Fraxel®
Laser
Results you can see and feel™ Safe non-invasive treatment, effective for all skin
types.
How Fraxel treatment works The technology behind Fraxel
treatment is as revolutionary as the results it can deliver.
Unlike other laser treatments, Fraxel treatment is able to
precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using
pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin's surface
to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. Fraxel treatment
stimulates the body's own natural healing process which replaces
damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
Your personalized Fraxel treatment plan Your skin type is unique -
your genetic make-up, lifestyle and personal history all
contribute to how your skin looks and feels. With Fraxel
treatment, your physician can develop a treatment plan tailored
to your skin's individual needs.
By design, Fraxel Treatments
can target between approximately 5 to 50 percent of the skin's
surface, leaving the remaining 50 to 95 percent available to
quickly heal the treated areas. Since Fraxel treatment is so
precise, it's safe and effective on delicate skin areas like the
neck, chest and hands, in addition to the face. You can expect
two levels of results, immediate and progressive. Immediately
after initial healing is complete, the surface of your skin will
feel softer, look brighter, and tone will start to become even.
Progressive results occur over the next three to six months as
the deeper layers of skin continue to heal.

How many treatments will I need and how will they be
spaced?
Everyone's skin
is different, but clinical studies suggest that for most people,
maximum results are realized in just 3 to 5 sessions. They are
usually spaced 2 to 6 weeks apart.
Does Fraxel treatment hurt?
Topical
anesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used
on the treatment area during the procedure to minimize
discomfort. After the treatment, most patients report a feeling
similar to having too much sun. It usually disappears after 1
to3 hours.
What side-effects can I expect after treatment and how long
will they last?
You will have
some degree of redness and swelling. The intensity and duration
depends on how aggressive the treatment was and your particular
healing characteristics. Other temporary side-effects may
include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a
bronzed skin appearance. You will be given specific instructions
about what to expect for your particular treatment and how to
minimize the side-effects.
What precautions should I
take after treatment?
Wear sunscreen
of SPF 30 or higher and avoid direct sun exposure while you're
healing for at least 3 months after your last treatment. Further
protect yourself by wearing wide-brimmed hats if you expect to
be out in sun.
How long do the effects of Fraxel
treatment last?
It depends on your
particular condition and how you care for your skin. Once your
skin is restored, continue to protect it as described above. For
conditions, such as melasma, it is very important to avoid
direct sun exposure. Your physician will give you specific
advice based on your individual needs.
Simply
put, Fraxel treatment promotes your skin's own healing
process, resulting in natural rejuvenation that removes years
from your appearance.
Depending on
your skin, you can decide how you want to attain the remarkable
results Fraxel treatment delivers. Aggressive treatments require
fewer sessions and results in more post treatment side-effects -
meaning a few days of social downtime. Less aggressive
treatments accomplish the same results, with a few more
treatment sessions and less pronounced side-effects. For some
types of skin and skin conditions, gentle and/or fewer
treatments are best. Fraxel treatment was specifically
engineered to give your physician complete treatment control,
based on your particular needs.
