Treatment Overview
Anti-Aging Fraxel Rejuvenation is a fractional non-ablative laser resurfacing treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics to combat early and moderate signs of aging such as fine lines, dullness, uneven tone, and mild laxity. Unlike aggressive CO₂ lasers, Fraxel Rejuvenation uses precise microthermal beams to stimulate dermal collagen production and resurface aging skin, with minimal downtime.
It is ideal for patients seeking smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin without the recovery period of stronger ablative lasers. In Korea, this treatment is often enhanced with regenerative add-ons such as exosomes, PRP, or PN for faster healing and long-term rejuvenation.
