Now available at Este Medical Birmingham, discover our new Frax Laser skin resurfacing treatment. Are you looking for smoother, plumper-looking skin? Would you like to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, or acne scarring? Frax 1550 Laser treatments stimulate your skin’s natural renewal process while offering a relatively quick recovery time. If you’re looking for something that goes beyond surface-level skincare, Frax Laser could be exactly what you need.
You can see in our Este Birmingham treatment video just how a Frax Laser treatment works and why more people are choosing laser skin resurfacing as part of their long-term skincare routine.
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing, sometimes referred to as skin refinement, is an advanced treatment designed to target common skin concerns such as uneven texture, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring, including acne scars. The treatment encourages fresh skin regeneration by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, helping to create smoother, firmer, and plumper-looking skin.
Laser skin resurfacing has become increasingly popular because it offers noticeable skin improvements with a speedy recovery compared with more invasive procedures.
What Makes Frax Laser Different?
One of the biggest advantages of Frax 1550 is that it is a non-ablative laser treatment. Unlike treatments such as microneedling, which create tiny controlled injuries in the skin, Frax works by heating the deeper layers without “injuring” the skin’s outer surface (the epidermis).
This non-ablative method encourages collagen and elastin production while keeping the surface of the skin intact. As a result, Frax Laser is highly effective at softening fine lines, improving skin texture, reducing acne scarring, and fading signs of sun damage with minimal downtime.
Why Choose Frax Laser Treatments?
There is no doubt that a consistent daily skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy skin. However, even the best skincare products can only work to a certain level.
This is why advanced treatments such as Frax Laser are becoming an important part of a more complete skincare programme. While your morning and evening skincare products help maintain, protect, and hydrate your skin, laser treatments work deeper below the surface to stimulate collagen production and target concerns that creams and serums may not have the power to reach.
Together, professional laser treatments and a professional quality skincare routine can deliver longer-lasting improvements than either approach alone.
Who Can Have Frax Laser Treatments?
Frax Laser treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and can help address concerns including fine lines, uneven skin texture, acne scars, and certain pigmentation issues, including age spots.
At Este Medical Group, we use the Frax 1550 non-ablative fractional laser applicator on the advanced Candela Nordlys platform. The treatment can be adjusted to suit different skin types and individual skincare goals.
Before treatment, we recommend you book a skincare consultation and patch test at our Birmingham clinic. Patch testing helps ensure your treatment is safe, suitable, and tailored specifically to your skin.
What Is The Best Age To Have Frax Laser?
There is no single “best age” to start Frax Laser treatments. The ideal time depends entirely on your skin concerns and what you hope to achieve.
As a general guide:
Late 20s to late 30s: Many women and men choose Frax Laser as an early anti-ageing treatment. The aim is to encourage collagen production before deeper lines develop while also improving early acne scarring and refining overall skin texture.
40s to 60s: Frax Laser becomes an excellent option for treating more established concerns such as sun damage, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles, and changes in skin texture associated with ageing (e.g., menopausal skin changes).
When Is The Best Time Of Year For Frax Laser?
Autumn and winter are generally considered the best seasons for Frax Laser treatments because reduced UV exposure lowers the risk of post-treatment pigmentation while giving your skin the ideal environment to recover.
That said, Frax Laser can still be performed during the summer months. Extra care simply needs to be taken to avoid tanning before treatment and to protect healing skin from direct sunlight for at least two to three weeks afterwards. Daily SPF is essential throughout the recovery period.

How Is Frax Laser Different From Other Laser Skin Treatments?
The biggest difference lies in the fact that Frax 1550 is a non-ablative fractional laser. Unlike traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing, which removes the outer layer of skin and usually involves a longer recovery period, Frax leaves the skin’s surface intact while working beneath it.
This means the laser stimulates collagen production within the deeper layers of the skin without creating significant surface damage. It makes Frax 1550 an excellent choice for anyone wanting visible improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, pigmentation, and acne scarring without the extended downtime often associated with more intensive CO₂ laser resurfacing treatments.

How Many UK Frax Laser Treatments Will I Need?
For smoother, plumper-looking skin, most clients benefit from a course of two to four Frax Laser 1550 treatments, usually spaced around four weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on your age, your skin condition, and the concerns you would like to address. During your skincare consultation, the Este Medical team will assess your skin and recommend a personalised treatment timeline to help you achieve the best possible results.
Can Frax Laser Be Combined With Other Skin Regeneration Treatments?
Yes. Non-ablative fractional laser treatment can be combined with other cosmetic and regenerative skincare treatments as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan to enhance and improve overall skin quality. Combining treatments can help address multiple skin concerns while supporting your long-term skincare goals. Book a consultation with Este Medical to find out which Este UK anti-wrinkle and skin regeneration treatments are best suited to your skin type, skin condition, and desired results.
