I have visited Ellevate two different times this year for the Fraxel laser treatment, the first treatment with Dr. Jayaram and the second time with Paige. Both sessions went well and I am so thrilled with the results! I plan to return for future Fraxel visits.
I recently had a Fraxel treatment with Dr. J, and once again I am so impressed by her. I was honestly expecting it to be much more painful, but the discomfort was minimal. She never pushes treatments you do not need.
I had Fraxel done and it was amazing! They took the time to let me numb so I literally did not feel any pain. Dr Jayaram took time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend EllevateMD.
Fraxel Laser Treatment is ideal for individuals looking to address specific skin concerns without invasive surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:

Initial Consultation:
A specialist evaluates your skin and discusses your concerns, creating a customized treatment plan.
Preparation:
On treatment day, your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
The Procedure:
Using a handheld Fraxel device, controlled micro-injuries are created under the skin in targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and cell renewal.
Post-Treatment Care:
A soothing cream is applied to calm the skin. Slight redness, similar to a sunburn, typically subsides within a few days.
Recovery:
Most patients return to daily activities within a few days, with visible improvements developing over the next few weeks.
The cost of Fraxel Laser Treatment at ellevateMD depends on the treatment area, the number of sessions recommended, and any customized options.
Commonly treated areas include small spots like scars or the forehead, as well as larger areas like the full face or face-and-neck combinations.
During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your goals, often recommending 3–5 sessions for optimal, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
Expertise: Led by a board-certified specialist with extensive experience in Fraxel technology.
Advanced Technology: We use an advanced non-ablative laser (Fraxel DUAL) for tailored treatments.
Personalized Care: Every client receives a customized treatment plan to meet their goals.
Patient Comfort: Advanced numbing techniques and cooling systems ensure a comfortable experience.
Proven Results: Consistently achieving natural, high-quality results that restore skin vitality.

Most patients return to daily activities within a few days after Fraxel. The skin looks red and feels like a mild sunburn at first, then flakes as it heals, and visible improvement builds over the following weeks. Avoid direct sun for at least two weeks and skip retinoids and exfoliants during the first week.
Fraxel is usually well tolerated because a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment and cooling is used during it. Most patients describe a warm, prickly sensation rather than sharp pain. Several Ellevate MD patients say they expected more discomfort and felt very little once they were fully numb.
Yes, Fraxel can treat fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Because the eyelid area is delicate, the treating provider matters. Dr. Jayaram is a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon who specializes in eyelid anatomy, which gives patients an extra layer of care when treating crepey or wrinkled skin near the eyes.
Most patients are advised to have three to five Fraxel sessions for the best long-lasting results. Some people notice smoother, brighter skin after one treatment, but collagen builds over time and a series gives deeper improvement in scars, sun damage and fine lines. Your plan depends on the area treated and your goals.
Fraxel usually costs about $800 to $1,500 per session in most US markets, depending on the area treated. Price at Ellevate MD depends on the area, from a small spot or the forehead to the full face and neck, and the number of sessions in your plan. Book a consultation for an accurate quote.
