How long does it take to recover from Fraxel laser?

How long does it take to recover from Fraxel laser? Fraxel is at the forefront of fractional laser skin resurfacing- the first in the industry with a decade of proven safety and clinical outcomes. Fraxel laser resurfacing is almost a house hold name for skin rejuvenation. The question is- how long does it take to recover from Fraxel fractional skin resurfacing. To understand recovery rate, one has to understand the family of Fraxel lasers. Fraxel comes in 3 wavelengths and each is tailored to a treating a particular skin condition. Each Fraxel wavelength will have a specific recover time associated with the treatment. Skin recovery following Fraxel is dependent on several factors including 1. Fraxel wavelength 2. Power and passes 3. Individual immune factors 4. The aim of fractional laser resurfacing 5. Location of fractional resurfacing Firstly- let us consider the wavelength of fractional lasers. Fractional lasers come in many wavelengths, including Scition HALO, Profractional , Pixel, Portrait, Starlux platforms, as well as Fraxel laser. Fraxel has 2 types of wavelengths- the 1927, the 1550 ( Fraxel Restore) and the most powerful of them all the CO2 or Fraxel Re:Pair. In order of recovery, Fraxel 1927 and 1550 is the quickest, ranging from 2 days to 7 days. This is because this form for laser skin rejuvenation is called non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing. CO2 Fraxel laser takes the longest to recover, namely 4- 9 days, with redness persisting for up to a few mo
