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.

The Fraxel re:store™ laser produces thousands of
tiny, laser dots in your skin, known as microthermal treatment
zones. This treatment not only rejuvenates the epidermis.
It also penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important,
though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel re:store™
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. It takes advantage
of the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy
tissue to replace skin imperfections. Another nice thing
about the Fraxel re:store™ laser is that one can
treat other areas besides the face safely. For example,
we have had wonderful results treating the neck, hands
and torso for conditions such as acne scars, wrinkles
and skin hypopigmentation.
