Question

William Groff, DO · Answer

Not only do I think Fraxel is an excellent anti-aging therapy for my male patients, I use it myself! It’s a great way to get rid of hyperpigmentation and other forms of sun damage, including fine lines and crepey skin. It stimulates the production of new collagen to help your skin repair itself, strengthen, and remain resilient. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has experience using anti-aging techniques such as Fraxel in men.

Many men seek treatment for improvement in sundamage or acne scarrring. Fraxel laser resurfacing using the Fraxel Dual or Fraxel Restore lasers in my NYC practice. The downtime is not significant for most and the redness can be often hidden by using a skin-tone sunblock.  Pore size may be reduced as an added benefit and some fine lines and brown spots can be improved.Fraxel Repair is a carbon dioxide laser with more downtime and is reserved for more severe acne scarring and sun damage. Every patient is examined by me in consultation and the appropriate laser is discussed at that time and the treatment plan is formulated for that specific individual.

I treat so many men in my practice and male patients love the Fraxel laser. It is designed to have minimal down time and discomfort and treat pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and age spots. From lasers like Thermage for skin tightening to cosmetic injections such as Kybella and Botox and Juvederm, more men than ever are seeking cosmetic procedures. Please consult an expert in Fraxel for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Fraxel is an excellent choice for both men and women who are looking to refresh their skin and build some collagen. There are many different types of fraxel out there and even more if you consider all fractionated lasers. The fraxel dual is my favorite, it has minimal downtime, can improve mottled pigmentation and builds collagen which decreases fine lines and wrinkles giving you a refreshed look. It is an excellent choice for increasing the health of your skin.
