Alias Name
Fraxel Dual Laser

Procedure Detail
Fraxel laser is an efficient laser treatment which changes the texture of all skin types. It is a handheld device which is passed across the skin, while emitting laser energy to the skin surface and below it. This laser energy stimulates the body’s own production of collagen hence promoting rejuvenation of the cells and smoothing of the wrinkles and fine lines in the skin.It tricks the skin into creating new skin and to replace the old skin as the laser creates microscopic injuries to skin and dermis hence promoting self healing and collagen formation in the targeted areas. The surrounding skin remains unharmed and intact.
