FRAX 1550: Laser Skin Resurfacing Overview
Why Laser Skin Resurfacing Matters
Skin resurfacing is a transformative aesthetic procedure designed to improve the texture, tone, and overall quality of your skin. Over time, factors like sun exposure, aging, and environmental stressors can lead to skin imperfections such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars. Skin resurfacing treatments target these concerns, helping you achieve smoother, more youthful skin.

FRAX Is Safer Laser Skin Resurfacing
The Nordlys laser by Candela is a gentle multi-applicator laser system that uses laser and light treatments that use specific wavelengths to target skin concerns including pore size, redness, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, texture problems, mild skin laxity issues, and dull skin. FRAX was specifically created for skin resurfacing.
“Frax” is a shorthand term for fractionated or fractional laser treatment, which breaks a high energy laser into smaller micro injuries rather than one large beam that creates excessive injuries and downtime. The FRAX system allows for many of the great benefits found in ablative (meaning it removes skin) CO2 laser systems, and instead accomplishes very similar results with less pain, downtime, and fewer risks of side-effects like Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (“PIH”).
Because the system creates less damage, we are able to use FRAX for on almost anyone by specifically tailoring the treatment toward individual skin types and concerns. FRAX does not fully replace CO2, because it still has many great uses when properly selecting patients. FRAX offers many of the same compelling results without the many risks associated with fully ablative laser resurfacing treatments.
