What Is Fraxel Laser Treatment?

Fraxel is a technology called fractional resurfacing, where the injury to the tissue occurs in little pieces. And there's two wavelengths. There's two different lasers inside The Fraxel laser. They actually call the machine the Fraxel dual. And the Fraxel laser targets different layers of the skin. So there's one wavelength that goes very superficial, the outer layer of the skin. So it almost is like giving a very controlled peel to the skin, and that's called a 1927 wavelength. There's one that goes much deeper into the skin, called a 1550 wavelength. The deeper one goes all the way into the dermis. The superficial laser affects the epidermis, outer layer of the skin, and that actually peels off brown spots, improves texture, and makes the skin a lot smoother. The deeper wavelength treats acne scars and wrinkles.
