How Do Treatments Work?

Fraxel laser treatments are effective in reversing the signs of aging by stimulating the production of collagen. Treatments also help in repairing damaged or dead skin cells. Healthy skin cells are not damaged from receiving fraxel laser treatments. Unlike many other skin resurfacing laser treatments, fraxel treatments will not burn skin's surface. These revolutionary treatments work by using fractional lasers to provide resurfacing of the skin. Multiple micro-beams create fractional lasers that lightly penetrate damaged areas of skin. These areas of skin are stimulated during the treatment. Stimulation produces collagen which, in turn, causes the skin to become fuller and healthier in the treated area. Fraxel laser treatments are non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures. Fraxel laser treatments work wonderfully in smoothing lines and wrinkles. These treatments can also be used to correct other skin issues. Discoloration, freckles, sun damage and age spots can be treated as well. Most all individuals receive results that have an overall natural look.
