Scars tell stories, but not all of them deserve a lifelong place on your skin. From acne scars and stretch marks to deeper concerns like boxcar or rolling scars, many Filipinos struggle to find treatments that actually work without lengthy downtime or discomfort. That’s where the Frax Pro Laser comes in—a cutting-edge solution that’s rewriting the scar care playbook.
Unlike traditional lasers that can be too harsh or require days off for recovery, the Frax Pro is a fractional non-ablative laser that penetrates deep into the skin while keeping the surface intact. It’s powerful enough to improve skin textural issues like scarring yet gentle enough for regular use. Best of all, it works by stimulating natural collagen production, helping the skin rebuild itself from within. Whether you’re treating old acne scars or addressing new stretch marks, Frax Pro makes smoother, more even skin not just possible—but also surprisingly accessible.
Common Facial and Body Scars Treated with Frax Pro Laser
Scars can differ greatly in shape, depth, and how they respond to treatment. That’s why the Frax Pro Laser is such a powerful tool—it adapts to each scar type, treating them at their root for smoother, healthier skin. Here’s how Frax Pro helps with each kind:
Ice Pick Scars
Ice pick scars are sharp, narrow, and deep—like tiny punctures in the skin. Because they reach into the dermis, they’ve historically been difficult to treat with creams or surface-level therapies. The Frax Pro Laser’s precision targeting allows it to penetrate deep without harming the surrounding tissue. This process stimulates collagen production from within, gradually softening these pits and encouraging the skin to fill in the gaps and smooth the surface.
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars have well-defined edges and a broad, crater-like base. These scars are typically the result of prolonged inflammatory acne. Frax Pro’s dual-wavelength fractional energy targets the depth of these scars, promoting dermal remodeling. As collagen rebuilds beneath the skin, the depressed areas begin to rise, creating a more even and refined texture across the face.
Rolling Scars
Unlike boxcar or ice pick scars, rolling scars give the skin a wavy, uneven appearance. These scars are caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward. Frax Pro penetrates the lower layers of the dermis, breaking down these bands and initiating a regenerative process. The result is smoother contours and more uniform skin texture, especially on cheeks and jawlines.
Atrophic Scars
Atrophic scars are shallow, flat depressions that result from tissue loss. They are often caused by conditions like acne or chickenpox. Frax Pro stimulates fibroblast activity, enhancing collagen and elastin production where the skin has lost volume. Over multiple sessions, the skin regains density, reducing the appearance of these shallow indentations.
Keloids and Elevated Scars
Raised scars like keloids and hypertrophic scars form when the body produces excess collagen during the healing process. While not typically the first option for these scar types, Frax Pro can be a supportive part of a treatment plan. Its laser beam energy can reduce redness and promote a flatter appearance over time, especially when combined with therapies like corticosteroid injections or silicone gel.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are actually small tears in the dermis from rapid stretching, often seen in pregnancy or weight changes. These lines are a form of scarring that affects texture and color. Frax Pro improves stretch marks by enhancing dermal remodeling and collagen regeneration, helping to restore elasticity and reduce visible lines.
Frax Pro works from the inside out, doing more than just reducing the appearance of scars—it actively helps heal them beneath the surface. It’s the kind of innovation that finally answers the question Filipinos often ask: “Is there a scar treatment in Naga City that actually works for my skin type?” With Frax Pro, the answer is yes.
How Frax Pro Differs from Fractional CO2 Lasers
While both Frax Pro and Fractional CO2 lasers are designed to improve skin texture, scars, and overall appearance, the way they work—and how your skin responds—are significantly different.
Fractional CO2 lasers are ablative fractional, meaning they remove the outermost layers of skin to stimulate healing and collagen production. While effective, they come with notable downsides: longer recovery period, increased risk of side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin types), and discomfort during and after the procedure.
In contrast, Frax Pro is a fractional laser device that’s non-ablative. It penetrates deep into the skin without damaging the surface, making it gentler yet highly effective. The result? A much shorter recovery period, minimal to no downtime, and far less discomfort—perfect for people with busy schedules or sensitive skin.
Another key difference is precision and comfort. Frax Pro is equipped with SoftCool™ technology, which delivers a stream of cool air to the treated areas during each pulse. This feature not only enhances comfort but also allows for deeper laser beam penetration without the typical heat sensation associated with CO2 lasers.
