Fraxel is a versatile laser treatment for skin. The word "fraxel" is derived from "fractional". This has a special meaning: this means that whenever you have a fraxel treatment of the skin, only a "fraction" of the skin is treated, about 20-25%. So, it takes several sessions to add up to 100% of the skin surface being treated. Since only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing time is brief, and there usually isn't prolonged downtime. Fraxel is useful for treating the following conditions:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Age spots/sunspots
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Melasma (mask of pregnancy)
- Discoloration and uneven pigmentation
- Sun-induced redness
- Irregular texture
- Actinic Keratoses (precancerous lesions)
In short, Fraxel treatment creates smoother, fresher, healthier and younger-looking skin … improved tone, texture and pore size … and the softening of wrinkles and lines. All with minimal discomfort or downtime. All skin types may be treated with Fraxel, regardless of color or problem.
