The Fraxel laser and Fractionated Erbium:YAG laser are manufactured by two different companies. While both deliver fractionated thermal energy to the skin, Fraxel is a CO2 laser while Fractionated Erbium:YAG is an erbium:YAG laser. Fractionated Erbium:YAG also penetrates the skin at a deeper layer than Fraxel, therefore it can resolve more severe complexion issues.

The Fractionated Erbium:YAG laser creates microscopic “channels” in your skin.  This triggers the wound healing response and stimulates fibroblast activity, which in turn leads to the production of new collagen and elastin.  As we age, we lose about 1% of the collagen in our skin per year.  Stimulation of new collagen production is the key to reversing the signs of skin aging.

Results can be seen within a few weeks of your treatment. The quality of your skin will continue to gradually improve for 6 months following your treatment as new collagen and elastin are produced.

After your Fractionated Erbium:YAG treatment, most patients experience a “sunburn”-like sensation. There is often redness and some pinpoint bleeding. Your dermatologist will have specific recovery instructions for you, including strict avoidance of sun exposure.

Once your consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists is complete, your Fractionated Erbium:YAG session will be scheduled. For most patients, these sessions will last somewhere between 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated.
