Fraxel for the Face Completely Revitalized my Skin!

I received a Fraxel Dual laser treatment at Duet Plastic Surgery a few weeks ago, and let me just say, WOW! I am in my mid-40's and I've been noticing over the years that my skin was getting more pigmented with brown spots, fine lines and overall a dull appearance. When I say my dermatologist a few months ago, I was also told that I had some "actinic keratosis," which is scaly, peely skin that can turn later into skin cancer. I went to Duet Plastic Surgery to see what the doctors recommended, and she recommended a 1927wavelength Fraxel Laser treatment to address my pigment and other concerns. The doctor said I should do 2 -3 treatments spaced a few months apart. I did my first treatment 2 weeks ago and I am BLOWN AWAY. Things were just as the doctor said. I went in for the treatment and spent an hour with numbing cream on my face. It was relaxing and pleasant. Then, I went into the laser room, and had the treatment. I felt no pain at all. While the laser is going, there is cool air gently blown onto your face, so it's not uncomfortable even in the slightest. The laser itself took about 15 minutes. I had the 1927 wavelength, which is used for pigment and actinic keratosis. The other wavelength you can have is 1550, which is good for deeper lines and to tighten skin. (You can have both wavelengths at the same treatment if that is right for you. The doctor will recommend what is best for your skin issues.) After the procedure, I looked pretty normal, maybe a little bit pink. The next day, my skin felt smooth and tight, and looked still normal with a bit of makeup on. By the second day, my skin looked "bronzed" and started to feel rough, almost like fine sandpaper. And then the peeling started. On day 3, I really peeled. The bronzed areas basically rubbed off and underneath, I had smooth, beautiful skin. By the end of day 4, almost all the peeling was done and I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful my skin looked. All the pigment was gone, my areas of actinic keratosis were smooth and perfect, and my skin glowed. By day 5, I went back to work and looked amazing. I could not be happier I did this Fraxel treatment. I am excited for my next one to see even more improvement. Here are my overall impressions: 1) Do the treatment on a Wednesday so you have the weekend to peel. You'll be good to go by Monday. 2)It is painless 3) You can Fraxel other parts too (like your hands or your chest. I'm going to do that too!) 3) The doctor will tell you which wavelenth (or both) is right for your skin concerns. 4) I can't think of a person over 25 who wouldn't benefit from this treatment. Thank you Duet Plastic Surgery for my beautiful skin!!
