What is Fraxel Laser?
Fraxel is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that addresses fine lines, acne scars, surgical scars, sun damage, and overall skin texture. It works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, triggering collagen production and accelerating skin cell turnover.
Fraxel Dual uses two wavelengths — 1550 nm (deeper tissue remodeling) and 1927 nm (surface pigmentation) — allowing providers to customize treatment for your specific concerns. Recovery takes 5 to 7 days of significant redness and swelling, and results continue to improve for 3 to 6 months as new collagen builds.
Clear + Brilliant is often compared to Fraxel as a milder alternative. Fraxel produces more dramatic results but with more downtime. One to three sessions is the typical recommendation.
How much does Fraxel Laser cost in San Francisco?
Fraxel laser treatment in San Francisco typically costs between $1,400 and $3,500 per session. Most patients see significant results in 1 to 3 sessions.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Fraxel cost in San Francisco?
Fraxel in San Francisco typically costs $1,400 to $3,500 per session. More aggressive settings or additional treatment areas increase cost. the San Francisco Bay Area carries some of the highest commercial rents and most in-demand practitioners in the country, pushing rates above the national median.
How many Fraxel sessions do I need?
Most patients see significant improvement in 1 to 3 sessions. Fine lines and mild sun damage may resolve in 1 to 2 sessions. Deeper acne scars typically require 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
What is Fraxel recovery like?
Expect 5 to 7 days of significant redness, swelling, and bronzed flaking skin. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work after day 5 to 7 with makeup. Sun avoidance is critical for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
Is Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant better for my skin?
Clear + Brilliant is a milder fractional laser with minimal downtime (1 to 2 days of redness) and more subtle results — it is excellent for maintenance and early aging. Fraxel is more aggressive with more downtime (5 to 7 days) and produces more significant improvement in texture, scars, and sun damage. If you have acne scars or significant texture concerns, Fraxel is typically the better choice.
