What is Fraxel?

Fraxel Laser is a fractional resurfacing treatment that delivers laser energy in a fine, patterned grid, leaving surrounding tissue intact to support rapid healing while stimulating new collagen production. At All Saint Clinic Sydney, Fraxel is performed exclusively by our Aesthetic Doctors as part of a personalised treatment plan developed at consultation.

Fraxel is a well-regarded option for patients seeking visible improvement in skin texture, tone and pigmentation. Whether it is right for you will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals, which is why we always recommend a consultation with one of our Aesthetic Doctors before beginning treatment.

Fraxel is supported by an extensive body of clinical evidence for fractional laser resurfacing, with patients typically seeing improvement in texture, tone and pigmentation as new collagen forms over the weeks and months following treatment. As with any clinical treatment, individual responses vary, and results are best supported by an appropriate treatment plan and professional guidance.

Yes. Fraxel is a considered option for pigmentation and sun damage as well as texture concerns, working by stimulating the skin's natural renewal process within the treated areas. Your Aesthetic Doctor will assess your pigmentation concerns alongside your broader skin goals to determine whether Fraxel or another option, such as PicoWay, is most appropriate at consultation.

A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment to support comfort. Following treatment, redness, warmth, dryness and sensitivity are common as part of the skin's natural recovery process, with the extent and duration depending on the treatment settings used. Your Aesthetic Doctor will discuss what to expect based on your personalised plan at consultation.

The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, concerns and treatment goals. Some patients see visible improvement from a single session, while more pronounced concerns such as significant sun damage or scarring often benefit from a short series. Your Aesthetic Doctor will outline the most appropriate plan during your consultation at All Saint Clinic.

Fraxel costs at All Saint Clinic vary depending on the treatment area and your individual treatment plan. We recommend booking a consultation so our team can provide a clear, tailored recommendation and outline associated costs.

Fraxel's fractional approach makes it a considered option across a broad range of skin types. Individual suitability is always assessed during your consultation prior to treatment.

Immediately after treatment, the skin typically looks flushed or mildly swollen rather than visibly improved. If pigmentation is being treated, affected areas often darken before flaking away over the following days, revealing a more even tone. Texture improvements become noticeable within one to two weeks, with results continuing to develop over the following three to six months as new collagen is produced. Your Aesthetic Doctor can advise on a maintenance plan suited to your skin and goals at consultation.
