Fraxel Re:pair is clinically proven to make skin smoother and tighter, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve tone and texture with a single treatment.
Fraxel (Re:pair) is an ablative fractionated laser that vaporizes the tissue in a precisely controlled manner to promote new collagen formation and skin rejuvenation. Recovery time is longer and can range from a few days to a few weeks. Ablative lasers are most useful for improving scarring, moderate wrinkles, severe sun damage, moderate skin laxity, and mottled pigmentation.
Fraxel Re:pair treatment uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to vaporize microscopic columns of tissue deep within the skin. Fraxel re:pair treatment is a more aggressive procedure and is used to treat the most severe signs of skin damage.
With Fraxel Re:Pair treatment, you get dramatic results without the risks and complications of surgery. The Fraxel Re:Pair system, initially cleared for ablation, coagulation and skin resurfacing, is the only fractional ablative resurfacing system cleared by the FDA for its specific indications of use. These indications include treatment of:
* Wrinkles
* Irregular texture
* Sun spots and age spots (pigmented lesions)
* Sun-induced redness (vascular dyschromia)
The provider will review your medical history and discuss with you if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
If you decide to have the procedure done, baseline photos will be taken. On your procedure day, you will be sedated during the treatment and prescribed medications which will need to be taken as indicated on the bottle. The procedure itself takes 30-60 minutes depending on the areas. Following your treatment, you will experience swelling redness, oozing/bleeding. Proper wound care is essential in preventing post-procedural complications.
Depending on the aggressiveness of your treatment, there might be some pinpoint bleeding following the procedure, as well as some oozing for up to 48 hours until the wounds close. The most common side effects are edema (swelling), which usually subsides after a week, and erythema (redness), which may last up to a month, depending on the aggressiveness of treatment.
Over three to six months, you’ll get even more results as the deeper layers of your skin continue to heal.
Melasma is caused by overproduction of melanin in the skin, usually by hormonal changes. It usually requires 4-6 treatments per area. Patients need to make sure they are using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50 and with broad spectrum coverage and avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Veins on the nose and in the cheeks are caused by different conditions such as rosacea, medications, over exfoliating of the skin, allergies and sun damage.
Spider veins are caused by excess pressure deep within the leg causing the veins to make small spider looking veins to help distribute the excess pressure. T
Active acne, including cystic acne responds well to laser treatments. Laser treatments breakdown excess kertin formation within the pores and they kill the acne bacteria that causes breakouts. The lasers remove excess cells to expose impurities held within the skin layers. The lasers also cut down on the inflammation caused by acne. Acne scarring is the result of active acne breakouts. The lasers help to remodel the scars smoothing and easing their appearance.
Cellulite is a condition of the skin that affects 80% of women and 10% of men. It is the “hail damage” appearance of skin in certain areas of the body such as the buttocks and thighs. Cellulite occurs where the fat cells underneath the skin form scar tissue that then attaches to the skin. The scar tissue then causes the dimpling appearance of the skin. Our lasers help to tighten the skin and reform the scar tissue so that the skin smoothes out. We typically will do a treatment series of 4-6 treatments. The treatments are pain free with no downtime.
