Dr. Jegasothy has found a way to revitalize skin and restore that fresh, youthful glow using the Fraxel® laser. This advanced fractional laser works by creating thousands of tiny but deep microscopic columns of energy—or “drilled wells”— invisible to the naked eye that target aging or DNA-damaged skin cells at a deeper level. Requiring only a topical anesthetic, Fraxel® resurfaces about 15–20% of the skin at one time while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, allowing the body to quickly heal. This controlled process works by activating the body’s natural repair system, prompting production of new “normal” collagen production within the treated columns. As the damaged skin cells are replaced and collagen production continues, the skin becomes rejuvenated and the targeted concern is visibly improved, resulting in smoother, firmer, and brighter-looking skin with only a 24-hour recovery time.

Fraxel® can help improve wrinkles, stretch marks, dark under-eye circles, acne scars, surgical or traumatic scars, keratoses, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and crepey skin. It helps improve overall skin texture and quality anywhere on the body, while remaining gentle enough for use on delicate areas such as the eyes, neck, chest, and hands.

Over the following days and weeks, the skin gradually improves as new collagen is produced and damaged skin cells are replaced, with ongoing improvements in tone, texture, and clarity based on individual treatment plans.

Fraxel® is a proven approach to skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, and at Miami Skin Institute, we customize each treatment plan based on the patient’s skin type, goals, and level of sensitivity. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. J has developed proprietary laser settings and treatment protocols exclusive to Miami Skin Institute. These are tailored to each patient at every visit based on their presentation and individual anatomy, optimizing results while minimizing recovery time compared to other laser treatment centers. If you are struggling with wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, or brown spots, ask us at your consultation if Fraxel® laser treatment is right for you!
