Fractional laser resurfacing
Fraxel
Fractional laser resurfacing treats small zones of skin rather than the entire surface at once.
Explore the treatmentUnderstanding the treatment
Laser energy forms microscopic treatment zones. Fraxel models and other fractional lasers differ; the clinic's current model and wavelength need confirmation.
The choice of treatment depends on the examination, your medical history and the area being treated. Results vary from person to person.
What your doctor assesses
Scar type, texture or pigment as the main concern
Skin tone, tanning, cold-sore history and medications
Device, intensity and realistic scar-improvement limits
Recovery & things to consider
Recovery varies with the laser and settings. Redness, peeling or swelling may occur; sun protection and the prescribed skin-care plan are important.
