The revolutionary new Fraxel 1927 laser allows a "fractional" approach to reduce or eliminate pigment on ANY skin type, on any part of the body, with only one to three treatments.

I am very excited about finally being able to offer an effective treatment for melasma and hyperpigmentation, especially on Asian and darker skin types. This is a truly revolutionary laser."
