Fraxel Isn't Just for the Face: Effective Anti-Aging Treatment Explained

As we age, wrinkles, sunspots, and uneven skin texture develop, If you’re seeking a solution beyond facial rejuvenation, Fraxel laser treatment offers powerful, non-invasive results for delicate, often-overlooked areas like the neck, chest, and hands.

Fraxel Laser: More Than a Facial Treatment

Fraxel isn’t just for the face—it’s a cutting-edge laser therapy that also rejuvenates aging skin on the neck, chest, and hands. These areas are especially prone to sun damage, fine lines, and age spots, yet they’re often neglected in skincare routines. The Fraxel laser restores a youthful glow by encouraging collagen production and skin renewal.

Fraxel is a fractional skin resurfacing laser that targets signs of aging, including:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Acne scars

It works by creating controlled micro-injuries, stimulating your body’s natural healing and collagen regeneration. This leads to firmer, smoother skin—without the need for invasive surgery.

With over 1.5 million Fraxel treatments performed globally and backed by 90+ clinical studies, it’s a proven choice for non-surgical anti-aging.

Fraxel for Neck, Chest, and Hands: Why It Works

These areas are frequently exposed to the sun but rarely treated with the same care as the face. Fraxel effectively:

• Reduces crepey skin on the neck
• Fades sun spots and pigmentation on the chest
• Smooths fine lines and rough texture on the hands

A 56-year-old patient shared that after just two sessions, she saw visible improvements in skin tone and firmness on her neck and chest—restoring her confidence.

Treats Multiple Skin Types and Tones

Unlike older laser technologies, Fraxel is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. With two precision wavelengths—1550nm for deeper damage and 1927nm for surface irregularities—Fraxel treatments are customized to individual concerns.

Visible Results: What to Expect

Patients often experience:

• Up to 50% improvement in skin texture after a full series
• 30–40% reduction in fine lines within 3 months
• Long-term benefits with maintenance and proper skincare

Recovery: What’s Different on Neck, Chest, and Hands?

Compared to the face, non-facial areas often recover more quickly due to:

• Lower sensitivity
• Less oil production
• Faster skin turnover in certain regions

Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, and tightness, typically resolving within 3–7 days. The built-in cooling systems in Fraxel devices help manage discomfort during treatment.

Essential Aftercare for Long-Lasting Results

Post-treatment care is crucial, especially for exposed areas:

• Avoid sun for at least 4 weeks post-procedure
• Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
• Use fragrance-free moisturizers with hyaluronic acid
• Skip active skincare ingredients like retinol for one week

Studies show that proper aftercare can improve satisfaction rates by up to 70%.

Am I a Good Candidate for Fraxel?

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have mild to moderate sun damage, wrinkles, or discoloration
• Are in generally good health
• Have realistic expectations and a commitment to follow-up care

Not suitable for:

• Active skin infections (eczema, psoriasis)
• Recent isotretinoin use
• History of keloid scarring (consult your dermatologist)

Consultation: Choose the Right Expert

Before beginning, schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist experienced in Fraxel for body areas. During this visit:

• Review your medical history and skin goals
• Receive a customized treatment plan
• View before-and-after photos of past patients

Questions to Ask:

• How many sessions will I need?
• What are the risks and side effects for my skin type?
• How can I maintain my results long-term?
