Frax

The Frax 1550 is a fractional, non-ablative laser treatment designed to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. Powered by the Nordlys system, it offers a cutting-edge alternative to the popular Fraxel device.

In clinical trials, 100% of patients reported improvements in skin texture, making it a highly effective option for those seeking smoother, more youthful skin. The Frax 1550 emits infrared laser energy that targets water within surface skin cells, gently vaporizing them. Because the laser is fractionated—meaning it treats only 25% to 40% of the skin at a time—it allows for faster healing and minimal downtime.
