Smoother Tighter & Younger Looking Skin

If you would like softer, smoother, tighter and younger-looking skin, one of the best non-invasive cosmetic procedures is laser treatment. But there is a drawback with the most powerful – and therefore most effective – lasers, and that is their associated side effects; that is, red, swollen and crusty peeling skin.

Thankfully, Fraxel laser offers fantastic results without such severe side effects – the Fraxel laser. The Fraxel laser (as opposed to other lasers with similar names, such as 'fraxelated' lasers) is an incredibly powerful machine that, thanks to its wavelength, can penetrate deep into the dermis (fraxelated lasers, for instance, only treat the superficial layer of the skin, making them far less effective). By targeting the deep layer of the dermis, the Fraxel laser stimulates special structural cells called fibroblasts, which are involved in the production of collagen. And as every beauty addict knows, the more collagen you produce, the better your skin looks.

'Scars, lines, open pores –all disappear with the Fraxel laser,' says Australian Skin Clinics' owner Deb Farnworth-Wood. 'It improves and tightens the whole skin. It's a fantastic machine.' Australian Skin Clinics in Ashmore, is one of only 3 clinics in Queensland that use a Fraxel laser. 'The Fraxel goes directly into the dermis and creates microscopic 'tunnels',' explains Deb. 'But you will preserve ¾ of the skin intact. Inside the 'tunnels' you get this fabulous new skin – and all without the side-effects of having a peel. After three treatments, you renew 65 to 75 per cent of your skin without any damage.' There are some possible side effects, though these are minimal, including some redness – like sunburn – and some minor swelling. Typically this lasts 1-3 days. After a week, you start to notice an improvement, with best results seen after three weeks once the collagen boost has taken effect.
