What benefits can you get from Fraxel Laser treatment?

Fraxel laser treatments provide you with a clearer, smoother, more even skin tone. The fraxel laser is targeting pigment and stimulating collagen for a smother more even appearance.  You can expect to see a decrease in the appearance of brown spots, sun damage, melasma, acnce scars, and wrinkles.  A series of treatments may be required for desired results.

Fraxel has a lot of cheerleaders behind it. The device itself can operate on two different "wavelengths", meaning it can solve different problems such asAcne scarring (takes time and repetition but definitely helps)Sun damage such as rough skin and fine wrinklingDiscoloration from sun exposureActinic keratosisMany people choose to use Fraxel on an ongoing basis to maintain smooth skin and keep that extra collagen boost going. Like any laser, Fraxel works better on some skins than others, so seeing a laser specialist with lots of experience can be a face-saving decision.

Non
ablative Frax laser targets soft tissue to remodel and resurface the
tissue.  We use the Frax 1550 laser by Ellipse.  This Frax is a high
power, non ablative laser which delivers results without significant
downtime.  The 1550 wavelength energy works at the dermal layer of skin by
laying down a “grid” of energy that treats stimulates a healing response of the
tissue.  This serves to improve texture and tone of skin.  Frax laser
treatments can be used for general skin resurfacing, or to specifically target
concerns such as stretch marks, acne scars and surgical scars.

There are several different Fraxel brand fractional laser resurfacing devices and the spectrum of conditions they can treat include melasma (brown pigment mask of pregnancy) hyperpigmentation, freckles, pore size, wrinkles, sun damage, poor tone, crepy skin and acne scars.

There are different types of Fraxel laser, and each one will treat a different skin concern. Fraxel Re:pair is the most aggressive type; it is an ablative CO2 laser that is great for overall skin rejuvenation. Fraxel Re:pair can soften deep wrinkles, reduce dark spots, and smooth and even skin tone and texure. Fraxel Re:store Dual has two lasers in one: the original Re:store, which is an erbium laser good for treating fine lines and wrinkles as well as overall skin texture and certain types of acne scars, and a thulium laser that is great for reducing brown spots. An in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist is needed to determine which laser is best for your individual skin concerns.
