Laser Skin Resurfacing in Austin
Smoother texture, softer fine lines and more even-looking tone—planned around your skin, not a preset package.
Grace’s MultiFrax 1550 + 1927 nm fractional laser addresses selected sun damage, uneven texture, pigment and acne scarring.

Actual Grace result · MultiFrax
See the change in skin quality.
This Grace patient’s result shows why we start with the concern: resurfacing can refine texture and tone, but it is not a substitute for treating laxity or volume loss.
See more resultsIs resurfacing the right category?
Treat the concern you actually have.
MultiFrax works on skin quality; structural laxity, volume loss and some pigment conditions call for other options.
Rough texture & pores
Uneven surface and enlarged-looking pores.
Fine lines
Early photoaging and crepey surface texture.
Atrophic acne scarring
Appropriate depressed scars after individual assessment.
When another treatment may fit better
- Structural laxity
- Forma or Morpheus8 Face
- Pigment-dominant or melasma-type
- Lutronic Spectra or a pigment consultation
- Volume loss or folds
- Injectables, not resurfacing
- Under-eye bag, festoon or hollow
- A structural concern—not a resurfacing problem
Goal: surface + deeper remodeling · Grace patient
Morpheus8 Face may be staged with MultiFrax when deeper RF remodeling and surface resurfacing both matter.
MultiFrax technology
Two wavelengths. Two different jobs.
MultiFrax is an FDA-cleared fractional non-ablative diode laser. Its two water-absorbed wavelengths act at different levels; energy and density are tailored to your skin. Published depths for other devices are not fixed MultiFrax specifications.
1550 nm laser
Texture + deeper remodeling
Reaches more deeply than 1927 nm. Its fractional thermal zones support dermal remodeling for texture, fine lines and appropriate acne or surgical scars.
1927 nm laser
Tone + superficial photodamage
Absorbed more superficially. Relevant to superficial photodamage, freckles, sun spots and selected pigmented lesions—after pigment is assessed.
The wavelengths may be used separately or together, depending on your skin and treatment goals.

Goal: selected sun spots + tone

Goal: neck texture + fine lines
Goal: overall facial skin quality
What treatment is actually like
What treatment and recovery feel like
Fractional energy treats microscopic zones while surrounding skin remains untreated to support healing.
During treatment
Sensation varies with wavelength and intensity; your provider explains the comfort plan first.
Afterward
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, dryness, rough texture, bronzing or flaking can occur. Non-ablative does not mean no downtime.
Aftercare
Follow your provider’s guidance on skincare, makeup and sun protection while the skin barrier recovers.
When change appears
Surface changes may emerge as skin settles; remodeling can continue over time. One visit or a series depends on your response.
Austin sun + pigment planning
The treatment plan has to account for UV exposure and pigment behavior.
Recent sun
A tan or sunburn may mean waiting until skin has settled.
Before + after
Reliable UV protection matters year-round in Austin.
Pigment history
Skin tone and prior post-inflammatory pigmentation guide settings and aftercare.
Melasma, sun spots and post-inflammatory pigment need different plans. For pigment-dominant concerns, Lutronic Spectra or a pigment consultation may be more appropriate.
Comparing resurfacing options
MultiFrax, Fraxel, MOXI, CO₂ and RF microneedling are not the same treatment.
Similar wavelengths do not make devices or recovery interchangeable.

Texture, fine lines, selected pigment and photodamage, appropriate acne or surgical scars.

Fraxel DUAL
Different branded 1550 + 1927 nm fractional non-ablative platform
Same wavelength classes as MultiFrax—but a different device, beam delivery, settings and protocols.
Solta informationGrace does not offer
MOXI
1927 nm fractionated non-ablative diode laser
Positioned by Sciton as a gentler option for early sun damage and skin-quality maintenance. MultiFrax is not MOXI.
Sciton informationGrace does not currently offer
Fractional CO₂ / ablative Er:YAG
Ablative or fractional ablative laser resurfacing
Removes microscopic columns or layers of tissue, with a generally more intensive recovery, when an ablative approach is indicated.
Grace does not offer as current resurfacing
Morpheus8 Face
Fractional radiofrequency microneedling—not a laser
When texture overlaps with deeper remodeling or laxity concerns.

Evidence & sources
What the evidence can—and cannot—tell us
MultiFrax has its own FDA device clearance. Published 1550 and 1927 nm studies support selected texture and photodamage uses but do not predict your MultiFrax result. Higher treatment density can raise pigment risk; evidence in Fitzpatrick VI skin remains limited.
