Are there any treatments for sun-damaged or scarred skin besides the Fraxel® SR?
Sun-damaged facial skin has traditionally been treated with with deep peels and laser resurfacing. These procedures are invasive, involve a certain amount of risk and downtime, and cannot be performed on areas other than the face. Certain non-invasive laser treatments used for wrinkles, such as NLite and CoolTouch II lasers, light chemical peels, mcrodermabrasion and photodynamic therapy can be used, but with less permanent or noticeable results.
