Fraxel in Los Angeles, CA

Fraxel laser skin treatments systematically improve skin tone, smoothing out fine lines and evening out skin discoloration, by treating minute sections of the skin. This type of selective treatment causes collagen to regenerate while not affecting the rest of the skin’s surface.

The laser dives deep into the dermis in thousands of small dots on the face, leaving the surrounding areas unharmed. These unaffected areas help speed up the healing process while the treated areas promote skin improvement (rejuvenation). The key difference between Fraxel laser skin treatment and more traditional ablative methods is that Fraxel does not affect all of the skin at once. Instead of a blanket surface treatment, Fraxel laser treats pinpoint areas on the skin, penetrating small fractions by 400 to 700 microns – just deep enough to stimulate significant collagen regeneration.

These treated areas begin to regenerate collagen and the surrounding non-affected areas help to speed up the recovery session. In addition, Fraxel can be used on any part of the body – it is not just for facial treatments. Delicate skin suffering from damage due to sun exposure on the neck or chest can be treated easily. Any part of the body is appropriate. The end result is impressive change to fine lines and wrinkles and a smoothing out of skin tone and color with virtually no down time.
