1. What Is FRAX PRO®?
FRAX PRO® is a next-generation fractional laser platform that delivers controlled thermal energy into the skin while preserving the surface layer. Instead of removing the epidermis, FRAX PRO® creates microscopic thermal treatment zones that stimulate collagen remodeling, cellular renewal, and pigment correction from within.
This approach allows progressive, natural-looking improvement with a lower risk of prolonged downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking advanced results with refined recovery.
2- How Does FRAX PRO® Work?
FRAX PRO® uses fractional photothermolysis, delivering laser energy in a precise pattern to create microthermal zones (MTZs) in the skin.
These MTZs:
- Stimulate new collagen production
- Improve skin texture and elasticity
- Reduce acne scars and enlarged pores
- Break down pigment irregularities
- Enhance overall skin clarity and luminosity
Surrounding healthy tissue accelerates healing, ensuring controlled recovery and optimized outcomes.
3- Dual-Wavelength Technology: Why FRAX PRO® Is Different
1550 nm Fractional Laser
Targets the mid-to-deep dermis, ideal for:
- Acne scars
- Textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
1927 nm Thulium Laser
Targets the superficial layers, ideal for:
- Sun damage
- Uneven pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Skin dullness and tone irregularities
This dual-depth precision allows Dr Yassine to fully personalize each protocol according to skin type and concern.
