Fraxel® fractionated carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are one of the latest advances in non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments.  Dramatic results are possible with this laser modality.
The Fraxel® re:pair 135 is an aggressive CO2 laser that is typically only used by an experienced plastic surgeon. This laser excels at treating deeper wrinkles, more severe textural changes from sun damage, wrinkles, blotchiness, acne scars, and surgical or traumatic scars. It can also be used on the delicate eyelid skin and around the mouth.
The Fraxel® re:pair 600 CO2 laser uses the same technology as the Fraxel® 135 but with a change in how deep the laser beams penetrates the skin and how much surface area each beam covers. Whereas the standard Fraxel® 135 laser goes deep in more narrow beams; the Fraxel® 600 has shallow penetration in wider beams capable of treating up to to 70% of the surface in a single treatment.
Designed for pigmentation issues, texture and tone irregularities and the hated crepy skin, the Fraxel® 600 treats skin types I, II and III and is suitable for treating the face, neck, chest, hands and upper arms.
Dilated blood vessels (telangectasias), or that reddish blotchy discoloration on the neck (poikiloderma) are typically treated with a medical (not salon) grade IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device.
