Rejuvenation with the Frax 1550 laser

Procedure

Frax 1550 allows pulse duration and energy to be adjusted independently. This gives control over the width and depth of the thermal injury. The thermal injury is what remodels the tissue and forms new collagen, which fills in scars and restructures the tissue. It is used for the following treatments:

Skin resurfacing of the face, décolletage, neck and arms

The Ellipse Frax 1550 helps slow the visible signs of ageing: the skin looks brighter and has fewer wrinkles. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen production, which tightens the skin.

Acne scars and stretch marks

After an injury, the body prioritises repairing the damage quickly. So it forms a scar rather than re-epithelialising the skin naturally. Stretch marks can follow pregnancy, rapid growth or sudden weight change: the elastin fibres cannot stretch any further, break, and expose deeper skin in the form of a line. Acne scars are the body’s response to severe acne. The immune system releases enzymes that attack the bacteria but also damage the surrounding tissue. The Ellipse Frax 1550 laser creates small, controlled thermal channels in healthy skin. As the body repairs this damage, it produces collagen throughout the treated area and the scar looks better.

Benefits

  • Softens fine lines and pigmentation irregularities.

  • Improves skin quality.

  • Reduces pore size.

  • Tightens the skin.

  • Stimulates collagen production.

Number of sessions

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated, with at least one month between sessions. Usually 3 to 5 sessions are needed.

When results are visible

One month after Ellipse-Candela Frax 1550 laser treatment, some results can already be seen. Skin texture, radiance and tone improve. Fine lines gradually soften, and pigmentation irregularities such as spots and dyschromia start to fade. Pores look smaller and the skin more even.

Over time, and with further sessions, the result becomes more visible: scars, stretch marks and other skin imperfections are less noticeable. Collagen production keeps increasing, which adds firmness and elasticity.

For the best result, complete all the sessions your specialist recommends. The effects can last for months.

Points to bear in mind

Ongoing collagen stimulation helps maintain the result in the long term.

Follow the aftercare your specialist recommends, such as sunscreen and suitable skincare products. This helps the result last longer.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Frax 1550 laser rejuvenate the skin?
It emits a fractional beam of light split into thousands of micro-beams. These penetrate deep into the skin without damaging the outer layer. In the deeper layers they generate controlled heat, creating micro-columns of thermal coagulation. This thermal injury triggers the body's natural healing response, which produces new collagen and elastin. As a result, texture improves, wrinkles are reduced and pigmentation fades. The settings are tailored to each patient.
What are the benefits of Frax 1550 laser treatment?
It reduces wrinkles, fades pigmentation, improves skin quality, increases firmness and elasticity and reduces pore size. It also treats acne scars, stretch marks and other skin imperfections. Stimulating collagen and elastin helps the results last.
How many sessions are needed and how often?
It depends on each patient and the condition being treated. As a rule, 3 to 5 sessions are recommended, at least one month apart so the skin can recover. Your specialist may adjust the interval according to how your skin responds.
When are the results of Frax 1550 laser treatment visible?
They are progressive. They may start to show about one month after the first session: better texture, radiance and tone, with fine lines and pigmentation gradually fading. Each session makes the result more evident. Responses vary from person to person, and in more severe skin damage the full result takes longer.
How are the results maintained in the long term?
By completing all the recommended sessions and following the aftercare: daily sunscreen, the skincare products your specialist recommends and regular follow-up visits. With this, the effects can last for months.

Treatments with this device

  1. Wrinkles

    Wrinkles form as part of natural ageing, as the skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and sun exposure, stress, smoking or lack of rest speed the process up. Each type of wrinkle needs a different treatment.

  2. Acne scars

    The Frax 1550 fractional laser treats acne scars and marks by creating small thermal channels in the skin that stimulate collagen and skin renewal. It also improves stretch marks, enlarged pores and wrinkles.

  3. Dark circles

    Dark circle treatment with hyaluronic acid corrects hollows and tear trough grooves and improves the skin under the eyes, using injectable products developed for the delicate eye area. The result is long-lasting.

  4. Skin quality

    Non-surgical facial rejuvenation brings together medical aesthetic treatments (IPL, peels, mesotherapy, lasers, radiofrequency or hyaluronic acid) that soften wrinkles, spots and sagging. The choice always follows a medical assessment.
