Fraxel


Description:
Also known as Fractional Laser Resurfacing, Fraxel® is the name brand for one of the more exciting developments in the precision treatment of age spots, acne scars, sun damage, facial wrinkles, and dark circles under the eye. A highly advanced form of Laser Skin Resurfacing, Fraxel® treatments can eliminate these common facial imperfections quickly, without the need for any recovery time, and virtually no risk of error or side effects.

The Procedure:
Fraxel® differentiates itself from other Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments by dividing a targeted area of skin into microscopic regions known as Micro Thermal Zones, or MTZ. During your treatment, this incredibly precise form of Fractional Laser Resurfacing enables the technician to precisely target age spots or sun spots without touching any surrounding, healthy skin tissue. As a result, the treatment is performed with much higher accuracy, with no unnecessary pain or damage.

Time Required:
Many Fraxel® treatments can be completed in just 30-45 minutes.

In/Out Patient:
Outpatient

Side Effects / Risks:
Swelling and redness is common for a day or two. There may be some peeling, as well, but far less than with most types of laser skin treatments.

Duration of Results:
Fraxel® can start working after just one treatment, but to get results lasting upwards of a year or more, additional treatments will usually be required.

Recovery Time:
None needed, though some may choose to rest a day due to minor redness and swelling.

Insurance:
As a cosmetic treatment, Fraxel® will not be covered by most insurance.

Level of Discomfort:
Like most laser treatments, Fraxel® can be mildly painful, but numbing agents and pain relievers can assist considerably..
