What Is Fraxel Laser Treatment?

The Fraxel laser treatment is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that utilizes fractional laser technology to target and improve a wide range of skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, or age spots, Fraxel can help restore your skin’s natural beauty.

Fractional laser skin resurfacing treatments can utilize both the intense energy of ‘ablative’ lasers, or the lower energy of non-ablative lasers. The ablative laser is ideal for those with more severe skin conditions. As redness or flaking may occur following these effective treatments, clients may wish to take ‘social downtime’ or purchase camouflage makeup for a few days following treatment.

Fraxel is a non-surgical anti-aging laser treatment that works by delivering precise, controlled columns of laser energy to the skin’s surface.
