Since being approved by the FDA,
fraxel laser has fast become one of the most exciting and popular laser skin treatments. Fraxel laser is an effective form of treatment for a variety of skin problems which include:
- Melasma
- Acne scarring
- Surgical scarring
- Age spots/brown spots
- Skin rejuvenation
Fraxel laser works by removing old epidermal cells from the skin and stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen, resulting in it becoming firmer and more youthful in appearance. Fraxel laser also helps erase excessive pigmentation by producing thousands of tiny columns deep in the skin known as microscopic treatment zones which eliminate old epidermal pigment cells. The reduction in pigment cells results in a reduction in the visible appearance of age spots and the brown patches of melasma.
Additional benefits of fraxel laser treatment include its minimal side effects and the fact that it is suitable for all types of skin colours. After a session of fraxel laser treatment some redness and swelling is common which usually subsides within two to three days. However there is very little risk of scarring or infection with fraxel laser treatment.
