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.

We will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream approximately 45 minutes before your Frax laser treatment. The procedure itself takes less than half an hour. A thin layer of gel is applied, then the treatment is performed, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace the damaged cells. You can expect to experience a slight prickling sensation during treatment.
What is the recovery like after Frax laser resurfacing in NYC?

You can apply specialized makeup to camouflage your healing skin during the final phase of healing.

The Nordlys Frax 1550 is an innovative fractional laser technology that works to slow the process of skin aging and restore firmer, healthier, more youthful skin. This laser treatment creates tiny, controlled islands of heat damage in the skin, surrounded by healthy tissue. As the body repairs the controlled damage, it replaces collagen in the entire treatment area, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and creating a fresher look. This treatment also improves pigment and renews the surface of the skin.
