Features of Erbium YAG Fraxel
Utilizing Erbium YAG instead of CO2:
CO2 lasers penetrate deeply but carry a high risk of thermal damage and potential pigmentation issues.
Erbium YAG is a Fraxel device that precisely delivers energy from the epidermis to the dermal-epidermal junction while minimizing unnecessary thermal damage.
Customized Parameter Adjustment based on Skin Condition:
The treatment depth and intensity are delicately adjusted to suit each individual's skin characteristics.
Treatment burden is reduced through meticulous adjustments, such as applying low-power, multiple passes to thin skin areas and single high-power application to thicker skin.
Application of Overlap Technique:
The laser is applied with overlapping passes to areas requiring improvement, such as fine lines, scars, and pores, precisely adjusting the treatment intensity.
Improvement of fine lines on the back of hands, neck, etc.: Even body areas where conventional treatments are difficult can be treated with separate settings considering skin regeneration rate and sebaceous gland density. Thus, treatments for areas requiring a delicate approach are possible.
Synergistic Effects with Skin Booster Delivery Technique:
We utilize the temporary micro-channels that open in the skin immediately after Fraxel treatment.
A protocol of applying skin boosters after Fraxel has been planned to ensure active ingredients are delivered to the dermis.
Considering the depth of scars and differences in skin thickness in the target area, the number of overlaps and intensity are customized to secure absorption pathways down to the dermal-epidermal junction.
When combined with small-particle skin booster treatments like PDRN and Juvelook, active ingredients can be absorbed into the dermis, which is crucial for regeneration. This can lead to synergistic improvements in pores, fine lines, and acne scars.
What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a name derived from 'fractional,' referring to a method of applying laser treatment partially, with tiny gaps, rather than stimulating the entire skin surface.
It creates tiny, dot-like holes in the skin, and this stimulation helps to trigger the skin's natural regeneration process.
This method of inducing partial damage has the advantage of reducing recovery time while still allowing for overall improvement in skin condition.
Difference Between Ablative and Non-Ablative Fraxel
Ablative Fraxel: It microscopically removes the epidermis and delivers energy down to the dermal junction, aiding in the improvement of skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation. A certain period of recovery may be required after the procedure.
Non-Ablative Fraxel: This method preserves the epidermal layer while applying thermal stimulation to the dermis, resulting in faster recovery but potentially more limited effects.
Erbium YAG Fraxel is an ablative laser.
Principle of Erbium YAG Fraxel
Erbium YAG Fraxel is a type of ablative laser that specifically utilizes a 2940nm wavelength, which shows a high affinity for water.
This wavelength can precisely vaporize and remove tissue from the epidermis to the dermal-epidermal junction. This allows for accurate depth control, minimal thermal damage, and faster recovery.
By removing tissue through water vaporization without applying unnecessary heat to surrounding tissues, it lowers the possibility of hyperpigmentation and reduces treatment burden.
Comparison of DOE and MLA Methods
Fraxel laser energy delivery methods are categorized into DOE and MLA. The DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) method delivers uniform energy to all treatment points and is advantageous for evenly distributing energy during treatment. However, there might be output limitations, making the practitioner's skill crucial for scar improvement.
In contrast, the MLA (Microlens Array) method concentrates strong energy in the center and weaker energy around it, which may be suitable for improving deep scars. However, if energy is excessively concentrated in a specific area, the recovery period might be prolonged.
Effects of Erbium YAG Fraxel
Erbium YAG Fraxel utilizes the DOE method to deliver laser energy,
which can contribute to evenly distributing energy across the entire skin and reducing treatment burden.
This method can be more effective for improving pores, fine lines, and skin texture, and even for acne scars, improvement can be expected through the overlap technique.
Collagen and Elastin Regeneration: It can help strengthen the skin structure by removing damaged skin tissue and stimulating fibroblasts in the dermis. This may lead to smoother skin texture and improved elasticity.
Pore Shrinkage Effect: As fibrous tissues around the pores rearrange, pores may contract, and the skin surface may feel refined.
Acne Scar Remodeling: Existing scar tissue gradually breaks down and is replaced by new collagen tissue, which can contribute to improved skin texture.
Related Research on Erbium YAG Fraxel
Serdar ZA et al. Dermatol Ther. 2019 paper:
Study Subjects: 333 patients with facial and neck wrinkles
When erbium YAG fractional laser is performed 3 to 4 times, positive effects on skin texture improvement, wrinkle reduction, and pigmentation control can be expected.
According to a paper by Robati RM et al. published in J Cosmet Dermatol in 2020:
Some people wish to improve facial pores or fine lines.
Even with just one treatment, results showing improvement in fine lines can appear.
If treated 3 or more times, the improvement effect can last longer, and a pore tightening effect can also be expected.
A Message from the Chief Director
I encounter countless individuals' skin daily. I know that even for the same person, skin conditions vary daily, and no two skins have ever been exactly alike.
True to its name, fractional laser treatment precisely adjusts the laser output and depth in 0.1-unit increments according to the skin condition on the day of your visit.
With this mindset, I perform treatments daily. I always strive for accuracy and prioritize safety above all else.
Genuine fractional laser treatment is not merely determined by the equipment alone; its results can vary depending on skilled hands.
If you visit us with trust, I will diligently perform treatments to meet your expectations.

Post-Treatment Precautions
- ㆍIt is advisable not to wash your face or apply makeup on the day of the treatment; light cleansing can be started from the next day.
- ㆍTip marks, redness, and pain in the treated area may persist for approximately 7 days. During this time, combining cooling care such as an ice pack is beneficial.
- ㆍSince fractional laser is a micro-peeling treatment, any dead skin that appears 3-4 days after the treatment should never be forcibly removed and should be allowed to fall off naturally.
- ㆍUntil all dead skin has completely exfoliated, it is best to refrain from alcohol and smoking, as well as saunas, public baths, and swimming pools.
- ㆍThe period from immediately after treatment until all dead skin exfoliates (1-2 weeks later) is crucial for skin regeneration, so consistent application of a regenerative ointment is recommended.
- ㆍPay special attention to moisturizing for skin soothing and recovery, and meticulously apply sunscreen when going out.

Q&A
고객님들이 가장 많이 물어보시는 내용을 모았습니다.
How much pain is involved with Fraxel treatment?
Prior to the procedure, we apply an anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort. Generally, it's not severe pain, but you may feel a stinging or burning sensation in the treated area for about 1-2 days.
When do scabs form and when do they fall off?
Typically, fine scabs begin to form 3-4 days after the procedure, and you can observe them naturally falling off after about 1 week. While there are individual differences, the scabs usually exfoliate over approximately 1-2 weeks. Since this procedure stimulates skin regeneration, temporary redness may appear, which generally improves gradually within 1-2 weeks.
How long does redness last?
Generally, the redness in the treated area typically subsides naturally within about 1-2 weeks. However, if your skin is sensitive or dry, or if your skin regeneration rate is slow due to personal factors such as nutritional status, the redness may persist a little longer.
When can I wash my face or apply makeup after the procedure?
It is advisable to refrain from washing your face and applying makeup on the day of the Fraxel treatment. You can gently wash your face and apply makeup starting from the next day.
What is the recommended treatment interval?
It is generally recommended to receive 3-5 sessions at 4-week intervals. After that, receiving treatment once every 3-6 months can help maintain the desired effects.
When can I typically expect to see treatment results?
Collagen production begins to become active 2-3 weeks after the procedure, and you can expect your skin to feel firmer after about a month. If your skin concerns are significant, you can anticipate more satisfying improvements with consistent treatments of 3 or more sessions.
