Fraxel Repair is an ablative laser system that helps tighten the skin. It creates numerous microscopic columns of light which vaporize the surrounding tissue, reducing its overall surface area. The process also heats lower layers of the skin, which induces the formation of new collagen fibers.
As opposed to the older CO2 laser, Fraxel Repair only targets the areas that require attention. This results in significantly less downtime.
It is an excellent treatment for the following conditions:
Wrinkles
Fine lines
Furrows
Skin texture
Pigmented lesions (age/sun spots)
Sun-induced redness
Saggy or wrinkly eyelids
Acne scars and other forms of scarring
