The Fraxel is a revolutionary treatment that manages to eliminate old skin cells, making the skin fresh, radiant and healthy!
The Fraxel (Erbium at 1550nm) offers the newest and most advanced microlaser therapeutic restoration, which activates the deeper skin cells naturally so that the skin can return to its previous state. You will feel and look younger, as stretch marks, wrinkles, acne scars, melasma and spots disappear immediately from your face, arms and neck without side effects or a long recovery period.
How it works
Indeed, unlike the original laser that used to be applied only to the face, Fraxel is applied on the neck, the neckline and the arms as well as on scars anywhere on body.
This is achieved, as Fraxel laser can heal thousands of microscopic skin areas with precision using laser beams, which penetrate the skin and reach below the skin surface to remove the altered cells.
It’s the only one that can safely reach the deepest layers of the skin, without destroying the protective surface skin layers.
The result is the natural activation of new collagen, without fear of complications or the discomfort of burning. The fractional laser treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing process, which regenerates the damaged skin, making it fresh and healthy.
The fractional laser can target 5 to 50% of the skin surface, leaving the remaining 50 to 95% available to quickly heal the area that was treated.
Each person’s skin has different needs, depending on his/her daily routines, medical history and various other parameters. For these reasons, we are going to develop a treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of your skin.
Results:
You can expect two categories of results: immediate and progressive.
Immediately after completion of the first treatment, your skin will be brighter and better toned. Skin improvement will continue and will be spectacular, with the desired results becoming visible within the next 3-6 months, as the deeper skin layers continue healing.
Depending on the type and the problem of your skin and taking into account your social and professional obligations, you can decide how you want to achieve impressive results from the Fraxel Laser treatment, always according to my recommendations.
An aggressive treatment requires fewer sessions but may require a few days of forgoing your daily obligations. A less aggressive treatment achieves the same results without your having to interrupt your activities. However, it requires more sessions. For some skin types and certain skin conditions milder or fewer sessions are indicated.
Fraxel therapy is specially designed to give me, your doctor, full control to act according to your personal needs.
What are the benefits of FRAXEL treatment?
Is FRAXEL treatment approved by the FDA?
FRAXEL therapy has been approved by the FDA for the following indications:
How many sessions am I going to need and how far apart?
Each patient’s skin is different, but clinical studies have shown that for most people, maximum results are achieved with 3-5 sessions, which are usually 2-6 weeks apart from each other.
Does Fraxel Treatment hurt?
Topical anesthetic is applied before treatment and cold air is supplied to the area during application to minimize any discomfort. After treatment, most patients report a feeling similar to that of a mild burn following long sun exposure. The discomfort disappears after 1 to 3 hours.
What side effects should I expect after treatment and for how long?
You will experience redness and swelling to some extent. The intensity and duration depends on how aggressive the treatment was and the healing capacity of your skin. Other transient side effects that may occur are: temporary itching, dry skin, peeling and hyperpigmentation – that is, slightly darker skin. .
I will give you specific instructions on what to expect from your personal treatment and how to minimize any discomfort.
What precautions should I take after treatment?
It is essential to use sunscreen with an SPF of over 30 on a daily basis. Direct sun exposure during healing should be avoided for at least three months after the last treatment. In addition, protection may be achieved by wearing a hat during exposure to sunlight.
How long does treatment-induced discomfort persist?
This depends on the chosen treatment program, on how well you adhere to recovery advice and on the natural condition and predisposition of your skin. Even when your skin has been restored, you should stick to sunscreen protection, as described above.
For cases such as melasma it is very important to avoid direct sun exposure.
I will give you specific advice regarding all these issues, based on your individual needs.
