Fraxel Repair CO2
What Is Fraxel Repair?
Fraxel Repair laser is an innovative approach to skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. This fractional CO2 laser treatment uses targeted beams of light to penetrate the skin deeply, stimulating collagen production and addressing a wide range of skin issues. Unlike traditional laser treatments, Fraxel Repair offers significant improvements with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking effective results without extended recovery periods.
How Does Fraxel Repair Work?
Fraxel Repair laser works by creating microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin, targeting damaged tissue while leaving surrounding areas untouched. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer skin with reduced wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues. It effectively treats deep lines, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin irregularities, making it a top choice for laser skin resurfacing in NYC.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for Fraxel Repair laser are individuals looking to address more severe skin imperfections, including deep wrinkles, pronounced scars, and significant sun damage. This Fraxel laser treatment is suitable for a variety of skin types and tones. It’s an excellent option for those who desire noticeable improvements in skin texture and appearance with minimal downtime compared to more invasive anti-aging treatments in NYC.

Recovery and Results
One of the key benefits of Fraxel Repair laser treatment is its relatively short recovery time. Patients may experience redness, swelling, and peeling immediately following the procedure, which typically subsides within a week. Makeup can be used to cover any temporary skin changes.

Fraxel Repair FAQs
Is Fraxel Repair Laser Painful?
Fraxel Repair is generally well-tolerated, especially with the use of a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
Is Fraxel Repair for All Types of Acne Scars?
Yes, Fraxel Repair is FDA-approved for the treatment of all types of acne scars. By resurfacing top layers to soften edges and collagen remodeling below the surface to raise depressions, Fraxel Repair can significantly improve:
Icepick Scars – Small, deep, and narrow scars that resemble tiny puncture marks. These often appear in clusters.
Boxcar Scars –Wider than icepick scars with moderate depressions with defined edges around the surface.
Rolling Scars –Broad, shallow depressions with a rolling or undulating texture.
Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars – These scars result from an overproduction of collagen during the wound healing process, leading to raised, thickened areas of skin. They typically occur in response to more severe acne lesions.

Is there an Ideal Time of Year to Undergo Fraxel Repair Laser Treatments?
Fraxel Repair laser can be performed year-round, but some patients prefer scheduling treatments during the fall or winter to minimize sun exposure during the healing phase.
Do I need someone to pick me up after my Fraxel Repair treatment?
Fraxel Repair is a deeper resurfacing procedure that may involve the use of local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. PFRANKMD offers private transportation to and from your appointment upon request to ensure your safety and ease.
What should I expect after Fraxel Repair?
After your treatment, you can expect several days of redness, swelling, and mild peeling as your skin regenerates. Our team will provide detailed post treatment instructions and ongoing support to help you recover smoothly and achieve optimal results.
How long is the Fraxel Repair recovery period?
Most patients experience about 5 to 7 days of visible downtime, during which the skin gradually heals and reveals a refreshed, renewed complexion. While initial redness may persist for up to two weeks, makeup can typically be worn after the first few days.
What kind of results can I expect?
Fraxel Repair works by creating controlled micro injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and resurface damaged tissue. Patients often notice smoother texture, improved tone, and reduction of fine lines, scars, and sun damage over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
When will I see results?
Most patients begin to see visible improvement within one to two weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen production increases and the skin remodels itself naturally.
