Q: What do the numbers in Fraxel Restore treatment mean?
A:
Fraxel Restore is capable of going up to 70 mj so the treatment you received may have been with the Fraxel refine. The mj setting is related to the energy used and you set it according to how deeply you want the laser heat to penetrate into the skin. The level refers to the percentage of the skin that is treated. With that said, 18mj is about 700 microns and level 8 treats 23% of the skin.
