The RealSelf.com San Diego Fraxel Restore Laser doctor directory is a free and unbiased resource for locating San Diego plastic surgeons' offices where Fraxel laser resurfacing is performed. RealSelf.com does not accept paid listings or advertorials in the doctor directory. The San Diego Fraxel providers in this directory are listed according to their level of participation in the community.
San Diego Fraxel Restore Laser is offered by local dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians as a treatment for sun damage, skin resurfacing, acne scarring, age spots, stretch marks, melasma, and wrinkle reduction.
Most Fraxel laser treatments are administered with the use of a topical anesthetic cream to eliminate any discomfort. The Fraxel laser has been shown in studies to eliminate precancerous cells and prevent skin cancer.
The Fraxel Restore Laser is a fractionated Erbium laser, which produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in the skin, known as microscopic treatment zones, or MTZs.
During treatment, the Fraxel laser penetrates deep into the dermis to eliminate old epidermal pigmented cells. For every microscopic zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. 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.
1. Ask your provider how many Fraxel laser treatments they have performed and who will be performing the procedure.
2. Ask to see before and after photos of your Fraxel laser treatment provider's actual patients.
3. Research the law in San Diego pertaining to cosmetic laser treatments. Is a physician required to be on the premises or nearby during treatment? Policy regarding the presence of a physician varies dramatically by state.
4. Make sure the benefits and risks of Fraxel laser treatment are fully explained to you in a consultation.
