Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director at You&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

“ My pores are enlarged and my skin looks rough,

what kind of procedure would be good? ”

“ I’m concerned about acne scars.

Would a Fraxel laser help? ”

If your skin texture feels rough, your pores look enlarged, or you are concerned about acne scars, you may want to consider various laser procedures.

The right procedure should be selected according to your skin condition, and simply receiving a strong laser does not necessarily lead to good results.

So I’m sure many of you are busy searching for information to figure out which type of laser procedure is right for you.

Today, I’d like to introduce a laser procedure called “Fotona Fraxel.”

포토나 프락셀 What is Fotona Fraxel?

Fotona Fraxel is a fractional laser that uses VSP technology, and it is a procedure that induces regeneration while creating microscopic thermal damage to the skin.

It helps promote collagen production, and you can expect overall improvements in skin elasticity and texture.

Fotona Fraxel can be helpful in three main areas.

First, it is used for pore and scar treatment.

The laser penetrates deep into the skin and can induce regeneration of damaged tissue.

When damage occurs in the skin, collagen remodeling takes place in the dermis to restore it.

Based on this principle, fine thermal damage is delivered densely across the skin.

Then, as collagen remodeling naturally progresses, you can expect pores and scars to gradually improve.

Second, it is used to improve red scars or pigmentation.

In cases of reddened scars or pigmentation, it may actually be difficult to patiently wait for improvement while repeatedly receiving laser toning.

In such cases, Fotona Fraxel can be used to carry out treatment more efficiently.

This is because the laser’s thermal energy helps break down melanin and evens out skin tone.

At the same time as pigment is reduced, it also stimulates elastic fibers in the skin, so you may also expect firmer skin.

Third, it improves skin texture and elasticity.

When fine thermal damage is created in the skin using the fractional method, new cells regenerate, which can help make the skin surface smoother and improve elasticity.

Compared with a standard Fraxel laser, recovery can be relatively faster, and there may be less concern about post-procedure redness, so it may interfere less with daily life.

A defining feature of Fotona Fraxel is that, compared with conventional Fraxel lasers, it allows for more precise customized treatment depending on skin depth, and can perform various functions such as pore reduction, scar improvement, and skin texture improvement.

Fotona Fraxel is fundamentally a procedure that induces skin regeneration.

That is why it can help with a variety of skin concerns.

Because it helps remove old scar tissue and support the creation of new skin during the regeneration process, it may be suitable even for deep or long-standing acne scars.

In particular, for deeply pitted acne scars, a higher intensity may be applied to encourage faster improvement.

(Of course, depending on an individual’s skin type, there are cases where a stronger setting cannot be used. It is important to minimize skin irritation as much as possible and maintain an appropriate intensity.)

In addition, the VSP technology of Fotona Fraxel acts precisely through the dermis and can contribute to shrinking pores and smoothing skin texture.

With continued treatment, you can expect the skin surface to become more refined and pore size to decrease.

It also helps promote the production of collagen and elastin, so it may be helpful for improving skin elasticity and fine lines as well.

It’s used in many different ways, isn’t it? However, there are naturally precautions to keep in mind as well.

First of all, for people with very sensitive skin, Fraxel procedures may not be suitable, so a thorough pre-procedure evaluation is essential.

You should consult with the medical staff to properly discuss whether this is a procedure that can help you sufficiently, or whether another procedure would be more appropriate.

And because this procedure works by inducing skin regeneration, post-procedure care is also very important.

No matter how well the procedure is performed, if self-care after the procedure is not done properly, you may not be able to expect enough change.

In severe cases, side effects such as pigmentation or skin irritation may occur.

So after Fraxel, it is best to avoid ultraviolet exposure as much as possible in order to protect the sensitized skin.

If you must go outside due to work or other unavoidable reasons, you should actively use a hat, mask, and sunglasses, and sunscreen is essential.

Also, as the skin recovers after the procedure, dryness may become more severe.

At this time, it is helpful to keep the skin well hydrated and use aloe gel, soothing cream, or a cooling moisturizing cream to help calm it.

Naturally, you should avoid scrubbing until all dead skin cells have shed naturally.

If you apply strong stimulation while the skin is in the middle of regeneration, the skin barrier may actually weaken.

That is why we recommend cleansing gently and avoiding scrubs for about one week if possible.

If your skin turns red and flakes off, you may worry, “Did something go wrong with my procedure?”

This is a normal phenomenon after Fotona Fraxel.

It is part of the process in which dead skin sheds and new skin regenerates.

So there is no need to worry too much; just wait until the flakes naturally come off on their own.

Do you understand a bit more about Fotona Fraxel now?

It is a procedure that can help with many different concerns, but please remember that a pre-procedure evaluation and consultation are essential to determine whether it is right for you.

Also, because the course after treatment can vary depending on the procedure method and intensity, it is important to find an experienced medical professional who can provide appropriate treatment tailored to your skin type.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end today.^^
