What is FRAX laser resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive, cutting-edge skin treatment that reduces wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes. Simultaneously, it tightens skin and balances skin tone and pigmentation.
Laser resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin while the underlying skin is heated. This stimulates the growth of collagen, your body’s building block for new, fresh and elastic skin. Your old skin will peel away over about a week, and the new skin formed beneath will be smoother and firmer.
