Fraxel Thulium

Fraxel Thulium laser treatments in New York at PFRANKMD by Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is a minimally invasive solution for a variety of skin conditions. The innovative technology is designed to target a wide range of skin imperfections, from fine lines and wrinkles to age spots, acne scars, and uneven texture.

What is Fraxel Thulium?

Fraxel Thulium is a specialized laser treatment designed to target superficial skin concerns with precision. It utilizes a 1927nm wavelength, known for its effectiveness in addressing pigmentation issues, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. This non-ablative laser penetrates the skinโ€™s outer layer, promoting skin renewal and leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. The result is a brighter, more even complexion with minimal downtime, making Fraxel Thulium an ideal option for those seeking a gentler yet effective approach to skin rejuvenation.

How Does Fraxel Thulium Work?

Fraxel Thulium Laser treatments harness your bodyโ€™s regenerative power for skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional laser therapies, the precise application of fractional lasers creates tiny micro columns below the surface. The non-invasive method results in a healing response of accelerated collagen and elastin production and damaged skin cell turnover.

Ideal Candidates

It is suitable for various skin types and tones, and Dr. Frank can determine if Fraxel Thulium aligns with your specific aesthetic goals during a consultation. Ideal candidates have mild to moderate concerns of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Improvement of acne scars is one of the benefits, but depending on the severity, another laser treatment may be more effective.

Benefits of Fraxel Thulium

  • Effectively reduces pigmentation and sun damage for clearer skin

  • Utilizes a 1927nm wavelength for precise, superficial skin treatment

  • Enhances skin tone and brightens the overall complexion

  • Promotes skin renewal with minimal recovery time required

  • Offers a gentle yet effective solution for skin rejuvenation

What to Expect During the Fraxel Thulium Procedure

Fraxel Thulium is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The laser handpiece is meticulously applied to the treatment area, delivering controlled thermal energy. Patients may experience a warming sensation during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated. The fractional technology targets specific zones of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

Recovery and Results

Fraxel Thulium offers minimal downtime of a couple of days during recovery. Patients can anticipate some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Makeup can be applied to conceal any temporary changes in skin appearance. Over the following weeks and months, as collagen production is stimulated, the skin becomes smoother, tighter, and more radiant, with continued improvements in texture and tone.
Discover how the versatile benefits of the Fraxel Thulium can turn back the hands of time for a vibrant, more youthful appearance. Dr. Frank and his professional team look forward to helping you achieve your beauty goals with expertly performed Fraxel Thulium laser treatments.

At the Complication Corner, I discuss a case featuring a patient who suffered second-degree burns with blisters from an IPL device at a med spa chain. Unlike controlled first-degree burns from properly administered laser treatments, this procedure was performed without healthcare professional supervision or medical oversight. 

I explain how proper wound care and follow-up helped achieve healing, though some pigmentation irregularity remains, which we plan to treat with non-ablative Pico lasers and Fraxel Thulium. 

This case highlights the serious risks of getting laser and light-based procedures done at med spas without appropriate medical supervision, as these are controlled burns that require professional expertise.
Fraxel is one of the most advanced laser technologies for treating stretch marksโ€”both new, red marks and older, faded ones.

โœจ How it works: Fraxel creates microscopic columns of controlled injury in the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the skin to remodel itself. This improves both the color and the texture of stretch marks, making them less visible over time.

๐Ÿ“… On average, it takes 3โ€“6 treatments for noticeable improvement, though the exact number depends on the depth, age, and type of stretch mark. Consistency is keyโ€”stretch marks that are older or deeper often require more sessions.

๐Ÿ“Š Results shown here are after 5 Fraxel treatments. Each patient is unique, and the best outcomes often come from a customized plan that may combine Fraxel with other cutting-edge technologies available at PFRANKMD.

At PFRANKMD, our team takes a science-backed approach to create personalized solutions that deliver long-term beauty and confidence.

The hands are often an ignored part of the body and one of the first areas to show a personโ€™s age as they lose volume. โ€จโ€จWe naturally lose collagen, elastin, and fat under the skin which creates a skeletal appearance. The hands are also among the most exposed areas of the body, making them especially prone to sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and texture changes.โ€จ
To treat aging hands, we use fillers to restore volume and lasers to improve sunspots and discoloration or a combination of both. Immediately after filler placement, tendons and veins are camouflaged and results can last up to one year. Fraxel is used to stimulate collagen and smooth texture, while targeted lasers remove pigmentation and reverse UV damage.โ€จ
Hand rejuvenation requires a global, multi-layer approach. Combining resurfacing, volume restoration, and pigment correction offers long-term improvement in tone, texture, and structural support. Treatments are minimally invasive with minimal downtime and deliver significant aesthetic enhancement.

At the end, weโ€™re sharing his real, unfiltered healing progression from Day 1 to Day 5 so you can see the expected downtime and how quickly the skin moves through early recovery.
