What is Fraxel Laser?
Fraxel Laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns. Utilizing fractional laser technology, it targets damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing process, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
How does Fraxel Laser Treatment Work?
Fraxel treatments are delivered using various types of lasers, each designed for specific skin concerns. The most commonly used are the Fraxel Dual and Fraxel Repair. The Dual laser is typically used for pigmentation, scarring, and skin rejuvenation, while the Repair laser is a more intensive treatment, often used for deeper wrinkles and more severe skin damage.
Who is a Candidate for Fraxel Laser Treatment?
Ideal candidates for Fraxel Laser treatments include individuals looking to address specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, scars, uneven pigmentation, or sun damage. Suitable for various skin types, this treatment is perfect for those seeking a non-invasive solution to achieve a smoother, clearer, and more youthful complexion.
