You’ll start to see initial improvements within a few days of treatment, with optimal results appearing over the following weeks as your skin heals. We often use laser resurfacing for patients looking to stimulate collagen production, so your skin continues to improve in texture, tone, and firmness for months after your session.

How It Works
Fraxel FTX™ uses two wavelengths to treat at different skin depths:

1927 nm: resurfaces and corrects pigmentation at the superficial level
-
1550 nm: penetrates deeper to remodel collagen and improve texture and scarring
By treating only micro-columns of skin at a time, Fraxel FTX™ triggers natural cell regeneration while keeping recovery quick and manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your recovery timeline depends on the depth of the laser resurfacing treatment. Superficial treatments typically involve some minor redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper resurfacing may require a week or more of healing. Keep your skin moisturized and clean, and avoid direct sun exposure. Your provider will guide you on specific aftercare steps to support a smooth recovery.
The number of sessions you need depends on your skin concerns and specific treatment goals. Some patients achieve their desired results with a single session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments for enhanced effects. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the best treatment plan to achieve smoother, healthier skin with laser resurfacing in Monterey.

Alicia Segovia R.N.
Aesthetic Nurse
“I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse and serving the community I was born and raised in. In 2014, I graduated nursing school with honors and subsequently began my journey in the medical field. After 5 years of acute-care nursing, I stepped away from my career to raise my two children. A couple years later, I was given the most-amazing opportunity to become an aesthetic nurse. For the past four years I have had the privilege to use my clinical skills to deliver my patients safe and compassionate care that can contribute to the betterment of their self-esteem and feeling that they are the best version of themselves. I know firsthand how aesthetics and plastic surgery can have a significant impact on self-confidence and for so many be a wonderful life-changing experience.”
Outside of work, I love spending time traveling to new places with my husband and two young children.
We all desire to feel our best and to be our best. Aesthetics allow us to match how we feel or may want to feel on the inside with how we see ourselves on the outside. I want my patients to have all of the confidence in themselves and in myself as their practitioner as we navigate their aesthetic journey together.”
-Aesthetic Nurse, Alicia
