3 ways the Fraxel BB laser can improve your complexion

Nobody has perfect skin. Some people have blemishes or hormonal pigmentation; others wish they had smaller-looking pores or are worried about fine lines around their eyes.

However, new technology like the Fraxel BB laser can help improve your complexion and give you a healthy and youthful glow. Find out more about how it works and what skin problems it can solve!

What is a Fraxel BB laser?

This is a non-ablative laser, which means it doesn’t damage the skin surface. It is gentler than other laser treatments, has minimal redness and swelling, and causes less down time.

The laser is able to break down pigments and encourage the skin to produce new, healthy cells.

Fraxel BB laser for fine lines

Laser resurfacing breaks down damaged skin cells so your skin looks smoother and younger. The Clifford Clinic can also combine laser with other non-invasive treatments like fillers to treat deeper lines and folds. By restoring firmness and your natural glow, these can help you look your best at any age.

Fraxel BB laser for Acne scars

Laser treatments are one of the most effective ways of treating acne scars. They break down the pigments in acne spots, and help reduce the “orange peel” texture. The Clifford Clinic also combines lasers with other acne treatments to prevent and manage reoccurring breakouts.

Fraxel BB laser for skin tone

Many factors can contribute to a dull and uneven complexion. You may sun damage, age spots, freckles or melasma. Or your skin just looks unhealthy and worn out, because of sun exposure or an unhealthy lifestyle.

Laser resurfacing breathes new life into your skin. Your skin tone becomes more even, and damaged cells are replaced with healthy cells. You get an even, healthy complexion – almost like you applied your favourite BB cream!

 What to expect from a Fraxel BB treatment

• Does it hurt? Most people say their skin feels warm during the treatment, but tie discomfort is minimized with numbing cream and blasts of cool air.
• How many treatments will I need? It depends on your skin condition and the results you want to achieve.
• What is the downtime? There is very minimal swelling and redness. This subsides after a day or two, and can be hidden with makeup.
