There's
a new laser being used to treat a variety of skin conditions
and its been featured on a number of news programs including
CNN, The View, CBS Morning Show & many others. The Fraxel
laser has been approved by the FDA to treat a variety of important
cosmetic conditions. It smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles,
corrects skin discoloration, and is effective in treating
acne scars. Skin damaged from sun exposure (age & liver
spots), melasma and lentigos (freckles) on the face, neck,
chest or hands are all treatable with Fraxel.
The Fraxel
laser works differently that other laser resurfacing methods.
The procedure delivers the laser energy in thousands of tiny
but deep columns of treatment in the skin called microthermal
zones. These zones penetrate deeply into the dermis producing
collagen remodeling and reducing wrinkles. They also resurface
the uppermost portion of the skin, resulting in the formation
of new epidermal cells with reduction or complete elimination
of uneven pigment. Further, the remaining areas of untouched
skin between these microthermal zones allow the skin to heal
much faster compared to conventional laser skin resurfacing.
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
tissue to replace skin imperfections. Thus it creates less
downtime than other laser skin resurfacing methods. Most patients
resume routine activities the next day.
The results
of Fraxel® laser treatments are immediate and progressive.
The laser stimulates the creation of new collagen — under
acne scars, for example — producing positive long-term
changes. Treatments take about an hour each, and are most
effective when repeated three to five times, spaced a few
weeks apart. Topical anesthetic cream will be used to enhance
your comfort during the procedure.
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also cleared the Fraxel
Laser for the treatment & removal of melasma, also known
as the mask of pregnancy. The Fraxel Laser is also effective
in treating & removing crow's feet & dramatically
improving wrinkles around your eyes.
