Fraxel Reading
As seen on the Today Show, Fraxel is a revolutionary laser treatment which stimulates collagen production to counteract the effects of aging and help make the skin appear more youthful.
How does it work?
Fraxel repair® uses a high-intensity carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Through fractional technology, thousands of microscopic laser columns penetrate deep into the skin to remove old and damaged skin cells. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, which replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
Fraxel repair® is a revolutionary laser treatment to correct deeper wrinkles, tighten skin and remove years from your appearance. It is a safer, more effective and more comfortable alternative to surgical procedures.
Get life changing benefits with a Fraxel repair® treatment:
- Smooth skin tone and texture
- Tighten wrinkles and saggy skin
- Soften deep frown lines and wrinkles
- Improve age spots, sunspots and sun-induced redness
Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, which treat the entire skin surface, the Fraxel repair® laser targets only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This “fractional” treatment allows your body to heal the skin much faster than if the entire area were treated at once.
How many treatments will I need?
Clinical studies suggest that for most people, maximum results may be realized in just one treatment session.
How long before I can return to my normal activities?
Because Fraxel repair® uses a fractional laser technology, it has a much faster recovery time than other ablative procedures; however, recovery time varies from patient to patient. Most men and women can expect to return to their routine activities within 7 days.
The Fraxel repair® treatment can be tailored to your particular needs. Depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment, you may experience a shorter or longer period of downtime.
Is it safe?
The Fraxel repair® laser offers great results because it is an aggressive treatment. Your physician will give you specific instructions about what to expect for your particular treatment and how to minimize side effects. Fraxel repair® was extensively tested in FDA trials and has been used safely on over 10,000 patients worldwide. The risk of long term side effects is extremely low.
When will I see results?
Soon after treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show a more even tone.
And over three to six months, you’ll get even more results as the deeper layers of skin continue to heal. Results can last for years depending on your age and skin condition.
