Fraxel® Treatments
            Soheila Rostami, MD
 
Fraxel® is a revolutionary laser treatment that helps you remove years from your appearance and regain a more youthful look.  Whether you have sun-damaged skin, wrinkles or other signs of aging, Fraxel® treatments deliver remarkable results with a fast recovery.  You can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin - and a renewed confidence.
 
Regardless of the level of sun damage you have or if you just desire prevention and maintenance, there's a Fraxel® treatment for you.  The Fraxel® family of treatments has multiple FDA clearances, including:
 
-  Wrinkles around the eyes
-  Acne scars and surgical scars
-  Age spots/sun spots
-  Melasma (irregular patches of brown skin on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip and nose)
-  Actinic Keratosis (precancerous lesions)
-  Skin resurfacing
-  Irregular skin texture
-  Sun-induced redness
 
The range of Fraxel® treatments varies in aggressiveness, downtime, number of procedures needed and results.  Fraxel® can be done on the face or on parts of the body.  The most aggressive treatment, Fraxel re:pair®, can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. This is a single treatment procedure but will require more downtime and after-treatment wound care.  Less aggressive treatments, like Fraxel re:store® or Fraxel re:fine®, can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 to 6 treatments.  Typically, there is no after treatment wound care with these treatments, and downtime is minimal.  Each treatment takes 20 to 25 minutes for a full face, and most people return to routine activities the very next day.  Most men and women experience immediate results and see the most benefit in three to five treatments.
 
Fraxel® offers remarkable results and is remarkably simple.  Typical benefits of Fraxel® treatments include:
 
-  Dramatic results in a single treatment
-  Smoother, more even skin tone and texture
-  Softening of deep frown lines and wrinkles
-  Improved appearance of redness caused by sun damage
-  Smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin
-  Improved skin tone and texture
-  Erasing of unwanted brown spots
-  Reduced fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
-  Improved appearance of acne scars and surgical scars
 
When considering whether Fraxel® or other treatment options are best for you, you and your trusted physician should discuss the trade-off between downtime and results to determine the best treatment option that fits your skin condition and your lifestyle.
