Style International Medical Skin and Laser Institute is proud to offer the amazing Fraxel laser treatment, now available in Orlando. This non-surgical treatment uses fractional technology to help revitalize the skin, targeting its deeper layers and stimulating collagen production for a radiant complexion.

Fraxel can be used to effectively address a range of skin issues, from fine lines and wrinkles to age spots, sun damage, acne scars, freckles, and even pre-cancerous lesions. Ideal candidates are those who have redness or broken capillaries, light acne scars, sun damage, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and vascular changes.

The Fraxel process begins when a topical numbing cream is applied to the area being treated. Once the cream has taken effect, a handheld device is used to deliver low levels of heat energy into the skin's deeper layers. The entire process takes about 30 minutes but may vary depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterward, it is recommended that patients apply sunscreen daily as well as avoid direct sunlight for up to two weeks after treatment.

According to Diane “It’s important that you protect your skin from sun exposure following any laser treatments because ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause further damage."

Most patients experience some redness or swelling immediately after their appointment but these effects should subside within 24 hours or less. Results may vary depending on individual cases but many people begin seeing noticeable results within one month following their treatment session and continue to improve over time with multiple sessions completed at 3-4 week intervals.

At Style International Medical Skin and Laser Institute we understand how important it is to look your best - Fraxel laser treatments give you that extra boost of confidence needed for every day life!
