Top Skin Concerns Fraxel Restore Can Treat
Fraxel Restore is known for its versatility. Here are the conditions it treats most effectively.
- Sun Damage and Pigmentation
Sun damage is one of the most common reasons patients seek laser rejuvenation in Austin. Fraxel Restore helps address:
- Dark spots
ā¢ Uneven tone
ā¢ Freckles
ā¢ Blotchy pigmentation
By breaking up excess pigment and encouraging new skin cell turnover, the treatment creates a clearer, more balanced complexion.
- Fine Lines and Early Wrinkles
Fraxel Restore is well known for softening fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. The treatment boosts collagen production, which improves firmness and gives the skin a smoother, more refined appearance.
Patients who want improvement without aggressive resurfacing often prefer Fraxel Restore for this reason.
- Acne Scars
Fractional laser energy helps remodel scar tissue and smooth uneven texture. Fraxel Restore is especially effective for:
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
ā¢ Uneven skin surface
ā¢ Post-inflammatory discoloration
Most patients see gradual improvement over several months as collagen rebuilding continues.
- Melasma
Melasma can be stubborn and difficult to treat. Fraxel Restore offers a controlled and targeted approach that brightens patches of pigmentation without aggressive resurfacing. Many patients choose a series of treatments for best results, often combined with a personalized skincare plan.
- Surgical and Traumatic Scars
Fraxel Restore also improves the appearance of scars from past injuries or surgical procedures. By stimulating collagen and resurfacing damaged tissue, the treatment helps soften edges, smooth texture, and create a more blended appearance.
- Overall Skin Texture and Roughness
For patients who want general skin improvement rather than correction of a single concern, Fraxel Restore offers an excellent refresh. It improves dullness, roughness, and uneven tone, giving the skin a more vibrant and youthful look.
