Every now and then, we wait for a miracle in life. Fraxel laser is undoubtedly one such miracle of invention. With myriad applications to improve our skin and hair, the fraxel laser treatment is no less than a boon. It is a new type of laser treatment that differs from other types by using many parallel beams of light instead of the typical single beam of the usual lasers, the light of microscopic diameter arrive in fractions to the skin. The effect is to stimulate the regeneration of natural skin components inside the skin, generating a skin with a better tone and radiance.
The laser columns penetrate the deeper layers of the skin causing microscopic lesions that stimulate the regenerative response of the body itself, filling the affected area with substances of the body such as collagen, which has been lost over time.
