Fractional Laser Resurfacing with Fraxel®
Reveal fresh, renewed skin — without surgery
At Dana Goldberg MD, we’re excited to introduce Fraxel®, the gold standard in fractional laser resurfacing for smoother, younger-looking skin. Fraxel works by targeting thousands of microscopic zones within the skin to stimulate collagen renewal and replace damaged cells with healthy, radiant tissue — all while leaving the surrounding skin intact for faster recovery.
What Is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that safely rejuvenates the skin’s tone, texture, and clarity. It’s ideal for patients who want significant improvement without the downtime of fully ablative lasers. By treating a “fraction” of the skin at a time, Fraxel triggers your body’s natural healing process to reveal brighter, tighter, and more even skin.
Benefits of Fraxel
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Softens acne scars and surgical scars
- Diminishes sun damage, brown spots, and melasma
- Smooths uneven texture and refines large pores
- Tightens and firms lax skin over time
- Improves overall skin radiance and youthfulness
Common Treatment Areas
Fraxel can safely treat multiple zones of the body where aging and sun exposure take their toll:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest / Décolletage
- Hands
- Shoulders
- Scars anywhere on the body
How It Works
Fraxel delivers precise microthermal zones of energy into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural repair process. As new collagen and elastin form, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more even-toned.
You’ll begin to notice visible results after your first session, with continued improvement over the following weeks as your skin regenerates from within.
Treatment Experience & Recovery
- Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes (depending on area)
- Comfort: Numbing cream is applied for a comfortable experience
- Downtime: 3–5 days of redness and mild flaking (“bronzed” effect)
- Results: Brighter, smoother, more youthful skin that continues to improve for months after treatment
Patients often describe the recovery as a “sunburn-like” feel for 24–48 hours, followed by light peeling that reveals fresh, luminous skin beneath.
For optimal results, most patients complete a series of 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Fraxel can also be used as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan, performed once or twice a year to sustain collagen production and radiance.
Who Is a Candidate?
Fraxel is safe for all skin types and tones, though treatment intensity and parameters are customized for each patient. It’s ideal for men and women looking to reverse early signs of aging, minimize pigmentation, and improve skin texture — without extensive downtime.
For ultimate rejuvenation, Fraxel can be combined with:
- Ultherapy Prime for tightening deeper layers of the skin
- IPL for pigment and redness correction
- Sculptra or PRP for collagen stimulation from within
- Medical-grade skincare for enhanced healing and results longevity
Pricing & Packages
Fraxel pricing varies by area treated and number of sessions. Packages of multiple sessions are available for added value. Financing options are available through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit.
