Think of your skin as a
family portrait or digital
photograph in need of
high-quality restoration or
touch up.
Just as a damaged
painting is delicately
restored one small area at a
time, or a photographic
image is altered, pixel by
pixel, Fraxel® Laser
Treatment improves your
appearance by affecting only
a fraction of your skin at a
time with thousands of tiny
microscopic laser spots.
How Fraxel Laser
Treatment Works
Fraxel Laser Treatment
produces thousands of tiny
but deep columns of
treatment in your skin,
known as microthermal
treatment zones. This
treatment eliminates old
epidermal pigmented cells.
It also penetrates deep into
the dermis. Just as
important, though, are the
areas of skin the Fraxel
laser leaves untouched. For
every microthermal zone the
laser targets and treats
intensively, it leaves the
surrounding tissue
unaffected and intact. This
"fractional" treatment
allows the skin to heal much
faster than if the entire
area were treated at once,
using the body's natural
healing process to create
new, healthy tighter tissue
to replace skin
imperfections.
The Reliant Fraxel Laser
procedure can be performed in our office
using topical anesthesia. Treatment takes
about 30 minutes, depending on the size of
the area(s) being treated. Because the
procedure does not ablate or remove the
outer skin layer, patients can resume
routine activities right after treatment.
The skin will have a pinkish tone for 4 to 5
days. Swelling is minimal and generally
resolves in about 2 days.
Clinical studies suggest that an effective
treatment regime is three to five sessions,
spaced about four to seven days apart.
However, treatment plans can be very
flexible and effective, even spaced by weeks
or months if that best meets your needs.
by design, each treatment session targets
between 15% and 20% of the skin's surface,
depending on the clinical parameters
selected. Results are immediate and
progressive. Optimal improvements is
usually visible in about two to three
months.
