Frax 1940

This laser is classed as a fractional laser, treating predetermined portions of skin
Frax 1940 is ideal for addressing pigment, dull skin, sun damage & wrinkles
This laser is non-ablative, meaning it has a quick healing time

Recovery ranges from 4 to 5 days
Most patients require 1-3 sessions, depending upon your expectations
Addition of retinoic acid directly after laser can improve clinical outcomes

What skin conditions can Frax 1940 laser treat?

Concept to understand: each laser wavelength plays a specific role. If a clinic has limited wavelengths & lasers, you may have a compromised treatment. The Frax 1940 laser is advertised as a multi-treatment platform that can address everything from melasma to wrinkles. My main indications are-

Pigment or dyschromia in lighter skin types 1-2.
Fine lines & wrinkles
Sun damage including sunspots & broken collagen (elastosis)
Mild skin laxity in lighter skin types

What condition can NOT be treated with Frax laser?

This laser is good for superficial skin conditions. It does not treat–

Melasma (other lasers do a much better job)
Skin laxity (mild cases can respond)
Volume loss (only fillers or fat transfer can do this)
Acne scars (different methods required)
Deep wrinkles (Co2 lasers are much better)
