How Fraxel Treament Works Wonders
Fraxel treatment is able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skins surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells.
Your personalized Fraxel treatment plan
With Fraxel treatment, your physician can develop a treatment plan tailored to your skins individual needs. Fraxel treatments can target between approximately 5 and 10 percent of the skin’s surface, leaving the remaining 50 to 95 percent available to quickly heal the treated areas. Expect two levels of results, immediate and progressive. Immediately after initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and tone will start to become even. Progressive results occur over the next three to six months as the deeper layers of skin continue to heal.
Aggressive treatments require fewer sessions and results in more post treatment side effects – meaning a few days of social downtime. Less aggressive treatments accomplish the same results, with a few more treatment sessions and less pronounced side effects.
