Fraxel Laser Treatments in Glenwood Springs, CO
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fraxel treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, which promotes rapid healing. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old and damaged cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
Results
The results are both immediate and progressive. Soon after the treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer and smoother, look brighter and show a more even tone. The next 3 to 6 months will bring more improvement as the deeper layers of the skin continue to create new collagen. Results are long lasting depending on your lifestyle, age, skin condition and skin care regimen.

Treatment Modes
The Fraxel Dual Laser has the unique advantage of two treatment modes:

- 1927: effectively targets tone, texture and other more superficial signs of aging.
The treatment will be tailored to your desired outcomes and can even be combined so that you receive the added benefits of both a superficial and deep laser treatment, both on and off the face.

Fraxel Laser FAQs
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ?
Desired outcomes are typically reached in multiple treatments. The specific number of treatments is tailored to your goals and desired results as well as your lifestyle. We will work with you to identify the appropriate level of treatment and your preferred downtime.
After Treatment Expectations
Depending on the level of the treatment, you may experience redness or swelling after the procedure which diminishes as quickly as the next day or over the next several days. Your skin will naturally bronze over the next week or two. As you continue with the treatment sessions, the sunburned-to-bronzed appearance will repeat after each treatment. As with a sunburn, your skin will flake and exfoliate normally, revealing fresher, glowing, and smoother looking and feeling skin.
Is It Safe?
Fraxel treatment is a safe option backed by extensive research. Of course, as with any laser procedure there’s always some risk* and/ or downtime. You should discuss this with your clinician prior to treatment.
