Frax 1550+1940 Laser Resurfacing

Refresh and reclaim your skin with the Candela Frax 1550+1940 nm skin resurfacing laser. The FRAX 1550+1940 is a fractional non-ablative laser used to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. With dual capabilities for both shallow and deeper skin resurfacing. This laser is an effective treatment to help achieve youthful skin with a smooth texture and tone. It is also an effective treatment for wrinkles, scarring, and skin tightening.

 

How It Works

The Frax 1550+1940 rejuvenates the skin by delivering very small, controlled bursts of heat energy to the area being treated. This unique technology allows the pulse time and energy to be set independently to deliver controlled heat at the appropriate width and depth to meet individual skin issues.

This type of heat energy stimulates the production of collagen, which will resurface the skin over time. Since the laser is rolled across the skin, the treatment takes a shorter time and the surface of the skin is left intact to heal and recover quickly.

 

The Candela Frax 1550+1940 Treats:

• Fine lines + wrinkles

• Laxity / loose skin

• Improves texture

• Improves scars

• Firms + tones

• Reduces acne scars

• Improves sun damage

 

What to Expect

Prior to your Frax 1550+1940 procedure, you and your healthcare provider will discuss your treatment goals. Generally, the treatment itself takes anywhere from 15–45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Typically, you will be offered a course of 3 treatments; however, this will vary according to your needs and skin type. If you have a darker complexion, your provider may decide to offer a longer course of gentler treatments.

Medical grade facials are recommended between laser treatments for better results.

It is important to avoid tanning salons and self-tanning products before and during the treatment period, as well as reduce sun exposure during and after treatment for 30 days, or use sun protection (SPF 30 or higher).

You will achieve maximum results if you use a medical-grade moisturizing cream before and after treatment.

Be sure to let your provider know if you are prone to acne breakouts or cold sores.
