The Fraxel Restore Laser treatment is offered by Colorado Springs dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians as a treatment for skin resurfacing, sun damage, age spots, stretch marks, acne scarring, melasma, and wrinkle reduction.

Fraxel laser treatments are often administered with the use of a topical anesthetic cream to eliminate any discomfort. The Fraxel laser has been shown in some studies to eliminate precancerous cells and prevent skin cancer.

How does the Fraxel fractional resurfacing laser work?

During treatment, the Fraxel Restore Laser produces thousands of tiny columns of treatment in the skin, known as microscopic treatment zones, or MTZs.

The Fraxel laser penetrates deep into the dermis to eliminate old epidermal pigmented cells. For every microscopic zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.

Tips for Colorado Springs Consumers Considering Fraxel Laser Treatment
