The Secret to More Youthful, Radiant Skin
Fall is a great time of year to revitalize aging and sun damaged skin and refresh your look for the upcoming holiday season.
Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing is a laser therapy used to restore healthier, younger appearing skin. Fraxel is so appealing because it addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously with minimal downtime afterwards. This treatment improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminishes pigmentation or brown spots from the sun, minimizes pore size and results in a smoother skin texture. Fraxel is most commonly performed on the face, but is also used for the neck, chest and hands.
How it works & what to expect
The fractional laser technology is used to penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis where some cells are treated and others are left untouched. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process which leads to production of fresh new skin cells and new collagen. Most patients experience some redness and swelling for a couple of days after the procedure which is typically not prohibitive of day to day activities. Fraxel is also used to improve the appearance of scars due to acne or surgery, stretch marks after rapid growth or pregnancy and pigmentation associated with melasma (pregnancy mask). Treatments can be tailored to address individual patient needs.
Patients notice glowing healthier appearing and smoother skin within a few weeks and results continue to improve over the next 3-6 months. Multiple treatments may be desired to achieve maximal benefit.
