|  Think
of your skin as a family portrait or digital photograph
in need of high-quality restoration or touch up.
After your very first Fraxel Laser Treatment,
you will begin to feel the difference in your
skin, as it gradually becomes softer, smoother
and fresher. Fine lines around your eyes will
noticeably fade. So will uneven coloring and the
brown spots caused by aging and sun exposure.

You and the medical aesthetician
will discuss which area(s) of your skin is of concern.
She will discuss appropriate treatments for your skin,
what kind of results you can expect, and what to look
for after your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Fraxel Laser Treatment?
FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT
is a breakthrough aesthetic procedure based on a new
science of "Fractional" skin repair. Fraxel
Laser Treatment is new anti-aging medicine that provides
the positive results of skin resurfacing without the
downtime and risks associated with traditional abrasive
treatment methods.
How does Fraxel Laser Treatment
work?
FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT
repairs aging and sun-damaged skin - PIXEL by PIXEL,
SPOT by SPOT. Think of a digital photo that is comprised
of thousands of pixels. Now, imagine damaged skin that
is delicately repaired, pixel by pixel, spot by spot.
That’s the principle behind Fraxel Laser Treatment.
It’s like Adobe Photoshop® software for your
skin.
The Fraxel Laser Treatment
passes through the top layer of skin like light through
glass, reaching into the dermis below to create thousands
of tiny, microscopic areas of thermal damage that stimulate
the body's own wound healing response, notably new collagen
production and replacement of damaged skin surfaces
with new fresh, smoother skin.
The penetrating wavelengths
of Fraxel Laser Treatment resurface damaged skin, reduce
wrinkles and correct pigmented lesions such as age spots
and sun spots. This is all accomplished as your skin
becomes softer, smoother and fresher. In contrast to
previous facial resurfacing methods, mainly the Abrasive
CO2 laser, the Fraxel produces similar skin improvements
without the associated risks or downtime.
How many treatments are
required?
Clinical studies suggest that
3-5 treatments spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart produce
a gradual remodeling of dermal matrix components, until
complete healing occurs and "good" material
that contains collagen and elating replaces old epidermal
and dermal tissue. Over a period of several months,
you will notice continual improvement in photo-aged
skin correlates with dermal repair and positive skin
changes.
