How does Fraxel work?
The Fraxel is an FDA cleared laser which produces thousands of tiny columns of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. This “fractional” treatment approach allows the skin to heal much faster than if all the skin was treated at once. Following each treatment, the body’s natural healing process creates new healthy tissue to replace skin imperfections. The laser refines the skin in a precisely controlled fashion. A treatment course consists of 3-5 procedures, spaced at least one week apart. The Fraxel Laser produces a gentle remodeling of collagen under your skin’s surface. Improvements in your appearance will continue for up to six months, or more. What is the treatment like? We begin by imaging your skin with the Visia Complexion Analysis System, a computerized digital imaging system that will not only establish your baseline image, but it has the capability of seeing under the surface of the skin to look for changes that are not yet apparent
