Fraxel laser treatment for scars stimulates the formation of new collagen in the dermis and remodels the old collagen within the scar, progressively improving its appearance. It also regenerates the epidermis, which may be atrophic and depressed or raised. As a result, scars gradually become smoother and less noticeable. The scar can be reduced by up to 80%.

    Number of Fraxel laser sessions for scars

    For red post-acne marks caused by residual inflammation, we use 2–3 sessions, with one session every 3–4 weeks.

    Treatment for post-acne scars that are mild to moderate (and some severe cases) involves 3–5 sessions of Fraxel 1550 nm laser treatment.

    Aftercare recommendations

    We recommend the use of specific creams and nutritional supplements (collagen precursors and hyaluronic acid) to enhance and maintain the results achieved.

    Results

    The results build with each session and improvement increases progressively. In addition, once the course of treatment is complete, the skin continues to improve over the following 3–6 months as the newly activated cells continue to produce new collagen.

    What is Fraxel laser treatment for scars like?

    The treatment is personalised by selecting the laser parameters to target superficial, intermediate and deeper layers according to individual needs.

    The Fraxel Dual laser works fractionally, creating microscopic treatment columns in the skin (epidermis and dermis) while leaving the tissue between them intact. The tissue within these columns renews itself, producing new collagen and a healthier, better-nourished epidermis, supported by the surrounding healthy tissue that promotes this repair process.

    This is a natural process within the body, replacing damaged scar collagen with new, healthy and radiant skin.

Within a few days, scars may appear less noticeable and the skin can look smoother, softer, more radiant and more even in tone. Results build with each session, and the skin can continue to improve for a further 3–6 months as newly activated cells continue to produce new collagen.

    Expected treatment effects may include temporary redness and mild swelling in the treated area.
