5/5 STARS

I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had such an awesome experience for my first visit and I am referring everyone I know to this office. From the super friendly staff to the state of the art procedures, they are the cream of the crop.

The office and staff are so nice and really make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. I really feel welcomed there and heard!

Having laser treatment and fillers was such a positive experience for me. The staff were incredibly caring, which made me feel at ease throughout the process. And the results were fantastic – I’m really happy with how my face looks now.

At 63 years old my skin has never looked better and it seems to keep improving.

The results were better than I could have imagined. I have a very natural look and my skin is amazing. My nose was especially sun damaged and now it’s like a brand new nose.

Fraxel FTX — Building on Excellence

Building on the legacy of the Fraxel Restore Dual and Fraxel Re:pair technology, Fraxel FTX™ takes fractional laser resurfacing to the next level. This advanced system features enhancements designed to deliver noticeable results after a single treatment session across all skin types.

See Results in Just One Treatment

Fraxel FTX is designed to deliver impressive improvements in skin tone, texture, and pigmentation concerns in just one treatment. The system stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fibers, delivering a radiant, younger-looking appearance that continues to improve over time.

Customizable for Your Unique Needs

The Fraxel FTX laser treatment can be customized just for you with 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. The depth of treatment is determined by a variety of factors including wavelength and pulse energy setting, allowing our dermatologists to precisely target your specific concerns.

Minimally Invasive with Less Downtime

The fractional laser technology treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote rapid healing. This approach means you’ll experience less downtime while still achieving dramatic improvements in your skin’s appearance.

Enhanced Comfort During Treatment

Your comfort is a priority during Fraxel FTX treatments. We apply a topical anesthetic before the procedure and use cooling techniques during treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe only a sensation of increased heat during the procedure.

Versatile Treatment Areas

Fraxel FTX can effectively treat multiple areas, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas affected by sun damage, scarring, or pigmentation issues. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Why You’ll Love Us

Innovative Single-Treatment Technology

Fraxel FTX delivers powerful skin rejuvenation in just one treatment session. This advanced system stimulates hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production and new skin cell growth to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously, making it an efficient solution for busy patients seeking noticeable improvements with minimal time investment.

Advanced Dual Wavelength Precision

The Fraxel FTX system features two specialized wavelengths that target different layers of your skin for comprehensive rejuvenation. One wavelength works on the skin’s surface to reduce pigmentation issues like sun spots and freckles, while the second wavelength penetrates deeper to address fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring.

Customizable to Your Unique Concerns

Every patient’s skin is unique, which is why Fraxel FTX treatments are fully customizable. Our dermatologists adjust wavelengths and energy settings to specifically target your concerns—whether that’s sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven texture. This personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment for your specific skin needs.

Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results

Unlike more aggressive laser treatments that can require extended recovery periods, Fraxel FTX’s fractional technology leaves surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing. Most patients experience only mild redness and swelling that typically subsides within hours, allowing you to return to normal activities with minimal interruption.

Safe for All Skin Types

Fraxel FTX is designed to safely and effectively treat all skin types. The system’s refined energy delivery minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur with other laser treatments, making it an excellent option for patients with darker skin tones who may not be candidates for more aggressive procedures.

Comprehensive Skin Improvement

Rather than addressing just one skin concern, Fraxel FTX provides comprehensive improvement by targeting multiple issues in a single treatment. Patients enjoy smoother texture, more even tone, reduced pigmentation, minimized fine lines, and an overall more youthful appearance—all from one advanced procedure.

FAQ

How does the Fraxel FTX treatment work?

Fraxel FTX uses patented fractional laser technology to create tens of thousands of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to form new collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastic fibers, and healthy skin cells. The dual wavelength system allows for customized treatment of both surface-level concerns, like pigmentation, and deeper issues, like fine lines and scarring. Because the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time while leaving surrounding skin intact, healing time is significantly reduced compared to traditional laser resurfacing.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one treatment, though your dermatologist may recommend a series of treatments depending on your specific skin concerns and goals. Results continue to improve for several months after treatment as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production increases.

Is Fraxel FTX safe for all skin types?

Yes, Fraxel FTX is designed to safely treat all skin types. During your consultation, your dermatologist will assess your skin and customize treatment settings specifically for your skin type and concerns.

How long is the recovery period?

After treatment, most patients experience redness similar to a sunburn, which typically diminishes within 1-3 hours. Some flaking or bronzing of the skin may occur in the days following treatment. Most patients return to normal activities almost immediately after treatment.

How long do results last?

Results can last for years with proper skin care and sun protection. However, as skin continues to age naturally, maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve your results.

Can I combine Fraxel FTX with other treatments?

Yes, many patients benefit from combining Fraxel FTX with other treatments such as fillers, biostimulatory agents like Scupltra and Radiesse, as well as neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Daxify, and a variety of topical anti-oxidant and growth factor products, all available at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology. Your dermatologist will create a comprehensive treatment plan that may include complementary procedures to enhance your results.
