Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing

WHAT IS FRAXEL LASER SKIN RESURFACING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Fraxel works by stimulating new, healthy skin using safe and controlled levels of laser energy across target areas of the face and body. Specific wavelengths of laser energy are delivered to the skin’s dermis through microscopic columns that penetrate deeply but still leave the surrounding tissue undamaged. Because only a ‘fraction’ of the skin is exposed to the reparative laser energy, healing and recovery post-treatment is swift given the depth and intensity of the procedure. The entire process works to stimulate newer, healthier skin and triggers natural skin healing and reparative processes that will help you look years younger.

WHAT AREAS OF THE SKIN CAN BE TREATED BY FRAXEL LASER SKIN RESURFACING?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FRAXEL LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
