Treatment Overview
Redness Reduction Fraxel is a fractional non-ablative Fraxel laser treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics to address persistent facial redness, rosacea-related flushing, post-acne redness, and vascular pigmentation. By delivering microscopic laser beams into the dermis, Fraxel stimulates new collagen production, repairs damaged capillaries, and improves skin resilience, gradually reducing redness and uneven skin tone.
Unlike vascular lasers like V-Beam or IPL, Fraxel for redness reduction provides a broader benefit: not only reducing visible redness but also improving skin texture, pores, and early aging signs. In Korea, dermatologists often combine Fraxel with calming boosters such as exosomes, PN, or PRP to accelerate healing and strengthen skin barrier function.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Redness, Rosacea, PIH, Sensitivity, Uneven Tone family (Redness Fraxel, Pigment Removal Fraxel, Hyperpigmentation Fraxel, Pico Toning, V-Beam/IPL):
- Redness Fraxel: Best for overall redness reduction + skin strengthening.
- Pigment Removal Fraxel: Best for brown spots and melanin pigmentation.
- Hyperpigmentation Fraxel: Best for melasma + PIH.

Surgical Techniques Used
Redness Reduction Fraxel relies on fractional non-ablative remodeling:
- Laser Device: Fraxel Dual (1550 nm wavelength for dermal collagen).
- Fractional Beams: Create microthermal zones to repair vessels and rebuild skin.
- Non-Ablative Action: Leaves surface skin intact for faster recovery.
- Treatment Zones: Full face, cheeks, nose, and chin (common redness areas).
- Protocol: 3–5 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart; yearly touch-ups optional.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild redness and warmth (similar to sunburn).
- 1–3 Days: Slight swelling, bronzing effect.
- 3–5 Days: Flaking and peeling as skin renews.
- 2–4 Weeks: Visible reduction in redness and more even tone.
- 3–6 Months: Ongoing collagen remodeling strengthens vessels.
Aftercare Tips:
- Use SPF 50+ daily to prevent flare-ups.
- Avoid hot showers, spicy food, alcohol, and saunas for a few days.
- Apply calming creams and hydrating serums.
- Avoid exfoliants and retinoids until cleared.
- Consider combination with vascular lasers (like V-Beam) for advanced cases.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Skin feels calmer and fresher after healing.
- Short-Term (1–2 Months): Redness visibly reduced, skin tone balanced.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Capillaries strengthen, flare-ups decrease.
- Long-Term: Results last 1–2 years; periodic maintenance helps rosacea-prone patients.
