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.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before treatment, Dr. Bonness will discuss which area(s) of your skin is appropriate for treatment, what kind of results you can expect, what to look for after treatment, and how often treatment will be scheduled. Because Fraxel Laser Treatment spares healthy tissue, it is effective even on delicate skin areas, such as the neck, chest and hands.
Clinical studies suggest that an effective treatment regime is three to five sessions, spaced about 2-4 weeks apart. However, treatment plans can be very flexible and effective, even spaced by 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 improvement is usually visible in about two to three months.
PREPARING FOR TREATMENT
Fraxel Laser Treatment is performed right in the office using only a topical anesthetic. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed prior to the procedure. During the procedure you will feel some warmth and even hot in some areas.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TREATMENT
After the procedure you will have a mild pinkness and swelling which will fade to a bronzing of the skin over 3-5 days. This will be followed by flakiness as the healthy tissue comes to the surface.
You may apply make-up right after treatment. Typically patients find they can return to work the next day.
After your very first Fraxel laser treatment, you will begin to feel the difference in your skin, as it gradually becomes softer, smoother, tighter and fresher. Fine lines around your eyes will noticeably fade. So will uneven coloring and the brown spots caused by aging and sun exposure.
After several treatments, friends and family will marvel at how youthful and healthy your skin looks. Finally, there is a proven, safe approach to repairing aging and sun damaged skin.
