Quite often my patients remark that they are impressed by the results of Fraxel but concerned about the pain factor. At Palm Clinic we do our utmost to make your experience welcoming and painless.
In order to be effective Fraxel must cause some controlled damage to the skin, so without pain relief, it can be painful. With a topical anaesthetic cream applied 1 hour prior to treatment, most people find this treatment somewhat uncomfortable. With the addition of a cooling device called the Zimmer cooler the discomfort is lessened further. We use the topical anaesthetic and Zimmer cooler for all our patients.
