How can the Frax Pro 1550 improve aging skin?
The Frax Pro™ laser rejuvenates* skin by delivering very small, controlled bursts of energy to the skin. The delivered energy stimulates the production of collagen, resurfacing the skin over time.1 The laser is gently rolled across the skin over brief treatment sessions. The surface of the skin is left intact and there is low downtime associated with healing and recovery.2-4
