ABC 12 News:
Fraxel Laser Video
Fraxel Laser Treatment is designed to target aging and damaged skin by creating microscopic "wounds" within the targeted areas that penetrate well beneath the skin's outermost layer. In this way, Fraxel Laser treatments trigger the body's own natural production of new collagen Collagen: the main protein in connective tissue, including skin. Collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity. Its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. and skin cells. Fraxel laser successfully removes damaged epidermal Epidermis: the outer most layer of the skin tissue while stimulating the growth of new collagen to improve skin tone and texture.

Fraxel Laser Efficacy and Safety
Fraxel laser combines the impact of ablative lasers Ablative lasers direct intense laser energy onto the surface of the skin. This energy heats water within the skin, causing both the water and the tissue to vapourize. Fraxel is a fractional, non-ablative laser. with the gentleness of non-ablative lasers, healing occurs so quickly that there is very little downtime for patients. Unlike older lasers that removed the top layers of skin, the Fraxel procedure produces tiny, microscopic sites of heat treated areas separated by areas of unaffected, healthy skin. The spared tissue between treatment zones contains healthy skin cells that promote rapid wound healing. Fraxel Therapy is specially designed to alter only 15-20% of the skin tissue at each treatment. Fraxel laser is FDA approved and Health Canada licensed.
