Frac3
Skin Rejuvenation
The FRAC3 skin treatment is a non-ablative revolution in skin rejuvenation. FRAC3 utilises Nd.Yag laser to stimulate the skin's natural capacity to rejuvenate by inducing micro wounds in prematurely aged or damaged portions of the dermis and epidermis.
In FRAC3, a 3-dimensional matrix of micro-wounds is created through the laser which is concentrated at specific depths of the existing skin damage. The surrounding tissue remains unaffected therefore the treatment intensity is minimised. This treatment achieves a healthy, natural glow without the discomfort and downtime associated with other procedures. FRAC3 is also used to diffuse redness and treat rosacea and pigmentation.
This is a safe and non-invasive procedure and often referred to as a "lunch hour laser".

Prior to Treatment
At Advanced Laser Clinic, we require all our patients to undergo a consultation with our Laser Consultant before their first treatment.
At this appointment, we welcome all questions to advance your understanding of the treatment. You will be required to fill a consultation form about your health and medication history that will assess your eligibility for treatment.
A patch test will be performed on your skin prior to the treatment to make sure the laser settings are suitable for you. If we observe no reactions 24 hours after your patch test, we will start the preparation for commencing your treatment.
Before you get laser therapy done, it is essential that you keep your treated area away from sun exposure. Your skin needs protection from sun exposure for a minimum of two weeks before any treatment commences and this is required to be followed after the procedure is completed as well. The lasers work on providing a specific heat at a specific depth in your tissue to produce a desired end point. This end point can be exacerbated if exposed to sun and can cause unwanted side effects

The sensation you feel in treatment is not felt on the skin, but in the follicle of the hair. Unfortunately numbing cream cannot penetrate deep enough to minimise the discomfort that may be felt at the follicle. Please ensure that no occlusive creams are present in the treatment areas when undergoing laser hair removal treatments.

What kind of results can I expect?A majority of patients who undergo this treatment see an 80-90% reduction in their hair growth. and the hair follicles that remain after treatment are damaged, meaning that they will produce a finer hair than before treatment. In the weeks following the laser treatment, you will be noticing less hair, slower-growing hair, and even hair falling out. There is also a reduction in hair bumps and ingrown hairs after your first treatment. It is important to apply moisturizers and cool compresses immediately after the treatment if you feel any discomfort in the treated area. Following the treatment, overall you should be able to see a loss of hair over the month. It is recommended to use sunscreen whenever you step out. Although there are some complications that may occur with the process of laser hair removal, as it is with any medical procedure, these are usually minor and rarely occur. Any possible effects of laser hair removal will be reviewed by your clinician during your consultation.
