NON-SURGICAL COSMETIC PROCEDURES

Fraxel Laser Treatment

How it works

This non-surgical skin treatment works by invigorating the skin’s own healing processes. Every person’s skin is unique by design – the lifestyle, personal history, and environment of a person will contribute to the appearance of the skin. Stress and pollution can deteriorate the look and feel of the skin.

Fraxel treatments target a small percentage of the skin, which leaves the remaining skin to heal the treated areas, speeding up the healing process. The Fraxel laser targets thousands of microscopic areas of the skin, pinpointing the laser beans to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. This treatment works with the body’s own healing capabilities to rejuvenate the skin.

Effectiveness

As the laser treatment is so precise, Fraxel can be used on the neck, hands, and chest, or anywhere where the delicate skin appears old and tired. Two levels of effectiveness can be expected: the immediate results show tightening, brighter, and even tone being restored. Progressive results include the healing of the deeper layers of the skin, restoring the long-term youthfulness of the skin.

What can you expect?

The benefits of Fraxel treatment include a smoother skin appearance, improved tone and texture, reduced wrinkles, and the improved appearance of acne.

Fraxel treatment is not a painful skin laser treatment. A topical anaesthetic is applied, which minimises the discomfort. Most patients claim that this feeling is akin to mild sunburn.
