The laser resurfacing CO2 is done under topical anesthesia. The fraxel laser works layer by layer of the skin, vaporizing the water from the cells of the epidermis and forcing the tissue to regenerate itself.

Through its application, the laser causes thousands of micro lesions causing a production of collagen and elastin, the new skin replaces the damaged tissue improving its surface, causing an almost complete renewal.

The number of sessions varies according to the depth of the expression lines, scars or blemishes to be treated. In general, between 1-3 sessions are usually necessary, however, the deeper they are, a greater number of sessions  can be expected.
