Many people develop fine lines, deep folds, and sun damage as facial skin loses collagen over time. Fraxel for wrinkles uses fractional laser energy to resurface that skin and smooth its texture. The fractional CO2 laser treats tiny columns of skin and leaves the surrounding tissue intact. This helps the face heal faster while wrinkles, creases, and rough patches soften. It suits patients who want firmer, fresher skin without surgery.
Dr. Rokhsar helped develop the Fraxel laser and continues to perform Fraxel laser treatment at our practice. Patients exploring related resurfacing often consider CO2 laser resurfacing for deeper texture concerns. Others pair it with sun damage treatment for tone and pigment. The patient results below were treated at our New York City and Long Island offices.
Fraxel CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Facial Wrinkles (Patient 1)
Along the lower face and neck, deep horizontal creases and slack skin marked years of sun exposure. The fractional CO2 resurfacing softened those folds and tightened the jawline. In the after view, the neck contour looks smoother and the cheek skin reads more even. Fine wrinkling near the mouth has also relaxed into the surrounding tone.
Sun Damage and Wrinkle Treatment with Fraxel CO2 (Patient 2)
Mottled sun damage and crosshatched wrinkling covered the cheek and the area near the mouth. This kind of weathered texture responds well to fractional CO2 resurfacing. The after image shows clearer skin with far less brown discoloration. The cheek surface looks tighter, and the deeper lines have eased without changing the natural facial shape.
Fractional CO2 Laser Smoothing of Deep Wrinkles (Patient 3)
The after view shows a face with noticeably smoother cheeks and a softer upper lip. Before treatment, deep vertical lines framed the mouth and crossed both cheeks. Fractional CO2 resurfacing has refined that texture while keeping expression natural. Skin tone now looks more uniform from the cheeks down to the jaw.
Cheek and Perioral Wrinkle Reduction with Fractional CO2 (Patient 4)
Set side by side, the contrast points to real change in skin quality. The earlier photo holds etched lines on the cheek and around the lips. The later photo shows a calmer surface where those creases have flattened. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing brought the cheek texture closer to the smoother skin above it.
Lower Face Wrinkle Resurfacing with Fractional CO2 Laser (Patient 5)
For deep folds running from the nose to the mouth, fractional CO2 resurfacing offered strong texture correction. Before treatment, heavy nasolabial lines and loose lower cheeks stood out. Afterward the same areas look firmer and more even. The marionette creases near the jaw have softened while the face keeps its natural structure.
Restore Dual Fraxel for Wrinkles and Sun Damage (Patient 6)
A non-ablative Fraxel Restore Dual approach treats sun damage with gentler downtime than fully ablative methods. The earlier image shows dull, sun-spotted skin on the cheeks and under the eyes. The result looks brighter, with more even color and a fresher surface. Crepey texture beneath the eyes appears tighter in the after view.
Eyelid Hooding and Wrinkles Treated with Fraxel CO2 (Patient 7)
Around the brows and upper lids, hooding and fine wrinkling weighed down the eyes. Fraxel CO2 resurfacing addressed the crepey skin and surface lines. The after photo shows a more open, refreshed eye area with smoother lids. Forehead texture also looks softer, and the overall expression appears more rested. The brow area reads lighter as well.
Periorbital and Lower Eyelid Wrinkle Resurfacing with Fraxel (Patient 8)
Fine crepey lines and crosshatched wrinkling sat on the lower eyelids and the area beneath the eyes. This delicate skin responds to careful fractional resurfacing. The after image shows a smoother under-eye surface with less visible texture. The lines between the brows have also relaxed without flattening normal expression. Surrounding cheek skin looks calm and even.
Full Face Wrinkle Treatment with Fraxel CO2 Repair (Patient 9)
Smoother skin and relaxed lip lines define the after view of this face. Earlier, deep perioral creases and nasolabial folds aged the lower face. Fraxel CO2 repair resurfacing refined that texture over the cheeks. The tone now looks more even from the mid face down to the chin. The cheeks read smoother in the later photo.
Facial Wrinkle Resurfacing with Fraxel CO2 Repair Laser (Patient 10)
Placed next to each other, the two photos track a clear shift in skin texture. The first holds sun-related pigment and fine wrinkling along the cheek. The second shows brighter, more uniform skin with the lines eased. Fractional CO2 resurfacing brought the cheek and jaw into smoother balance. The jawline now looks cleaner and brighter.
Crow’s Feet and Eye Wrinkles Treated with Fraxel CO2 (Patient 11)
For crow’s feet and fine lines fanning from the eyes, fractional resurfacing suits the thin skin well. Before treatment, etched creases framed the outer corners and under-eye area. The after image shows a smoother surface with the lines softened. The eyes look brighter while keeping a natural, unfrozen expression. The under-eye area also appears calmer.
Around the Eyes Wrinkle Smoothing with Fraxel CO2 (Patient 12)
Fractional CO2 resurfacing focused on the eye area smooths crepey skin without touching the whole face. The earlier photo shows tired, lined skin beneath the eyes and at the corners. The result looks smoother and more rested in that zone. Surrounding skin keeps its natural tone and the eyes appear more open.
