Skin Texture After Fraxel Restore?
asked 2 years ago by Anoni Mus in Australia

I have heard that skin texture of non-damaged skin becomes rougher after Fraxel? I know Fraxel is supposed to smoothen the skin but is this correct? The skin may look like it has tiny needle pricks in the skin. Has anyone had this outcome?

Skin texture changes after Fraxel
Skin texture improves following Fraxel. For several days there is a roughened slight sandpapery feel as the micro-columns shed their "cap" but overall the skin tends to rapidly smooth out.
Any needle prick appearance is unlikely unless you are viewing the skin through magnification. The small treated miro-columns close almost immediately and within a week it would hard to see anything even with a magnifying mirror.
New cell growth and collagen improvement make the skin smoother....
