Fraxel re:store
The Fraxel re:store laser is a safe, non-ablative laser skin treatment with two treatment modes.
This laser has two separate wavelengths that effectively target both the surface and the deeper skin layers. The 1927 wavelength achieves gentle resurfacing, with downtime of 3 – 5 days. The 1550 wavelength is a deeper treatment, with a shorter downtime of 2 – 3 days. Fraxel re:store supports skin tones, texture and pigmentation, and reduces the appearance of scars.
How does Fraxel re:store Laser Work?
Fraxel re:store laser uses patented technology to target skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate into the skin. There are two laser treatment modes. One delivers microscopic laser columns deep into the skin and the second delivers it to the superficial skin layers.
The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing. This stimulates your body’s own healing process, replacing targeted cells.

What are the risks and side effects of a Fraxel re:store treatment?
At Prèface Cosmetic we ensure patients have met the necessary criteria for recommended treatments and procedures. It’s important to be aware of the risks associated with Laser treatments in order to make an informed decision. Results from our treatments and procedures vary patient to patient according to factors including genetics, age, diet and exercise.
Potential side effects of Fraxel re:store:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching
- Pain
- Acne
- Infection
- Changes in skin colour
- Inducing Skin Cancer Formation
Most patients describe an increased sensation of heat during the treatment. To minimise discomfort, topical anaesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure.
After the treatment, most patients feel like they have a sunburn, which usually diminishes in 1 to 3 hours.
What is the difference between the 1927 and 1550 wavelengths?
The 1927 wavelength achieves gentle skin resurfacing, addressing general skin damage and pigmentation. The 1550 wavelength is a deeper penetrating treatment that addresses fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, skin tone and texture.
How many Fraxel re:store 1550/1927 treatments will I need?
Fraxel re:store requires 3 -4 treatments using a combination of both 1927 and 1550, this is a cost effective alternative to the more aggressive Fraxel re:pair resurfacing laser.
What will I look like after the procedure?
Each patient’s skin will react differently, depending on your tailored treatment settings, you may appear pink or red for 1-3 days. Your skin will naturally bronze over the next week or two. As you continue treatment, the sunburned-to-bronzed appearance will repeat after each treatment. As with sunburn, your skin will flake and exfoliate normally. Use a moisturiser to reduce the appearance of dry flakes as instructed.
Is Fraxel re:store laser painful?
The Fraxel re:store laser is considered a less intensive alternative to the Fraxel re:pair laser. To minimise discomfort we apply a topical anaesthesia before the treatment. During the treatment you may feel a heating sensation on the skin. Post-treatment it may feel like you have a moderate sunburn, this sensation generally passes in the first 24 hours.
