Laser Scar Removal
Fraxel laser treatment offers a revolutionary approach to scar removal, providing hope for those seeking to improve their skin's appearance. This advanced technology uses fractional laser therapy to target specific areas of damaged skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting natural healing. Unlike traditional methods, Fraxel is less invasive and offers faster recovery times. It's effective on various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. By creating microscopic channels in the skin, Fraxel encourages the growth of healthy new tissue, gradually replacing scar tissue with smoother, more even-toned skin. Multiple sessions may be required to give you the results you want, though many patients report significant improvements in their skin's texture and overall appearance after just a few treatments.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment
Fraxel specifically targets and breaks up concentrations of melanin (pigment) in the skin and stimulates the body's natural healing process, promoting new cell production and faster skin cell turnover. As the damaged skin cells are replaced by new ones, the hyperpigmented areas gradually fade.
The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. Most patients require 3-5 sessions about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Recovery time is relatively quick, with most people experiencing 3-7 days of redness and swelling.
Many patients see a 50-75% improvement in hyperpigmentation after a full course of treatment. The results continue to improve over several months as the skin produces new collagen and healthy cells replace damaged tissue. Make sure to wear sun protection after treatment (and before) to prevent new hyperpigmentation.
Important considerations: Not everyone is a good candidate, particularly those with very dark skin tones, due to the increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Results are long lasting but not permanent, as new sun damage can create new hyperpigmentation.
How To Tighten Eyelid Skin Without Surgery
Unlike other laser technologies, Fraxel is considered safe for use around the eyes. Wrinkles, droopines and dark circles have all been found to be effectively treated. The best part is that similar results to a surgical blepharoplasty are achievable!
Your Fraxel Laser Treatment
Once Fraxel skin resurfacing is determined to be suitable for your skin and goals, your treatment begins. Your skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied to improve your comfort. The handheld applicator of the Fraxel laser system device is passed over the desired area(s) multiple times. For the face, it can take about 30 minutes or so.
Are Fraxel Laser Treatments Right for You?
If you’ve spent time outside without sunscreen, you might have skin damage. If you’re in your 30s or beyond, you might be starting to notice signs of aging. Laser treatments are a good way to manage these common skin concerns.
Laser technologies are very effective because they don’t just treat the outer layer of skin. They penetrate deep pass the skin’s surface to rebuild collagen, making skin youthful and radiant. Fraxel laser is a treatment commonly used for this reason. If you want to kick-start your body’s collagen-building process, read on to learn more about the many benefits.
Benefits
Because Fraxel treatments are done in sections – not the entire body at once – your body’s surrounding tissue stays put, allowing you to heal quickly for a short recovery period. After a single treatment, the skin is resurfaced to promote a smooth, youthful-looking complexion. Most patients only need one or two sessions to achieve their desired results.
Fraxel laser treatment improves the texture and tone of your skin, removing acne scars and any dimpling and discoloration. Hyperpigmentation – brown spots caused by excessive sun exposure – is dramatically reduced.
Fraxel laser treatment is also helpful for reducing signs of aging. Fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet can be eliminated with regular Fraxel treatments. Fraxel treatment can also reduce scars caused by acne and surgery. It promotes new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.
The entire process is quick and relatively painless. A Fraxel treatment takes about 20-25 minutes for the entire face. There may be slight discomfort after the treatment, but the feeling is similar to a sensation of heat, like sunburn. The skin will look bronzed afterward, but any pain typically goes away within a few hours. Swelling may last several days.
There is minimal downtime required after a Fraxel treatment. However, more aggressive treatments may require some downtime. You can go back to work or participate in sports and social activities soon after a treatment.
There are many types of nonsurgical skin resurfacing treatments available on the market. Consider everything before making the choice to use Fraxel laser for healthy skin.
