What is the Expected Level of Discomfort in Fraxel Treatments?

Despite so many beauty products and treatments it is difficult to stop the natural aging that takes away the youthfulness of our skin. Aging affects our skin’s texture and our appearance by giving an older look to our face and skin.
Fraxel treatment is one of the ways that has been proved to reverse the signs of aging and keep you youthful. The following article deals with a basic introduction about Fraxel treatment and its miraculous effects to curb aging signs.

Fraxel is a laser technology which can naturally slow down the aging process and give you back your youthful appearance.  Fraxel can treat lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damaged skin and even actinic keratosis effectively.
It has been approved by FDA to treat coagulated soft tissues, pigmented skin and even works on wrinkled skin. Fraxel helps to heal the skin fast and enhances the beauty of the face.
It cannot be used to treat face beauty but also can work upon neck, arms, hands and chest portions. The good thing is fraxel treatment work effectively on all skin types and even tanned skin.

How does the Fraxel Technology work?

Fraxel laser is an innovative technology that can reinvigorate the affected areas of the skin by boosting the collagen production of your skin. It can even clear off the age spots, dark spots and even the scars by penetrating deep into the dermis.
There are two types of fractional technology- fractional lasers and the CO2 laser systems.
For patients below 50 simple Fraxel treatment is recommended. But for patients with wrinkles and deep scars the fractioned CO2 lasers works more effectively. The CO2 system laser requires certainly takes more time than the simple Fraxel treatment. 
The erbium glass fractional lasers works best on following skin conditions:
  • Sun damaged, wrinkled , and aged skin
  • Some cases of melasma
  • Surgical scars
  • To reduce the fine lines near the eye region
  • Can improve skin tone

How to deal with pain during the treatment?

Well to be true, the fraxel treatment is indeed painful. People with a super sensitive skin are bound to experience pain during the treatment. Otherwise, the treatment involves mild to moderate levels of discomfort and pain.
And generally pain is an important factor for most people in deciding to get the treatment or not. But still there are ways to keep away from excess pain and have a comfortable fraxel laser session.  
Generally, a numbing cream is used to keep away the patient from excess of discomfort. Dr Numb is a topical anesthetic numbing cream which if applied to the part to be treated can really cut off excess pain. This can be applied one hour prior to the treatment and covered with a saran wrap. After an hour the body can be checked for the sensation and accordingly the treatment can be given.
Dr Numb’s cream is one of the safest numbing creams in the market which has no ill-effects on the health of the individual. It has even been approved by FDA for usage in dermatological treatments. It is used by tattoo artists, beauticians and even doctors to provide a painless treatment to their patients.
Dr Numb’s cream consists of lidocaine which numbs the skin for a long time.  For dual fraxel treatments where swelling lasts for a longer time, Dr numb’s cream can help in getting quick relief.
Dr numb’s cream can even be applied for relieving pain after the treatment.

How to decide if you need a Fraxel?

You should not decide for yourself whether you need a fraxel or not. It’s best to check with the doctor or aesthetician if your skin really needs fraxel laser treatment or there are alternative ways to treat it.
Fraxel laser treatment can work on all types of skin and give improved results. Mostly people with a highly damaged skin condition, excess of acne and unnatural skin texture go for Fraxel treatment.
And sometimes money and time can also be a deciding factor in going for fraxel or not.
Fraxel treatment is not receommnded for pregnant women, people with a cold sore. They should consult first before going for this.
