Is Fraxel C02 Good for the Chest Area?
Fraxel CO2 is a great option for the chest but energy and density must be decreased on the thinner skin of the chest. We often combine this treatment int the same session with the GentleLase alexandrite laser to remove brown spots and the Vbeam vascular laser to treat redness and broken veins. More than one treatment may be needed for best results because less energy must be used.
I got fraxel laser treatment against wrinkles (don't know the name of the laser) and can only say that after day 6 brown skin is finally flaking off). The result so far is zero, the fine lines that were there before are present the same way. My question now is, if I go 5 weeks later on vacation can I expose myself (of course with sun screen lotion) to the sun. I am a mediterranean type and tan very fast. Thank you very much for your answer. Vicky
Sun exposure after Fraxel laser should be ok with the following precautions - wear a wide brim hat always, use broad sprectrum sun block preferably one with zinc and try to seek shade when you outdoors. Also a topical antioxidant serum such as Skin ceuticals vitamin c or Phloretin can help prevent sun damage. Sun exposure can cause changes in the skin that lead to brown discoloration and collagen and elastin loss that increases fine lines that you are trying to treat with the fraxel. Protect your investment - but enjoy your vacation - both are possible!
