Eliminate Wrinkles
Laser treatments are ideal for treating surface wrinkles and fine lines. Treatments are gentle enough to be used around the eyes, on the cheeks, and at the mouth. By stimulating collagen production, laser treatments help smooth and diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
Improve Skin Texture
Acne scarring and irregular skin texture can affect patients of all skin tones and types. Laser treatments can leave you with smooth skin, and they are gentle enough to be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
A Clearer Complexion
Laser treatments can destroy acne-causing bacteria and improve the appearance of large pores. Patients of all skin tones and types can undergo laser treatments. Treating acne can restore a brighter, clearer complexion.
Sun Spot Improvement
Overexposure to direct sunlight can lead to pigmentation changes in the skin known as sun spots. Fraxel® DUAL laser treatments can break down the damaged cells that cause sun spots. Once healed, your normal pigmentation returns for a more even complexion.
