Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing

Discover the ability to gently but effectively remove the signs of aging and environmental damage with Fraxel®, a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure that can help you look years younger. Now available at Skin Vitality, Fraxel® can correct wrinkles, pigmented lesions, melasma, acne and surgical scars as well as dramatically improve tone and texture. It is an FDA-cleared treatment that allows you to revitalize your complexion, making your skin look smoother, fresher and more youthful.

The success behind Fraxel® technology is the way in which the device works. The skin in a treated area is exposed to laser energy, but unlike other laser-based skin resurfacing procedures, Fraxel® delivers this energy as microscopic columns which penetrate deeply into the dermis and leave some tissue unaffected. As a result, only a fraction of skin tissue is exposed at any given time, and that is why healing and the recovery process are faster - because only the affected tissue needs to recover from treatment.

What Fraxel® Skin Resurfacing Can Do For You:

Smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and furrows.
Improve skin texture
Erase pigmented lesions such as age or sun spots.
Address general discolouration.
Treat redness resulting from photodamage.
Rejuvenate the eye area, as a non-surgical alternative to cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
Eliminate scars resulting from acne, surgery or trauma.
Target stretchmarks.

Patients are often very happy with the results they achieve.

Answers to Common Questions

How is Fraxel® skin resurfacing different?

Because of the following reasons:

The laser is delivered in microscopic columns, so only some tissue is affected in a targeted area. This allows the treated area to heal faster while still achieving optimum results.
Suitable for all skin types.
The technology targets water, rather than pigment, in the skin. This is unlike other methods of laser skin resurfacing. As a result, darker skin won't be at a higher risk for scarring and discolouration.
