Fraxel Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny columns of treatment in your skin known as “micro thermal treatment zones”. This treatment eliminates the old epidermal pigmented cells and penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel Laser leaves untouched. For every micro thermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once. This allows the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
