Why Fraxel is winter’s most effective treatment

Posted on 16 July, 2019

Fraxel. You’ve probably heard the word before but maybe weren’t sure whether it was a German automobile or a challenge on Masterchef.

Well, it’s neither. Fraxel® is actually one of the world’s most powerful skin treatments and it’s available right here in Canberra.

A non-ablative fractionated laser, Fraxel® might sound scary, but the only thing that will shock you is the results it achieves.

Perfect for combatting the effects of sun damage, dull skin tone, irregular texture, scarring and pigmentation, Fraxel® is able to renew skin like no other treatment across the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs and back.

After your skin has been numbed, Fraxel® is used to penetrate the top layers of your skin via hundreds of thousands of microscopic columns that stimulate the production of collagen and new skin cells.

This process of regeneration allows skin to smooth wrinkles and scars, clear pigmentation and pave the way for smoother, clearer skin, no matter your age.

Here’s why the cooler months are the perfect time to book a Fraxel® consultation at Artisan Clinics.

THE RIGHT TIME FOR DOWNTIME

As you might expect from a treatment that achieves such significant results, Fraxel® has a small period of downtime associated with it, as well as some strict post-care guidelines, which make it an ideal treatment for winter.

This includes no sun exposure for two-to-four weeks and SPF50 to be worn at all times. The after-effects of Fraxel® are similar to a mild sunburn, which is much more comfortable to take care of when you’re not trying to escape the heat of summer and can easily control the temperature in your home.

You can also expect some puffiness and redness to stick around for a few days and, as winter social calendars are usually more low key, it’s a great time to have some quiet time at home—or host your friends at yours while the short healing process takes its course.

CLEAR THE SLATE BEFORE SUMMER

While the effects of Fraxel® can be seen immediately post-treatment, optimum results actually appear two-to-three months after your first treatment.

Moreover, because it’s recommended that you have up to three Fraxel® treatments spaced four-to-eight weeks apart to achieve the best results, if you start now, you’ll be able to complete your treatment plan before the warmer months (and summer social schedule) kick in.
