Can A Laser Really Transform Ageing Skin?
Ageing is inevitable—but looking aged doesn’t have to be. If fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation are making you feel older than you’d like, it might be time to consider the gold standard in skin rejuvenation: Fraxel laser resurfacing. At Cosmetic Image Clinics, we help clients achieve visibly younger, healthier skin with this advanced laser treatment.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Fraxel works, the types of laser resurfacing available, and why it’s the ultimate solution for ageing skin.
WHAT IS FRAXEL LASER RESURFACING?
Fraxel laser resurfacing is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment designed to address signs of ageing by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, Fraxel targets only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster recovery and impressive results.
This cutting-edge laser technology creates microscopic treatment zones, triggering collagen production and encouraging cell turnover—effectively replacing damaged skin with fresh, youthful-looking skin.
HOW DOES FRAXEL WORK?
Fraxel lasers deliver controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which kickstart the body’s natural repair process. As the treated areas heal, new collagen and elastin are produced, leading to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
The result? Reduced fine lines, softened wrinkles, improved texture, and diminished pigmentation.
TYPES OF LASER RESURFACING: CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR YOU
Not all laser resurfacing treatments are created equal. Here’s how Fraxel compares to other options:
Ablative Lasers (e.g., CO2 and Erbium lasers): Remove the top layer of skin for deep resurfacing but require longer downtime.
Non-Ablative Lasers (e.g., Fraxel Re:store DUAL): Work by heating tissue without removing skin, offering significant improvements with minimal downtime.
Fractional Lasers (e.g., Fraxel Re:pair): Treat only a fraction of the skin at a time, providing a balance between effectiveness and recovery.
Fraxel strikes the perfect balance, delivering noticeable results while ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life.
THE BENEFITS OF FRAXEL FOR AGEING SKIN
Fraxel resurfacing is particularly beneficial for ageing skin due to its ability to:
✅ Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles – By stimulating collagen, Fraxel smooths creases around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
✅ Even Out Skin Tone & Pigmentation – Targets sun spots, melasma, and age spots, revealing a brighter, more uniform complexion.
✅ Improve Skin Texture – Minimises the appearance of enlarged pores, rough patches, and mild acne scars.
✅ Tighten Skin – Boosts elasticity, helping to firm and rejuvenate sagging skin.
✅ Minimal Downtime – Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments, Fraxel allows for a quicker recovery while still delivering dramatic results.
