 We have been talking about
the types
of laser treatment options available to improve appearance. We
started with a brief introduction and in this
part we are talking about different types of
lasers available.
Fraxel Lasers
While non-ablative lasers are popular and demand for them is growing, competition is coming to the market in the form of Fraxel lasers. Non-ablative resurfacing requires a cooling system to avoid visible skin damage which makes it difficult to achieve benefits of optimal resurfacing. Also, the
intensity of non-ablative resurfacing treatment has to be reduced to
prevent
scarring. With Fractional Resurfacing Technology, a new ablative technology,
only a fraction of the skin receives the laser light. The laser delivers a series of microscopic closely spaced laser spots to the skin while simultaneously
preserving normal healthy skin between the laser spots. This preservation of healthy skin results in rapid healing following the laser treatment. Fraxel
lasers strive to achieve the skin improvements obtained with ablative lasers without the associated side effects or downtime.
