Fraxel Laser Treatments for Acne, Sun
Spots & Wrinkles
Just as a damaged painting is delicately restored
one small area at a time, or a photographic image
is altered, pixel by pixel, Fraxel Laser Treatment
improves your appearance by affecting only a fraction
of your skin at a time with thousands of tiny
microscopic laser spots. Fraxel Laser Treatment
produces thousands of tiny treatment zones on
skin, known as Micro Thermal Zones (MTZs). These
MTZs penetrate deep into the dermis and eliminate
old epidermal pigmented cells. Just as important,
though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser
leaves untouched. For every MicroThermal Zone
the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves
the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact.
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.
The Fraxel Laser is a breakthrough in improving
the quality of the skin. This revolutionary treatment
can be helpful in addressing many bothersome skin
problems such as wrinkles, acne scars, scars,
sun damage, brown spots and other skin problems.
The FDA has cleared the Fraxel
Laser for the treatment of acne scars after studies
showed that the new laser could be far more effective
than traditional therapies at both removing damaged
tissue and inducing the formation of new collagen.
"In our practice, we have treated hundreds
of acne scarring patients with the Fraxel®
Laser, and we've seen significant improvements
on all areas of the face, particularly the cheeks
and temple area", says Dr. Paul Friedman,
of Houston, TX. This includes deep "ice pick"
marks usually found on the cheek. After a series
of 3-5 Fraxel Laser treatments, the appearance
of acne scars and the texture of the skin can
be greatly improved. Minimal downtime is expected
after this 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. With the Fraxel laser's unique approach
of using millions of microscopic thermal spots
to gently resurface only portions of skin at a
time, doctors & dermatologists can now penetrate
deep enough to eliminate the melanocytes that
cause melasma.
The Fraxel Laser is also effective
in treating & removing crow's feet & dramatically
improving wrinkles around your eyes.
