Frax PRO Laser FAQ
What is the difference between Frax PRO and Fraxel laser?
Frax PRO and Fraxel laser are both advanced fractional laser skin resurfacing technologies used to improve tone, texture, and scarring. Frax PRO offers more customizable settings and enhanced comfort, making it ideal for a wider range of skin tones, including sensitive and richly pigmented skin. Patients often choose Frax PRO for similar results with a more refined recovery experience.
Is Frax PRO a good alternative to Clear + Brilliant or CO₂ laser?
Yes. Frax PRO is a versatile laser skin treatment that bridges the gap between the gentle touch of Clear + Brilliant and the aggressive depth of a CO₂ laser. It delivers more visible skin improvement than Clear + Brilliant while requiring significantly less downtime than CO₂, making it a top choice for patients looking for powerful results without extended recovery.
Is the Frax PRO laser treatment safe for Asian skin and skin of color?
Absolutely. Frax PRO is considered one of the safest laser facial treatments for Asian skin and skin of color, thanks to its precise fractional delivery and customizable energy levels. Dr. Wu’s expertise in treating all skin tones ensures that each treatment is carefully adjusted for safety and effectiveness.
Can Frax PRO be combined with other laser or skin treatments?
Yes. Frax PRO is often used alongside other laser treatments such as Thermage FLX for skin tightening, Potenza RF Microneedling for collagen remodeling, and injectable options like Sculptra. These combination treatments offer a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation and long-term skin health.
How long do Frax PRO laser results last?
Results from this laser skin treatment develop gradually over several weeks and can last for months or longer. Continued improvement is seen as collagen production increases. To maintain results, patients are often recommended a personalized skincare routine and occasional maintenance sessions.
How many Frax PRO treatments are needed for best results?
While some patients see visible improvements after a single session, most benefit from a series of 2–3 fractional laser treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your ideal treatment plan will depend on your skin concerns, goals, and how your skin responds.
What should I expect after a Frax PRO laser facial treatment?
After your laser facial treatment, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild flaking. These effects typically resolve in a few days. Most patients resume normal activities quickly and notice smoother, brighter skin within weeks.
