How Candela Frax Works

Candela Frax uses fractional laser technology to create precise micro treatment zones within the skin. These targeted areas stimulate the body’s natural renewal process while leaving surrounding skin intact, which supports healing and reduces overall downtime.

The laser energy is delivered in a controlled manner to address surface level and deeper skin concerns. Because the treatment is fractional, only a portion of the skin is treated during each session, allowing for effective resurfacing with predictable recovery.

What Candela Frax Treats

Candela Frax is commonly used to improve visible signs of skin aging and texture irregularities. It is a versatile option for individuals looking to refresh and refine their skin. This treatment can help with:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Uneven skin texture

  • Sun damage

  • Acne scars

  • Enlarged pores

  • Mild pigmentation concerns

  • Rough or dull skin tone

Candela Frax may also be used for ongoing skin maintenance or as part of a long term skin care plan to support continued improvement.

What to Expect During Treatment

A Candela Frax appointment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The skin is cleansed and prepared before the laser is applied in a controlled pattern across the targeted areas. Patients often describe the sensation as warm or mildly prickly, and comfort measures are used as needed.

There is minimal downtime associated with treatment, though temporary redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity may occur for several days. These effects are expected and usually resolve as the skin heals and renews.

When You Will See Results

Early improvements in skin texture and tone may be noticeable within one to two weeks following treatment. Continued improvement develops gradually over several weeks as the skin completes the renewal process.

Results from Candela Frax can last several months, depending on individual skin factors and lifestyle habits. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to help preserve results and support long term skin health.
