How Much Does Fraxel Laser Cost?

A Range of Procedures, A Range of Prices

Fraxel laser treatment costs will vary according to which treatment package you go for. Different doctors will usually recommend between three to five sessions for optimal results, and prices tyically range from approximately $1,000 to $5,000. These prices, however, depend on the number of treatments requires, the country, and the surgeon. In some areas, a full Fraxel treatment will cost only $800 (or less) to approximately $1,200. In other words, the cost of Fraxel varies quite significantly, so if you’re thinking $5,000 is too much to pay for good-looking skin, make sure you do your research, as it may cost you substantially less in reality.

The intensity of the treatment package will also affect its price. For example, if the doctor administers a topical anaesthetic or numbing agent to you before the treatment, you may be charged for this in addition to the procedure. Again, this depends on the doctor, the country, and what kind of procedure (and how many sessions) you’re having done. Similarly, if you decide to go to sleep during the procedure or be given a mild sedative, this will also affect the price.

Discounted Packages

While you may be thinking – wow, Fraxel is expensive! – don’t despair. Many doctors will offer discounted packages, and, while Fraxel Laser is rarely covered under health insurance plans (as it falls under "cosmetic" procedures), many doctors won’t require up-front payment. Instead, they’ll work out some kind of payment plan with their clients, so that the treatment doesn’t leave such a big hole in the wallet. There are also loan companies that you can apply to that will finance Fraxel laser treatment, so make sure to ask your doctor which ones he or she recommends.

Affordable By Comparison

Compared to many other types of cosmetic procedures, Fraxer Laser is a far more cost-effective and affordable way to get beautiful, younger-looking skin with minimal side effects and little recovery time. We all know that cosmetic procedures are expensive, but so too is going to the dentist or doctor for regular check-ups if you don’t have insurance. If you think about it, healthy skin isn’t a "cosmetic" procedure. After all, skin is the body’s largest and one of its most vital organs, and it’s important to take regular care of it. While Fraxel treatment certainly has cosmetic effects – meaning, it will help you give you a younger, smoother, and healthier-looking complexion – it also promotes new collagen growth, which gives our skin its elasticity and keeps it looking fresh.

Build a Relationship

The best way to find out if Fraxel is an affordable and effective treatment for you is to find a well-trained, experienced and knowledgeable physician that you can build a trusting relationship with. Not only will they help you decide if the treatment is right for you, but they’ll also be able to guide you to which treatment is right for you, as well as which payment option is best. While there is no set number to how much Fraxel Laser cost, there are set results: better, more beautiful skin.
