Fractional laser

 

Dr. David Scheffer of the Scheffer Center for Aesthetic Surgery and Laser in New York City explains that the fractional laser depends on the treatment of part of the skin, and then depends on the body to do the rest of the treatment as a curative reaction.

Since the treatment leaves the surrounding tissues intact, it gives cases to a matrix of treated skin alongside the untreated skin, which helps to heal much faster with less recovery time but still delivers excellent results.

Although it may seem like it is erasing decades from your face, it is only a laser treatment that can cost anywhere from $ 500 to $ 5,000, but there are some things that you should know about fractional lasers before trying it out.
