Short clinician-led presentation introducing FRAXEL laser treatment and the concurrent use of biostimulatory agents. The speaker (Dr. Charles Mok) states they were early adopters of Fraxel in North America (since 2004), notes Fraxel has been available about 20 years, and contrasts it with older carbon dioxide lasers—highlighting greater downtime, bleeding/infection risk, antibiotic use, and longer healing (about 1–2 weeks) for CO2 lasers.

So we're going to talk about FRAXEL laser and bio stimulation with different biostimulatory agents done at the same time. Now, FRAXEL has been around for 20 years, many different versions of it. We were one of the first users of FRAXEL in North America back in 2004. There was a unique laser that replaced the previous gold standard, which was a carbon dioxide laser. Now, the carbon dioxide laser was great for skin tightening and skin remodeling, but has a substantial downtime. Things like bleeding, possibility of infections. You had to take antibiotics and downtime was substantial. The healing took about a week to 10 days, two weeks in some cases, bases, and the skin was red for a couple months.
