FRAX 1550
We offer non-ablative fractional skin resurfacing laser (Frax 1550) to address a wide range of skin resurfacing or scarring concerns. Frax 1550 is a fractional non-ablative laser that has very few side effects and less downtime than ablative lasers. The Frax 1550 is specific for addressing:
- Non-ablative skin resurfacing (including but not limited to the treatment of skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles)
- Treatment of stretch marks
- Treatment of acne scars – ice-pick scars, rolling scars, boxcar scars
- Treatment of surgical or trauma scars
- Treatment of improving and repairing sun damage
- Treatment of minimizing age spots
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
Ellipse Frax 1550nm laser treatment works by creating very small, very controlled islands of heat damage, surrounded by healthy normal skin. When the body repairs this controlled damage, collagen in the whole of the treated area is replaced, reducing those fine lines, and leaving the skin fresher.
At the same time, the surface of the skin is renewed, improving the pigment. Research has shown that a combination treatment using Ellipse narrowband light (Ellipse IPL) followed by the Frax 1550 produces an even better result with less treatments. And because the surface of the skin is left intact, you recover very quickly.
