on Fractional Skin Resurfacing What is Fractional Skin Resurfacing?
Palomar developed and patented Fractional Photothermolysis to create a revolutionary treatment now known to the public as Fraxel. Palomars new Lux1540 Fractional Handpiece is a generational leap in “fractional” treatment that produces thousands of deep, tiny columns in your skin, called microthermal treatment zones. The Lux1540 is “fractional” in that it intensively treats old epidermal pigment cells without affecting any of the surrounding tissue, which reduces healing time and promotes the skin’s natural process for creating new, healthier tissue to replace the damaged cells. Unlike a CO2 laser or the 2940 Erbium lasers, the 1540 is non-ablative and has minimal recovery time.
