I saw that Fraxel received FDA approval of a new version of Fraxel lasers that extends use to the body. What else can Fraxel now do, body slimming?

Fraxel is not for body slimming
No, not body slimming. Fraxel is still used for resurfacing the skin. Specifically Fraxel Re:store. Doctors have used this for neck, hands and arms, and chest. This helps fine lines and brown spots. The newest Fraxel has an additional wavelength that helps remove brown spots better, but is more consistent with a laser peel. The results are preliminary and the settings will be adjusted by physicians as they use it and learn more about it in the next year

Fraxel for the Body
Hi,
It can also cure the common cold, shingles, and diabetes.....just kidding, it can't do that, and Fraxel is not in the business of body slimming. The new platform called "Duel" is a more superficial laser that treats spots on the entire body. Keep away from your Dalmatians.
For body slimming, look into Ulthera, Zeltiq, Zerona, and probably most effective 60 minutes of strenuous working out per day.
Good luck and be well.
