Short explanatory clip by Dr. Charles Mok describing what Fraxel laser is used for. The speaker says Fraxel is most commonly used to treat sun damage (brown spots), wrinkles, and general skin aging; it "freshens" skin by producing a new coat of skin and substantially reduces brown spots, though spots can return over time. The speaker emphasizes that ongoing good skincare and topical maintenance are necessary to preserve results; Fraxel can reverse signs of aging and maintenance with topicals can sustain improvements.

What's it used for? Well, it's used most commonly for sun damage, so brown spots, wrinkling, just general aging. So it helps freshen up the skin. That gives you a fresh coat of skin, more or less. And we find that when we treat somebody with fraxel, the brown spots will reduce substantially, but over time, they want to come back. So good skin care is necessary to sort of maintain it. If you don't do fraxel, your skin get worse over the years. If you don't do fraxel and use skincare, you'll slow it down. But if you do fraxel, you actually reverse time and you can maintain it to some degree with topicals.
