FRAXEL OVERVIEW | THE FRAXEL LASERS

3 VERSATILE FRAXEL LASER TREATMENTS WITH REMARKABLE RESULTS AND MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Now more than ever, patients want healthy, natural, glowing skin with minimal disruption to daily life. And just as patients want treatments that fit their lifestyle, physicians want solutions that fit their practice. Fraxel laser treatment is the answer. The lasers in the Fraxel family of products–including two non-ablative laser systems and one ablative CO2 laser system–balance results with efficacy and downtime.

The versatility of the product line ensures that patients can choose—and physicians can offer—the best laser skin resurfacing for various stages in life.

Fraxel technology offers the best of both worlds
While conventional ablative treatments such as bulk CO2 lasers and Erbium:YAG lasers can be effective, they're often associated with significant side effects and downtime. Typical non-ablative treatments, meanwhile, spare the epidermis to minimize side effects and downtime, but they commonly require numerous treatments to produce only modest results.

Fraxel technology is a revolutionary solution. Thanks to the unique, fractional pattern of thermal damage, Fraxel lasers deliver the best of both worlds: dramatic results and predictable recovery. All with advanced technology, safety, ease of use and a great return on investment.

Please review the table below for an overview on the Fraxel family of lasers, and visit the Fraxel Products section for more information on each laser.
