Fraxel FTX™ Laser Resurfacing

Good to know
- Density and depth are chosen for your skin type rather than applied as a single setting.
- Expect a few days of pinkness; sun protection afterwards is part of the plan.
- Resurfacing is usually done as a short series rather than a single session.
Treatment is performed by Dr. Meryl Blecker Joerg, M.D., F.A.A.D., a board-certified dermatologist, at Advanced Dermatology, P.C. on Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. Individual experience varies by patient.
