Frax Laser Skin Resurfacing at Spa35
What Is Frax?
Frax is a non-ablative fractional laser. It delivers thousands of tiny, controlled columns of light energy deep into the skin, sparking your body's natural repair response and stimulating fresh collagen — while leaving the surface of your skin intact. You get the smoothing, brightening, collagen-building power of laser resurfacing with far less downtime than traditional ablative lasers.
The treatment is fully customizable: your provider can target surface concerns like dullness and uneven tone, or go deeper to address texture, fine lines, and scarring — tailoring the depth and intensity to your skin and your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Frax laser resurfacing?
Frax is a non-ablative fractional laser that resurfaces the skin from within — stimulating collagen and revealing smoother, brighter, more even skin — while keeping the surface intact for minimal downtime.
What does Frax treat?
Fine lines and wrinkles, rough or uneven texture, sun damage and age spots, acne and other scars, enlarged-looking pores, and overall dull or aging skin — on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients see the best results with a series of about three treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, though your provider will tailor a plan to your skin at your consultation.
Is there downtime?
Very little. Because Frax is non-ablative, most clients are just pink and warm — like a mild sunburn — for one to three days, then back to normal.
Does it hurt?
With cooling and comfort measures, most clients find it very tolerable — a warm, prickling sensation during treatment. We'll keep you comfortable throughout.
Why is fall the ideal time for Frax?
Laser resurfacing asks you to limit sun exposure and wear SPF for about a month afterward, so Boise's cooler, shorter days make autumn the perfect, safe season to treat — and you'll walk into the holidays glowing.
How soon will I see results?
Your skin will look refreshed within days, and results continue to build over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms — improving further with each treatment in your series.

Crow’s feet, wrinkles between the eyes (glabellar area) and forehead furrows are usually the first thing people do when working on their eyes. These neuro-regulators have been used for many years to minimize muscle movement around the eyes that make you look older. Early and frequent use can also protect and rebuild your skin from the damage to your dermis that occurs after repetitive creasing of the skin. But Botox is not enough to improve all the signs of eye aging. Add other services to maximize your results.
