Experiencing the benefits of Fraxel laser resurfacing is as easy as calling the Manhattan office of Dr. Ron Shelton
In the early days of cosmetic laser treatments, the CO2 laser was the standard of care. This ablative treatment is still used today, though developments in technology have made it possible for more men and women to address the signs of aging with non-ablative fractional resurfacing.
How fractional lasers work
Fractional laser resurfacing is non-invasive and very effective at rejuvenating skin that has been affected by stress, age, and the environment. The reason that Fraxel has become so popular is because its various lasers reach into the dermis, the deepest layer of skin cells, to achieve long lasting results with minimal, if any, downtime.
In general, fractional laser treatment is intended to target only a portion of the tissue in a problematic area such as the face. It reaches beneath the surface to remove damaged collagen from its starting point. This removal of deep, damaged collagen stimulates the production of healthy new collagen, which promotes accelerated healing.

Fraxel Repair

Fraxel Dual
The latest Fraxel technology directs two wavelengths of light at cells in the dermis. One results in skin tightening and the other reduces the appearance of pigmentation problems by treating the superficial layer of skin.
