The Fraxel Laser was recently featured on The Today Show.


Goal

Stimulate your body to replace aged and photo-damaged skin in a safe and gradual manner.

The Fraxel repair is a new method of CO2 laser skin resurfacing.  It works the best for sun-damaged skin: by softening lines and creases, lightening sun spots and tightening the skin.

Who is a candidate?

  • Anyone who wants more youthful-looking skin.
  • People who prefer non-invasive treatment techniques that heal rapidly and are safe even on delicate skin areas.

Procedure description

  • The treatment is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
  • During and after treatment, there is usually mild discomfort that is easily treated with a topical anesthetic ointment.
  • Swelling is minimal and generally disappears in 2-3 days.
  • We see you every day for the first three days after your treatment to closely monitor your healing.
  • Generally, 3-5 treatment sessions are recommended, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

Other options

Fraxel™ Laser is can be conveniently combined with Botox and fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse. We have combined these treatments in packages which offer you significant savings when done in combination with your Fraxel treatment. The combination treatments enhance the overall result, creatinga more complete facial rejuvenation.

  • Frax & Relax™– combines Fraxel with Botox to the crow’s feet and frown lines
  • Frax, Fill & Relax™– Combines Fraxel with Botox and 2 syringes of Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse.

Fraxel laser skin resurfacing helps repair the collagen matrix of the skin, especially from the damaging effects of the sun.

After the laser treatment, we recommend that everyone uses a Retin-A product to maximize the benefits of the skin resurfacing. With a good skin care regimen and sun protection, you will be doing the most to keep your skin youthful.

“Unlike ablative and non-ablative techniques, FLT treats only a small fraction of the skin, sparing healthy tissue and inspiring fast recovery without problematic side effects. It is a wonderful treatment option, with immediate and progressive results that amaze many patients.”
