AM I A CANDIDATE?
AM I A CANDIDATE?
A candidate for a Candela Nordlys Frax laser treatment at Amy Aesthetics and Wellness in Ashburn, Virginia, is someone looking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Ideal candidates include individuals seeking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, or forehead. Those with sun damage, such as sunspots or hyperpigmentation, can benefit from Frax’s ability to even out skin tone. Additionally, people with acne scars, surgical scars, or other textural irregularities make excellent candidates.
Frax is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is necessary to determine individual suitability. Candidates should be in good health with realistic expectations and no active skin infections.
Although Frax is versatile, certain conditions—like darker skin tones, pregnancy, or active skin concerns—may require alternative treatments.
What to Expect
Consultation and Preparation:
Before the treatment, your provider will assess your skin concerns and determine
if Fraxel is right for you. On the day of treatment, your skin will be thoroughly
cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort.
Treatment Process:
Once numb, the Frax laser device will be passed over the targeted areas of your
skin. You may feel a sensation similar to prickling or heat, but most people find
it tolerable due to the numbing cream.
Duration:
The treatment usually lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and
number of areas being treated.
Post-Treatment:
After the session, your skin may appear red, swollen, and feel warm, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days, though some flaking or peeling might occur as your skin heals.
Recovery:
Frax is non-invasive, so downtime is minimal. However, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow your provider’s post-care instructions, including moisturizing and using sunscreen.
Results:
Over the next several weeks, as collagen production increases and your skin heals, you’ll begin to see improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
