Fraxel in Hongdae – Resurface, Renew & Reveal Smoother, Younger Skin
Looking to dramatically improve skin texture, fine lines, and scarring with long-lasting results? Fraxel® laser is a powerful skin resurfacing treatment that stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover—revealing healthier, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. At our advanced skin clinic in Hongdae, we offer customized Fraxel treatments designed to target deep skin concerns with precision and care.
What Is Fraxel Laser?
Fraxel is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that creates thousands of microscopic thermal zones in the skin—treating damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin.
Fraxel is highly effective for treating:
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Melasma and uneven skin tone
- Actinic keratosis (precancerous sun damage)
- Stretch marks and skin laxity
It’s often considered the gold standard for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Why Choose Fraxel?
Key Benefits:
✅ Dramatically improves texture, tone, and clarity
✅ Stimulates collagen and skin renewal
✅ Reduces acne scarring and deep wrinkles
✅ Fades pigmentation, sun spots, and melasma
✅ Treats face, neck, chest, and hands
✅ Long-lasting results with a few sessions
✅ Customizable intensity based on skin condition and goals
Fraxel provides noticeable, lasting improvement with fewer side effects compared to traditional ablative lasers.
How Fraxel Works
Fraxel uses fractional laser technology, targeting a fraction of the skin at a time (similar to pixels in a photo). It delivers laser energy deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling, while the untreated skin between the laser zones speeds up healing.
There are two main types:
- Fraxel Re:store (non-ablative) – Targets deeper tissue with minimal downtime
- Fraxel Re:pair (ablative CO2) – More intensive resurfacing with deeper wrinkle and scar correction
We’ll recommend the appropriate setting for your skin’s needs and recovery preferences.
What to Expect During Treatment
Fraxel sessions take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Most patients describe a warm or prickling sensation during treatment.
Afterward, your skin may feel like a mild sunburn, with redness and swelling lasting 2 to 5 days. Peeling or flaking may occur as old skin sheds and new skin emerges. Sun protection is essential during the healing period.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a great candidate for Fraxel laser if:
- You have acne scars, wrinkles, or large pores
- You want to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity
- You’re concerned about melasma, sun damage, or aging skin
- You’re in good overall health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can commit to a short recovery period and sun protection
Fraxel is safe for many skin types and can be adjusted to treat lighter or deeper concerns.
How Long Do Results Last?
You’ll begin to notice smoother, brighter skin within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 6 months as collagen rebuilds. Most patients benefit from 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results can last 1 to 2 years or more with proper skincare and UV protection.
