Fraxel laser is a medical procedure used to give a new life to your skin by rejuvenating and restoring it by using lasers to create tiny "columns of thermal destruction" that stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells by replacing old and damaged cells. Fraxel therapy is a quick and comfortable laser procedure used for resurfacing and enhancing the overall appearance of your skin.

After applying the topical anesthesia to the skin the handpiece is run over the targeted area. It destroys dead skin cells and boosts the production of newer and healthier cells. The treatment is quick and takes between 20 and 30 minutes.
