Skin that’s lost its smoothness, through scarring, fine lines, wrinkles or textural changes – doesn’t have to mean choosing a treatment with weeks of downtime. Our Frax 1550 laser skin resurfacing, is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that works with your skin’s own renewal process to help you achieve more youthful plump skin.

What Is Frax 1550 Laser Resurfacing?

Frax 1550 is the non-ablative fractional laser applicator on the Candela Nordlys platform. Unlike ablative fractional lasers, a non-ablative fractional laser treats the skin in a grid of micro-treatment zones while leaving the surface layer intact. This stimulates the skin’s natural collagen induction process underneath, supporting skin renewal with less visible downtime than an ablative resurfacing treatment.

 

At Este Medical Group Birmingham, Frax 1550 fractional laser treatment is used to address:

 

  • Textured skin
  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Scarring

Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing: What Makes Frax 1550 Different

Many laser skin resurfacing treatments in Birmingham use ablative (CO2-based) technology, which removes the outer layer of skin and typically involves more downtime. Frax 1550 takes a non-ablative approachthe surface stays intact while the laser works beneath it, which is why it’s a good option if you want visible improvement in texture, fine lines, wrinkles or scarring without an extended recovery period. Your consultant will talk you through how this compares with other resurfacing options at Este, including our ablative Pixel Laser Resurfacing treatment, so you can choose the technology that suits your skin and goals. 

Suitable for a range of skin tones

The Candela Nordlys platform can be adjusted to suit different skin types and melanin levels. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and complete a patch test before selecting the most appropriate settings.

 

  • Adjustable settings help tailor treatment to your skin.
  • Patch testing supports safe, personalised treatment planning.
  • Your practitioner will confirm suitability before treatment begins.

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQ's

What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a treatment that targets skin concerns such as textured skin, fine lines, wrinkles and scarring. At Este Medical Group Birmingham, our Frax 1550 treatment uses a non-ablative fractional laser, meaning it works beneath the skin’s surface to encourage renewal, without removing the top layer of skin.
Fractional laser treatment delivers the laser to the skin in a grid of small treatment zones rather than treating the whole area at once. This stimulates collagen induction in the treated zones while leaving the surrounding skin untouched, which supports the skin’s natural repair process.
Prices are discussed at your consultation
Most patients have 2–4 treatments, spaced around four weeks apart. The exact number will depend on your skin and what you’re looking to treat, which your consultant will confirm at your consultation.
The Candela Nordlys platform is designed to be used across different skin types, with adjustable settings to account for differing melanin levels. Your practitioner will carry out a patch test and choose settings based on an individual assessment of your skin.
Non-ablative fractional laser treatment can be combined with other cosmetic treatments as part of a wider treatment plan. Your consultant can advise whether combining Frax 1550 with another Este treatment is suitable for your skin and goals.
