Laser Skin Resurfacing

Think of your skin as a family portrait or digital photograph in need of high-quality restoration or touch up. 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.

These laser skin resurfacing treatments lasts about 30 minutes, and you will be able to return to most of your routine activities the next day. Most men and women experience immediate results and see the best results with 3 to 5 treatments.

The Fraxel® laser was the first technology to produce dramatic improvements to aging and sun-damaged skin in a speedy healing process, with almost no downtime. "The results we're able to achieve in repairing the skin with the Fraxel® laser, healing the skin and renewing the collegan growth, without causing damage, are unlike anything I've ever seen," says Dr. Howard L. Brooks, medical director of SKIN, Cosmetic Dermotology of Georgetwon, My patients usually have 3-6 treatments spaced about 1-4 weeks apart. The results are the elimination of uneven pigment and blemishes, improvement in texture, fine lines as well as deep lines, and even skin tightening and improvement of scars.

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Treat sun damage
• Improve skin elasticity

Turn Back The Hands Of Time.. On Aging

After your very first Fraxel® Laser Treatment, you will begin to see and feel the difference. Your skin will gradually becomes softer, smoother and fresher. Fine lines around your eyes will noticeably fade. So will uneven coloring and the brown spots caused by aging and sun exposure.

After several treatments, your friends and family will be amazed at how youthful and healthy your skin looks. The results are so discreet and natural that only you will know you've had a laser treatment.

Number of Treatments Needed

Clinical studies suggest that 3-5 treatments spaced about 5 to 7 days apart produce a gradual remodeling of dermal matrix components, until complete healing occurs and "good" material that contains collagen and elastin replaces old epidermal and dermal tissue. Over a period of 1-3 months, clinical improvement in photo-aged skin correlates with dermal repair and positive skin changes.
