Fraxel

Fraxel is a non-invasive laser therapy providing a wide array of treatment options to address many forms of aging, customized to each patient’s needs and concerns, many requiring minimal recovery time. It’s the perfect solution for people who want their skin to look younger, but don’t want to look plastic or fake and can’t afford a lot of time away from work or their social life.
Fraxel is effective on:
Fine lines and wrinkles – like crow’s feet and brow lines
Surface scarring – erasing effects of acne and other scarring
Pigmentation – minimizing the appearance of age spots
Sun damage – helping heal dangerous skin damage
Actinic Keratosis (AK) – a common pre-cancerous skin condition

PROCEDURE

• You need to arrive about 1-1 ½ hours before your treatment. A technician will cleanse the treatment area and then apply a numbing cream. Then you just relax, read, or listen to music, while the numbing cream takes affect.
• After you numb for about an hour,  a thin layer of gel will be applied to help the laser rollers slide evenly over the face.
• The treatment takes 20 to 25 minutes for a full face and feels a little like a “pins and needles” sensation. The discomfort ranges from mild to moderate.
