Fraxel
Fraxel
Fraxel (/ˈfræksəl/) is a non-invasive laser therapy providing a wide array of treatments to address many forms of aging, customized to each patient's needs and concerns, many requiring minimal recovery time. It's a perfect solution for people who want their skin to look younger, but don’t want to look plastic or fake and can’t afford a lot of time away from work or their social life.
Etymology
The term "Fraxel" is a portmanteau of "fractional" and "pixel". This is a reference to the technology's approach of treating a fraction of skin at a time, similar to how a digital image is made up of individual pixels.
Procedure
The Fraxel treatment is a form of laser resurfacing that uses a device to deliver a laser beam divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones that target a fraction of the skin at a time. This is analogous to a photographic image being enhanced or altered pixel by pixel.
