If you’re looking for a powerful, non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin, improve texture, reduce fine lines, and restore a more youthful appearance, Full Face Fraxel FTX laser treatment may be the solution you’ve been searching for.
At Dayton Skin Care, we specialize in advanced aesthetic treatments designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. One of our most transformative options is the Fraxel FTX laser, a cutting-edge fractional resurfacing treatment that helps renew your skin from the inside out.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about full face Fraxel FTX laser treatments — how it works, what it treats, what to expect, and whether it’s right for you.
What Is Full Face Fraxel FTX Laser?
Fraxel FTX is an advanced fractional laser resurfacing treatment designed to improve overall skin tone, texture, and clarity. Unlike traditional laser treatments that affect the entire surface of the skin, Fraxel uses fractional technology, meaning it treats microscopic columns of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
This approach allows for:
-
Faster healing
-
Stimulated collagen production
-
Smoother, firmer skin
-
Reduced downtime compared to fully ablative lasers
When performed on the full face, Fraxel FTX provides comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing multiple skin concerns in a single treatment plan.
How Does Fraxel FTX Work?
Fraxel FTX delivers precise laser energy deep into the skin. This energy creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response. As your skin repairs itself, it produces:
-
New collagen
-
New elastin
-
Fresh, healthy skin cells
Over time, this process leads to smoother texture, improved tone, and reduced signs of aging.
Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is quicker and more comfortable than older resurfacing methods.
What Skin Concerns Can Full Face Fraxel FTX Treat?
Fraxel FTX is incredibly versatile. It is commonly used to treat:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Sun damage
-
Age spots and pigmentation
-
Acne scars
-
Surgical scars
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Rough skin texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Early signs of aging
If you’re noticing multiple skin concerns at once, full face Fraxel can address them simultaneously for more comprehensive improvement.

Comprehensive Q&A Section
Q: Is full face Fraxel FTX painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as tolerable. A topical numbing cream is used beforehand to increase comfort. You may feel warmth or a snapping sensation during the procedure.
Q: How long does a Fraxel FTX treatment take?
A full face treatment typically takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Q: How soon will I see results?
Initial improvements can be seen once the skin heals (about 1–2 weeks). Continued improvement occurs over several months as collagen production increases.
Q: Is Fraxel safe for all skin types?
Fraxel can be safe for many skin types when performed by trained professionals. During your consultation at Dayton Skin Care, we assess your skin type to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Q: Can Fraxel FTX treat acne scars?
Yes. Fraxel is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for improving acne scars by stimulating collagen remodeling.
Q: How long do results last?
Results can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your skin goals.
Q: What is the difference between Fraxel and traditional laser resurfacing?
Traditional resurfacing treats the entire skin surface, which can require significant downtime. Fraxel treats microscopic portions of the skin, allowing for faster healing and fewer side effects.
Q: Can I wear makeup after treatment?
You should wait until your provider clears you to apply makeup — typically after the initial healing phase (about 3–5 days).
Q: Is there anyone who should not get Fraxel?
Patients who are pregnant, have active skin infections, certain medical conditions, or recent isotretinoin use may not be candidates. A consultation is necessary to determine eligibility.
Q: Can Fraxel be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Fraxel can often be combined with injectables, medical-grade skincare, or other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results. Your provider can create a customized treatment plan.
