Why Do Doctors Suggest Fraxel Restore at 4-6 Week Intervals when It Takes Months to See/judge Results from a Session?

Thank you for your question. Rarely does one session do everything that is needed.  When sessions are spaced that close, the energy levels are  lower and less socially disruptive.  There are many ways to improve skin quality. Be sure to see a Board Certified Dermatologist or Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to provide this service. I hope this helps!

Studies have shown that at least 3 Fraxel restore treatments are necessary to produce significant new collagen formation.  You must wait at least 4 weeks between sessions for both safety and efficacy.  After 3 sessions you can wait a few months to see if more sessions are needed.

We know from experience that Fraxel will only be effective with multiple (4-5) treatments. Four to six weeks gives the skin adequate time to recover and allows you the continue the process of new collagen formation.
