MultiFRAX Laser Munich
Non-ablative laser treatment for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation marks, acne scars and a more even complexion
Targeted skin improvement
A fresh, smooth and even complexion is not achieved solely at the skin’s surface. Deeper skin structures often play a role too: collagen loss, reduced elasticity, enlarged pores, pigmentation changes or small scars can make the skin appear uneven.
With the MultiFrax laser, we offer you a modern, non-ablative laser treatment for targeted skin improvement at our private practice for dermatology, wrinkle treatment and aesthetics in Munich. The procedure combines two different wavelengths in a single system, enabling it to address both superficial and deeper skin structures in a single treatment.
The aim is to visibly improve skin quality, stimulate the body’s own regenerative processes and promote a fresher, more even complexion – without surgical intervention and, as a rule, with a short recovery time.
What is the MultiFrax laser?
The MultiFrax laser is a fractional, non-ablative laser system. Non-ablative means that the skin’s surface is not removed over a large area. Instead, the laser energy is delivered into the skin in a controlled manner via microscopically small zones.
The surrounding tissue remains largely intact, thereby supporting the skin’s natural regeneration. Repair processes are stimulated in the treated areas of skin, which can, amongst other things, promote the formation of new collagen and elastic fibres.
What makes MultiFrax unique is the combination of two wavelengths:
1550 nm
This wavelength is particularly effective in the deeper layers of the skin. It can help stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin and is therefore particularly suitable for improving skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, pores and loss of firmness.
1927 nm
This wavelength acts more superficially and primarily targets changes in the epidermis. It can be used to treat pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, melasma, dyschromia and an uneven complexion.
Depending on the condition of your skin, both wavelengths can be used individually or in combination. This allows the treatment to be tailored to your skin, your preferences and the medical assessment.
Who is the MultiFrax treatment suitable for?
Treatment with the MultiFrax laser may be beneficial if you wish to refine your complexion, improve the quality of your skin or have specific skin conditions treated.
Typical areas of application include:
- fine lines and early wrinkles
- tired, sallow or sun-damaged skin
- uneven skin texture
- enlarged pores
- acne scars and atrophic scars
- active acne, depending on the findings
- Pigment spots and dyschromia
- Melasma
- Light-induced skin changes
- Stretch marks and pregnancy marks
- General skin rejuvenation and improvement in skin appearance
We will assess whether MultiFrax is suitable for your skin during a personal consultation. During this consultation, we will analyse your skin type, skin condition, tendency towards pigmentation, scar structure and your individual goals.
How does the MultiFrax treatment work?
During the treatment, fractional laser energy is delivered to the skin in a controlled manner. This creates microscopic thermal zones that remain surrounded by untreated tissue.
The skin responds to this with a natural repair process. Old or damaged skin structures can be gradually broken down, whilst the formation of fresh collagen and elastin fibres is promoted. As a result, the skin’s structure can improve progressively over the following weeks.
Depending on the settings and treatment objective, the focus can be more on the surface or on deeper layers of the skin. It is precisely this adaptability that makes MultiFrax a versatile method within our range of laser treatments.
MultiFrax for acne scars and pores
Acne scars are often caused by inflammatory processes that permanently alter the skin’s structure. The skin appears uneven, pitted or with enlarged pores. Using the 1550 nm wavelength, laser energy can be targeted at deeper layers of the skin to stimulate regenerative processes there.
The aim is a gradual improvement in the skin’s texture. Scars may appear softer and less noticeable, pores may appear refined, and the overall complexion may become smoother and more even.
MultiFrax for pigment spots, melasma and sun damage
Pigment changes are caused by an uneven distribution of melanin in the skin. These include, amongst others, age spots, sun damage, dyschromia and melasma.
The 1927 nm wavelength has a stronger effect on superficial skin structures and can be used specifically to treat such pigment irregularities. At the same time, the treatment can support skin renewal and help to achieve a fresher, more even complexion.
Precise planning is particularly important in the case of melasma, as the skin can be sensitive to irritation. That is why, in our practice, we place particular emphasis on careful diagnosis, realistic goals and a suitable accompanying skincare regime.
FAQ
Questions?
The MultiFrax treatment combines precision with good suitability for everyday life. As the skin is not ablated over a large area, the recovery time is usually significantly shorter than with more aggressively ablative procedures.
Possible benefits include:
- non-ablative treatment without extensive skin removal
- two wavelengths for different layers of the skin
- can be individually tailored to skin type, condition and treatment goal
- suitable for improving skin texture, pores, pigmentation and fine lines
- Stimulation of the body’s own collagen and elastin production
- Usually short downtime
- Can be easily combined with other aesthetic dermatological procedures
- Natural skin improvement rather than artificial alteration
A detailed consultation takes place before the treatment. We examine your skin, discuss your wishes and assess whether MultiFrax is suitable for your needs. We will also explain what results are realistic and whether combining it with other procedures might be advisable.
Before the laser treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed. Depending on the area and intensity, an anaesthetic cream may be applied. We then move the laser in a controlled manner over the areas of skin to be treated. The energy output is adjusted to suit each individual.
During the treatment, you may feel warmth, a tingling sensation or a slight burning sensation. Immediately afterwards, the skin is usually reddened and may feel warm or tight. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, slight swelling, dryness or fine flaking may also occur.
Following the MultiFrax treatment, your skin needs protection and care. For a few days, the skin barrier should be supported and not further irritated. We will provide you with personalised recommendations for this.
The following are particularly important:
- consistent use of sun protection with a high sun protection factor
- avoiding intense sun exposure and sunbeds
- gentle cleansing and soothing skincare
- no harsh exfoliants or irritating active ingredients immediately after the treatment
- make-up only as recommended and depending on your skin condition
- no heat treatments such as saunas or intense exercise immediately afterwards
The exact aftercare routine depends on the intensity of the treatment and your skin type.
That depends on the condition of the skin and the treatment objective. For minor skin changes, just a few sessions may be sufficient. For acne scars, pigmentation problems or more pronounced structural changes, a course of treatment may be advisable.
Depending on the condition of your skin, the first changes may become visible after just a short time – for example, your skin may feel fresher or your complexion may appear more even. However, the structural improvement develops gradually, as collagen production and skin renewal take time.
The full effect often becomes apparent over several weeks. Several sessions may be advisable to achieve the best possible result. The number of treatments recommended depends on your initial assessment, the treatment goal and your skin’s response.
At our practice, we do not view skin ageing and skin quality in isolation. Changes to the skin occur at various levels and develop differently for each individual. For this reason, MultiFrax can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as a component of a broader treatment plan.
Depending on the findings, it may be advisable to combine it with other procedures, such as medical skincare, peels, biostimulators, injectables or other laser treatments. It is not the individual method that is crucial, but the precise selection and coordination of the procedures.
