Fraxel® Laser Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that allows you to rediscover the fresh, healthy skin of your youth.

Benefits of Fraxel® Laser Treatment: It Improve texture tone and pore size and Erases unwanted brown spots, it also Smoothes wrinkles around the eyes and acne scars. It rejuvenates your neck, chest and hands with minimal downtime.

So far only two varieties of laser treatment have been available for cosmetic enhancement-ablative and non-ablative. Traditional ablative, which literally means vaporization at a very high temperature, are very effective at destroying unwanted tissue but may have significant side-effects and require a lengthy healing period. Non-fractional non-ablative, on the other hand, have very few side-effects and require almost no healing time, but may involve numerous treatments over many months to achieve only modest results.

At long last, a laser with the potency of ablative treatments and the gentle safety of non-ablative lasers received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration to treat a variety of important cosmetic conditions.

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 and skin cells. And because Fraxel® Laser Treatment combines the impact of ablative lasers with the gentleness of non-ablative lasers, healing occurs so quickly that there is very little downtime for patients.

After several years of studies and mounting evidence of the Fraxel® Laser’s safety and effectiveness, the FDA has cleared this unique new laser to treat the following conditions: Acne Scars, Age Spots/Brown Spots, Melasma (Mask of Pregnancy), Wrinkles Around The Eyes,

Del Erben asked:


A person can suffer from quite a few different skin conditions, but acne blemishes are often the worst. Acne is a serious and very common skin condition, one that most people experience at least some point during their teenage years, but which can also follow some into adulthood and often for the rest of their life.

Acne affects both women and men the same, but it is very important to realize that there are many differences when it comes to how it effects both men and women. For instance, men are more likely than women to have more severe and longer lasting types of acne, and young women are more likely to have intermittent acne due to hormonal changes that are caused by their menstrual cycle and other hormone fluctuating times in their life, such as during pregnancy.

Acne Blemish Laser Treatment

Fortunately, there are quite a few different forms of treatment that are presently available for acne, but one that is rapidly becoming very popular is the acne blemish laser treatment. This acne blemish laser treatment is known to improve overall skin tone and luster as well as get rid of deep scars caused by acne.

The process itself involves using very fine aluminum crystals to create a type of micro dermabrasion effect on the patient’s face or other part of body, and how it works is that after all makeup is removed and the patient’s skin is washed and clean, the power peel will be performed with the laser.

The treatment only takes about a half hour, after which a moisturizer is applied to prevent drying and peeling, and the skin will tend to remain slightly pink for a few days after the acne blemish laser treatment, especially if you have very sensitive skin. The skin is removed layer by layer, which removes the uppermost portion of at least most of the scars, and at the same time, the heat that is being produced by the laser is working to smooth and tighten the skin, so that the remaining parts of the scars will be even less obvious.

This acne blemish laser treatment technique is often combined with other acne treatment methods as well in order to get the very best results possible, and often there will have to be repeat procedures, especially on people who were suffering from severe cases of acne.

Please consult with your doctor before going ahead with the acne blemish laser technique or any other form of acne treatment method. Your doctor will let you know if you are an eligible candidate for the procedure.
