  SKIN RESURFACING: Fraxel
 
 
What is Fraxel® and how does it work?

Fraxel is a laser used to treat damaged and aging skin by harmlessly penetrating the outer layer of skin and resurfacing 15-20% of the skin during each session. This method protects the skin from enduring too much damage at once and eliminates the downtime associated with full scale CO2 or erbium laser resurfacing treatment.

This “fractional” treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.

In an FDA-cleared study of Fraxel treatment of skin around the eyes, patients, investigators, and a review panel of expert dermatologists all reported significant improvements in skin texture, wrinkles, and skin discolorations such as age spots and sun spots.

Whether you have sun damage, wrinkles or other signs of age, Fraxel treatment delivers remarkable results with fast recovery. You can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin — and renewed confidence.

The range of Fraxel treatments vary in aggressiveness, downtime, number of procedures needed and results. Fraxel re:store can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 to 6 treatments. Typically, there is no after treatment wound care with these treatments and downtime is minimal.
