The Palomar™ Fractional Laser is part of a new generation of laser treatments called fractional skin resurfacing. These lasers are similar in that they only treat a portion of the skin, 20 to 25 percent, during each session. However, there are subtle differences in the lasers manufactured by Palomar™ and Reliant’s Fraxel®. With the Palomar™ laser, no messy tinted guide lotion or topical anesthetic is required, making the treatment session very pleasant and easy for the patient. The Palomar™ laser contains a unique sapphire cooling tip, which cools the skin and minimizes discomfort during treatment.
