redness that appears after the procedure typically last?
In most cases, redness subsides and skin recovers within 1-2 weeks after the procedure. However, skin regeneration may be delayed due to individual factors such as sensitive skin, dryness, or nutritional status, in which case redness may persist for a slightly longer period.
When can I wash my face or apply makeup after a fractional laser treatment?
It is recommended to refrain from washing your face or applying makeup on the day you receive fractional laser treatment. Generally, you can carefully start washing your face and applying basic makeup from the next day.
What are the recommended intervals and number of treatments?
Generally, it is recommended to receive 3 to 5 treatments at 4-week intervals. After that, considering additional treatments every 3-6 months can help maintain the improved condition.
When can I expect to see the results of the treatment?
Collagen regeneration can begin approximately 2-3 weeks after the procedure, and you may experience a feeling of increased skin elasticity after about one month. However, if your skin concerns are significant, you can expect more satisfactory changes with 3 or more treatments. Since there can be individual differences, it is advisable to consult with a specialist.
