What is the difference between Fraxel and Palomar Fractional Resurfacing?

While both offer fractional skin resurfacing treatments, they are very different in the way that Palomar fractional resurfacing is non-ablative and offers little to no downtime in comparison to the one to two weeks of downtime with Fraxel. The Palomar Fractional laser, needs no blue dye or anesthetic which makes the treatment qicker, and less painful to the client. The Palomar Fractional laser also has a built-in cooling mechanism for the skin so that there is very minor discomfort during treatment. The only side effects are slight redness that normally last less than 24 hours. For mor information please contact jennifer@winterparklaser.com
