According to the author, Fraxel laser treatment produces the resurfacing effects of tissue removal, treats pigmentary changes, improves rhytids, and stimulates tissue remodeling. Compared with other classical approaches, it has the advantages of no recovery time, no open wound, few nonresponders, few complications, and the ability to be used in all skin types. Data confirm that improvement with this treatment is substantial but is not yet well defined quantitatively in comparison with laser resurfacing.
