Typical downtime is 2-4 weeks. Swelling associated with laser treatments usually disappear in 1-2 weeks. The total healing process can take up to 6 months.
How does Fraxel re:pair work?
Fraxel re:pair uses a patented fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Through fractional technology, thousands of microscopic laser columns penetrate deep into the skin to remove old and damaged skin cells, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Your body’s own natural healing process is stimulated, which replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
How many treatments will I need?
The Fraxel re:pair is designed to address specific skin concerns in a single treatment. Please consult Dr Hollenbach to discuss your skin concerns and whether Fraxel re:pair is suitable for you.
