There’s no particular age at which you start benefitting from Fraxel. As soon as your wrinkles start to develop, or your skin sags or loses volume or elasticity, laser therapy can help. The great thing about lasers is that they not only improve the surface of your skin, they stimulate it to produce strengthening collagen and elastin, which makes it thicker and more resilient — like younger skin. I usually recommend touch-up Fraxel treatments every year or two. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with Fraxel.

Fraxel restore laser is my favorite laser for anti-aging.  Any age that is starting to show signs of sun-damage, such as fine lines, texture problems and/or enlarged pores will benefit.  I personally have on e every year for maintenance, since my early 40's.

Fraxel or Co2 are best for resurfacing and can be used at any age. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp, Sculptra, peels and rf treatments for more robust outcomes for facial rejuvenation. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

I personally recommend starting in the early 3Os treatments with energy-based devices like Clear and Brilliant to prevent aging. Along with a great sunscreen and skincare regime, minimal spaced out treatments should be enough to keep you from manifesting aging early. Of course if your lifestyle includes excess exposure to UV and parameters that aggravate aging, you may need more aggressive anti-aging treatment. They are several non-invasive procedures, from lasers to ultrasound, radiofrequency, and fillers/botox/non-invasive thread lifts there is a surplus of solutions to reverse the signs of aging. While Fraxel was the gold standard for years, there are new lasers like the Enlighten that can have no downtime and rejuvenate the face in 1-2 treatments.
