The highly precise lasers used in Fraxel treatments have the ability to treat nearly every body part. Patients regularly use Fraxel procedures to fix damaged or aging skin on the face; most information regarding the laser based treatment explains effects on the face more than anything.
Fraxel Treatments
The lasers used in Fraxel procedures work to purposely damage layers of skin. The patient then goes through a natural healing process in which new skin grows back and replaces the small, unnoticeable wounds.
Areas Treated
This treatment works on areas of the body that have small, moderate and even severe wrinkling or lines caused by aging. Popular treatment body regions include the face, arms, neck and upper back. Usually, these areas encounter the most sunlight exposure which often causes sun spots and uneven pigmentation.
Uses
The Fraxel treatment works to rid the body of blotchy sun spots or freckling caused by an over exposure to the sun. In some patients, uneven pigmentation happens as a result of conditions in which blood vessels become damaged or broken. Some Fraxel treatments use more intensive laser treatments, which still work in the same way, but ultimately result in more down time.
The multiple Fraxel processes made available to patients work to match several conditional treatments on almost all areas of the body. Contacting an administering professional will provide the most definitive information towards choosing the correct procedure.
