Fraxel is a computer that uses laser energy to treat the skin. Fraxel is a safe, non invasive treatment. Fraxel has been safely used in the US and Virginia and is FDA approved. By report of the manufacturer, it has more FDA clearances than any other laser in its class. There have been more than 30,000 skin tissue samples evaluated for efficacy and safety.

To understand how Fraxel works, you need to learn a little bit about lasers and a little bit about skin. Think of Fraxel as a device that delivers thousands of microscopic columns of light into the skin. Each diameter and depth of penetration of the laser beam is controlled by the computer. The laser columns penetrate into the skin and create microscopic zones of injury. These column areas then heal over the next few days. This stimulation process reverses some of the aging damage that has occured on the skin. As the new skin grows in, it is fresh, younger, smoother and healthier.

Understanding skin anatomy and function is best to appreciate how lasers like Fraxel and Titan work. The skin anatomy page really goes into the layers of the skin, but we will cover it quickly again. The most superficial layer of the skin is the epidermis. There is a layer under this skin layer called the dermis. In the dermis, there are networks of collagen and elastin. These proteins are responsible for strength, support, and tone. Sun damage and age tend to break down the dermal layer and thus the skin looses its sheen and wrinkles. If this layer is stimulated with the Fraxel at the superficial depths, it creates these microscopic column injuries. The bodies natural healing processes from the Fraxel is what allows the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself to a younger condition. Because the Fraxel columns are so precise only a fraction of the skin is treated with each pass, leaving the other areas of skin, untouched and thereby able to aide in the healing of the skin. This allows the skin to heal and turn over much faster than by nature alone.

No matter your age, sex or skin color, Fraxel laser treatment can uncover your youthful skin buried within.

For men and women of all ages.
Whether you're in your 30s and just starting to see wrinkles ...
Or in your 60s or older with deeper lines and loose skin ...
Or somewhere in between ...
The Fraxel family of treatments has an option for your unique skin.

For all skin colors.
Since African-American, Latino and Asian skin types generally have more melanin (pigment) than Caucasian skin, they?ve traditionally been at a higher risk for discoloration and scarring with conventional laser treatments. Fraxel treatment is safe and effective for all skin colors. Because it precisely targets microscopic areas deep in the skin, Fraxel treatment leaves surrounding tissue intact ? without scarring or increased pigmentation.

On and off the face.
And because the technology is so precise, Fraxel treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands.
