Fraxel Laser Surgery

Fraxel laser surgery is a form of laser therapy that penetrates beneath the skin's surface to target and repair deep tissue damage. This type of treatment stimulates the skin's own natural healing process by causing targeted damage. The skin then begins to repair itself, resulting in healthy new skin in place of the old, damaged skin. Fraxel laser surgery is often used to reduce wrinkles caused by age, stress, sun exposure, smoking or other factors. Fraxel treatments can generally improve skin tone and texture, and may result in reduced pores and fewer visible wrinkles. In addition, fraxel laser surgery can be used to repair skin imperfections such as acne scars. There is minimal downtime with fraxel laser treatments and the side effects are also generally mild.
