Per body area
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fraxel is a fractional laser that resurfaces the skin at a precisely controlled depth, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones that trigger the body’s wound healing response, stimulate new collagen formation, and replace damaged skin with healthy, structurally renewed tissue. It is one of the most effective resurfacing tools available for pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, skin texture, and acne scarring.
At Reborne, we recommend combining Fraxel with Exosome Therapy. Exosomes applied post-treatment take advantage of the skin’s elevated permeability to penetrate directly to the target tissue layers - significantly accelerating healing, reducing downtime, and amplifying the regenerative response that Fraxel initiates.
The Technology
Fraxel Laser
Fraxel uses a fractional approach - treating thousands of microscopic columns of tissue while leaving the surrounding skin intact. This creates targeted zones of controlled injury that stimulate intense collagen production and cellular renewal, while the intact surrounding tissue accelerates healing. The fractional principle is what distinguishes modern laser resurfacing from older ablative technologies: meaningful results with manageable recovery.
Aesthetic Medicine
How the Procedure Works
A topical anaesthetic is applied for approximately 45 minutes before treatment. The Fraxel handpiece is passed across the treatment area in overlapping passes, delivering precise laser energy to thousands of microscopic treatment zones. The sensation is one of heat and a mild prickling - the anaesthetic significantly reduces discomfort throughout.
At Reborne, we recommend Fraxel combined with Exosome Therapy. The exosome solution is applied post-laser while the skin’s permeability is at its highest - delivering growth factors directly to the treated tissue layers. This reduces post-procedure inflammation, accelerates epithelial recovery, and enhances the quality of the final result.
Treatment Experience
What to Expect
Redness, swelling, and a sunburnt sensation for two to five days following treatment is normal and expected, depending on the intensity of the protocol. Bronzing and mild flaking as the treated skin renews typically occurs between days three and seven. Most clients are comfortable returning to social activities within five to seven days.
Improvements in skin quality, tone, and texture are often visible as soon as the initial healing is complete. Collagen remodelling continues for three to six months, with the full result - including significant improvements in fine lines, pigmentation, and skin quality - visible at three months. Sun protection is essential for a minimum of four weeks following treatment.
Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas
Fraxel is most commonly applied to the full face, but can also be used on the neck, décolletage, and hands where resurfacing is clinically appropriate.
Fraxel is one of the most effective treatments available for solar lentigines, uneven skin tone, and the cumulative pigmentary changes of sun exposure. The laser targets melanin-containing cells specifically, clearing pigmentation while stimulating structural collagen renewal simultaneously.
By triggering a deep and sustained collagen remodelling response, Fraxel produces meaningful improvements in fine lines, skin smoothness, and overall skin quality, particularly in the perioral and periorbital areas where surface treatments have limited reach.
Fraxel is clinically validated for atrophic acne scarring, resurfacing the tissue containing scar architecture and replacing it with new collagen. A course of treatments is typically required for optimal results, with each session producing progressive improvement.
Fraxel has a specific protocol for melasma, targeting superficial pigmentation while minimising the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Combined with appropriate topical preparation and post-treatment care, it is an effective option for clients with this complex pigmentary condition.
Aesthetic Medicine
Is Fraxel Right for Me?
Fraxel is most suited to clients with pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, acne scarring, or significant skin texture concerns. It produces results in these areas that radiofrequency devices and microneedling cannot fully replicate. It requires a short recovery period and a commitment to sun protection - clients must be willing to plan appropriately around treatment.
Every client undergoes a medical aesthetic consultation before treatment. Your clinician will assess your skin type, concerns, and treatment history to confirm Fraxel is appropriate and to select the right protocol for your specific goals.
