Does Fraxel work on darker skin tones?
Since African-American, Latino and Asian skin types generally have more melanin (pigment) than Caucasian skin, they’ve traditionally been at a higher risk for discoloration and scarring with conventional laser treatments. But unlike these other procedures, Fraxel treatment is safe and effective for all skin colors. Because it precisely targets microscopic areas deep in the skin, Fraxel treatment leaves surrounding tissue intact – without scarring or increased pigmentation.
