What is Fraxel Laser Treatment?

A noticeably younger look without surgery

Fraxel® treatment improves tone, texture and radiance for ageing, sun-damaged or scarred skin.

Fraxel® is for people who want to look younger without dramatic changes or extended downtime.

Fraxel® laser treatments target ageing and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodelling of collagen. And since the laser only treats a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes very rapid healing. Fraxel® treatment resurfaces your skin by stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.
