Fractional laser
A fractional laser only treats a small fraction of the skin by removing micro columns of skin and leaving intact skin around them. The intact skin allows for faster healing. Treats acne and scars, age spots, wrinkles. Expect social downtime of at least a week depending on which laser is used. Great results by 12 weeks. http://www.omahacosmeticsurgery.com/pearl-fractional-laser-treatment/
