Laser Resurfacing with Multifrax
Multifrax fractional laser resurfacing improves texture, scarring, and sun damage with far less downtime than traditional ablative lasers. Available in Leland, NC.
About Laser Resurfacing with Multifrax
Multifrax delivers laser energy in microscopic columns, treating a fraction of the skin at each session while the untouched surrounding tissue speeds healing. The result is meaningful improvement in texture, fine lines, scarring, and sun damage without the prolonged recovery of full ablative resurfacing — our before-and-after gallery includes real Multifrax results from patients treated in our office. It is a strong fit for people who want visible change but cannot step away from work or life for a week.

Duration
Progressive improvement over 3-6 months as collagen continues to remodel
Maintenance
