FRAXEL PROCEDURE

Health, vibrant and rejuvenated skin gives us all the confidence we need. No matter what your age is, whether you are a man or a woman, looking attractive, makes you feel good too.

Lasers are machines that target and treat certain tissues in your body. The Fraxel® Laser produces thousands of micorscopic heated treatment areas in your skin, which penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, leaving surrounding areas of untreated skin, somewhat like the dots on a grid pattern are surrounded by white area. This is called "fractional" treatment.

The advantage of fractional laser treatment, is that it promotes much faster healing than if the entire area were treated, taking advantage of the body's own natural healing process to create new, healthy skin and collagen in the treated areas. The Fraxel® Laser can greatly improve skin texture, reduce pore size, improve acne scars, lighten unwanted brown spots and skin discolourations, and also rejuvenate the skin of the neck, chest and hands.
