The Best Treatment for Skin Scars in NYC

Why Fraxel® Laser Leads the Way in Skin Renewal

Skin scars—from acne, injuries, or past procedures—can impact self-confidence for years. Many people looking for smoother, clearer skin search for the best treatment for skin scars in NYC, hoping to find a solution that delivers real, visible improvement. Among the most advanced options available today, Fraxel® laser resurfacing stands out not only for scar reduction but also for its powerful skin rejuvenation benefits, especially for mature women and men.

Why Fraxel® Is One of the Most Effective Treatments for Skin Scars

Fraxel® is a fractional resurfacing laser that creates microscopic treatment zones to stimulate collagen, remodel scar tissue, and improve texture. By treating tiny columns of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, it allows for significant improvement with minimal downtime.

Fraxel® helps improve:

  • Acne scars
  • Injury and trauma scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Pigmented and textured scars
  • Uneven tone and rough texture

Fraxel®’s ability to remodel collagen makes it an excellent long-term solution for people wanting smoother, more refined skin.

Fraxel®’s Skin-Rejuvenation Benefits: A Major Part of Dr. Shelton’s Practice

What many people don’t realize is that Fraxel® is not only exceptional for scars—it is also one of the most effective non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments available today. For mature women and men, Fraxel® offers benefits such as:

  • Improvement of sun damage – Fraxel® targets brown spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation caused by years of UV exposure.
  • Reduction of fine lines and early wrinkles – By boosting collagen production, Fraxel® softens fine lines—especially around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth.
  • Smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin – Fraxel® refreshes dull skin, restores luminosity, and improves tone, making it a popular choice for patients wanting natural rejuvenation without surgery.
  • Texture refinement – Wrinkled, coarse, or aged skin becomes noticeably more even and polished.

Because of these rejuvenation effects, Fraxel® plays a major role in Dr. Shelton’s treatment plans for mature patients seeking refreshed, healthy-looking skin.

Fraxel® vs. Other Treatments for Scars & Rejuvenation

Here’s how Fraxel® compares to other common options:

  • Topical creams – Help with pigment, but cannot treat deeper damage.
  • Microneedling – Improves mild texture, but is less powerful than Fraxel® for deeper scars and wrinkles.
  • Chemical peels – Great for surface discoloration; limited for deeper textural issues.
  • CO₂ lasers – Stronger but require lengthy downtime.
  • Fraxel® Laser (balanced solution) – Delivers scar reduction + overall rejuvenation, with manageable downtime—making it a preferred choice for many NYC patients.

What to Expect With Fraxel® for Scarring & Rejuvenation

  • Redness and mild swelling for a few days
  • Skin continues improving over weeks
  • Collagen production increases gradually
  • Scars soften
  • Pigmentation fades
  • Texture becomes smoother
  • Fine lines decrease

Fraxel®’s multi-layer improvement is why people consider it one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for skin renewal.
