Candela Frax 1550nm laser treatment works by creating very small, very controlled islands of heat damage, surrounded by healthy normal skin. When the body repairs this controlled damage, collagen in the whole of the treated area is replaced, reducing those fine lines, and leaving the skin fresher.
At the same time, the surface of the skin is renewed, improving the pigment. Research has shown that a combination treatment using Candela narrowband light (Candela IPL) followed by the Frax 1550 produces an even better result with less treatments. And because the surface of the skin is left intact, you recover very quickly.
PRIOR TO TREATMENT, THE PATIENT SHOULD:
- Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure 30 days before hand
- Avoid perfumes, deodorants and other potential irritants in treatment area.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE

- Sun exposure should be avoided during the healing phase and a sunscreen of at least SPF 30-50 should be applied daily.
