Fraxel Laser
At Mayam Aesthetics, Fraxel® is a fractional laser resurfacing system designed to treat targeted skin concerns by delivering microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing.
Fraxel is built with two wavelengths that allow the treatment to be customised by depth:
- 1550 nm (deeper penetration into the dermis)
- 1927 nm (shallower penetration, targeting the epidermal layer)
How the Fraxel machine works (simple, accurate)
Fraxel uses microscopic laser columns to create fractional treatment zones. Because only a fraction of tissue is treated at a time, surrounding tissue remains intact, which Fraxel states supports rapid healing. The system is also described as stimulating the body’s remodelling processes, including collagen remodelling, as part of resurfacing.
Treatments and concerns Fraxel can address
Fraxel lists the 1550 nm wavelength for resurfacing indications including:
- Acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Dyschromia (uneven tone/discolouration)
- Periorbital wrinkles (wrinkles around the eyes) Fraxel’s professional materials also describe the 1550 nm wavelength as an infrared erbium fibre laser that can penetrate into the deeper dermis.
Why the two wavelengths matter (treatment planning logic)
Because Fraxel uses one wavelength designed to treat more superficial concerns and another capable of reaching deeper skin layers, the system is positioned as a flexible platform. It can be adapted depending on whether the priority is surface pigmentation and photodamage or deeper texture and scarring concerns.
Fraxel also notes that the depth of treatment is determined by pulse energy settings, allowing practitioners to adjust the intensity based on individual skin needs and treatment goals.
