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 skin’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 body’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.

Aging gracefully, one spot at a time!

Did you know that our hands are often the first to reveal the signs of aging and sun damage?
We believe in preserving the natural beauty of your hands, and that’s why we’re excited to share this incredible transformation with you.

This remarkable transformation showcases the synergy of Fraxel and Pico treatments, a combination treatment designed with precision to address specific concerns.

The hands are often an ignored part of the body and one of the first areas to show a person’s age as they lose volume. 

We 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.

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.

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.

Fraxel will brighten skin, even tone, and boost collagen. Seize the moment, because fall is the best time to see the light.

By Erin Reimel @erin_reimel for @shape Shape Magazine.

As the weather cools, lasers at dermatologist offices are heating up. The main reason: This is an ideal time for a laser treatment. Right now, you’re less likely to get as much intense sun exposure, which is especially dangerous to skin post-procedure because of the skin’s temporarily weakened barrier, says Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in New York. Another potential factor? 

“When patients have more flexible work-from-home schedules, the downtime that comes with a laser treatment seems doable to more people,” Dr. Frank says. There’s one laser in particular that has earned its status as the office’s workhorse: Fraxel @fraxel_us . It’s so good at evening out tone, fading scars, shrinking pores, and plumping skin that dermatologists turn to it for most of their patients’ antiaging needs. In fact, many make sure to get an annual treatment for themselves. “It’s the only device I’ve seen in my career that can do a little bit of everything effectively,” Dr. Frank says. 

“Fraxel laser, is the top request when we start to see the leaves changing. I’d tell my patients to invest in a yearly Fraxel treatment over a slew of expensive antiaging products any day.”

Annual skin cancer screenings are essential, even for those without a family history. During a comprehensive screening, your dermatologist carefully examines your entire body for any suspicious moles or lesions. Detecting skin cancers early allows for simpler, more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes.

We also discuss how UV damage and sun exposure not only contribute to premature aging but are leading causes of non-melanoma skin cancers. Before proceeding with any laser or resurfacing treatment such as Fraxel, which effectively targets and removes sun damage, it is critical to ensure skin health and safety.

At PFRANKMD, we take every precaution. Before using a Fraxel laser, we thoroughly evaluate the skin to identify and biopsy any changing or suspicious lesions. This ensures both safe treatment and optimal aesthetic results, protecting your health while restoring your skin’s natural radiance.
