Since Fraxel treatment is so precise, it's safe and effective on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest, and hands; in addition to the face. You can expect two levels of results, immediate and progressive.  Immediately after initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter, and tone will start to become even.  Progressive results occur over the next three months as the deeper layers of skin.
