Fraxel Laser Treatments Calgary
Clearer skin, fewer scars, and smoother texture — results that last.
Real Results for Scars, Sun Damage & Aging — Fraxel Laser in Calgary
For patients who want visible skin renewal without the extended recovery of CO2 resurfacing, Fraxel laser delivers real results with less downtime.
Fraxel is a fractional laser treatment that improves skin texture, softens acne scars, reduces sun damage, and addresses early signs of aging.
Rather than treating the entire skin surface at once, Fraxel works by creating microscopic treatment columns across the skin — leaving surrounding tissue largely intact to support faster, more comfortable healing.
Because Fraxel is delivered as a series of treatments, results build gradually and naturally — and each treatment involves less downtime than ablative resurfacing.

How Fraxel Laser Works
Fraxel uses fractional laser technology to create thousands of microscopic treatment columns deep into the skin — targeting damaged tissue while leaving surrounding skin largely intact. This triggers your body's natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production to replace damaged cells with fresher, healthier skin.
Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, recovery is more manageable than ablative resurfacing — and results build progressively with each session as collagen continues to develop beneath the surface.
The Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative laser, meaning it resurfaces from within without removing the outer skin layer. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on their skin concerns and goals.
What Does Fraxel Laser Treat?
Fraxel was originally developed to treat acne scars — and it remains one of the most clinically effective options for exactly that. But its applications go well beyond scarring:
Acne scars & post-acne marks — depressed, rolling, and boxcar scars respond well to Fraxel's deep collagen remodelling
Surgical scars — significantly improves the appearance and texture of post-surgical scars
Fine lines & wrinkles — smooths and firms aging skin through collagen stimulation
Sun damage & age spots — removes damaged surface layers to reveal clearer, more even skin tone
Uneven skin texture — resurfaces and renews for visibly smoother results
General skin rejuvenation — a comprehensive skin reset for clients wanting meaningful overall improvement
Stretch marks — effective for both face and body
Note: If melasma or significant pigmentation is your primary concern, our team may recommend a different approach — melasma can be sensitive to heat-based treatments. We'll assess this carefully at your consultation.
Is Fraxel Laser Treatment Right For You?
Fraxel delivers its best results for clients with specific skin concerns that haven't responded to topical treatments or lighter procedures — and who can plan around some downtime after their session.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks you want significantly reduced
Are dealing with fine lines, sun damage, or uneven skin texture
Want visible, lasting improvement — not a subtle refresh
Are in good general health with realistic expectations about results and recovery
Can commit to strict sun protection and proper aftercare following treatment
Fraxel may not be suitable if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections, cold sores, or open wounds in the treatment area
Have a history of keloid scarring
Are on Accutane or have used it within the last 12 months
Have significant melasma or heat-sensitive pigmentation concerns — your technician will advise
Have deeper skin tones that require extra caution and individualized assessment

How many Fraxel sessions will I need?
Fraxel is typically done as a series — most clients need 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the concern being treated and the treatment settings. You may notice improvement after one session, but a single treatment usually won't deliver the full result most clients are looking for. Your laser technician will give you a realistic estimate during your free consultation based on your specific concern and skin type.
Is Fraxel laser treatment painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied 30–60 minutes before your session, which makes treatment well tolerated for most clients. During the procedure, most people describe a warm, prickling or stinging sensation. Some redness and sensitivity immediately after is normal and expected.
What is the downtime like?
For Fraxel Dual (non-ablative), expect 3–5 days of redness and mild swelling, with possible light peeling as the skin renews. Most clients are comfortable returning to normal activities within a week. Plan your schedule accordingly before booking.
How much does Fraxel laser treatment cost in Calgary?
Pricing depends on the area being treated and the number of sessions recommended. We don't believe in posting a number without seeing your skin — book your free consultation and we'll give you a transparent, accurate quote based on your individual treatment plan.
Can Fraxel be used on areas other than the face?
Yes — Fraxel can be used on the neck, chest, hands, and body. It's particularly helpful for stretch marks and surgical scars in areas where topical treatments may not produce much improvement.
How does Fraxel differ from CO2 laser resurfacing?
Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it improves the skin without removing the outer layer. CO2 laser resurfacing is ablative — it's more aggressive, creates a longer recovery period, and is often better suited to deeper wrinkles and more advanced scarring. Fraxel is often preferred by clients who want visible improvement with a more manageable downtime.
