Just because you've turned 30+ or even 60+, you don't have to look your age. While there is no fountain of youth magic cure for aging that has been discovered yet, but Fraxel is truly incredible. Most of our clients who've had this procedure will tell you that they look years younger. You can have baby-smooth skin, even if you had problematic skin, have scars from acne breakouts, surgical scars, keloid scars, sun damage, melasma (pregnancy skin).  

Real People - Real Results

The Fraxel laser in particular, has long been a gold-standard for fractional rejuvination.  Below are some examples of what is possilbe with a few treatements of Fraxel. 

Fraxel laser treats the following conditions:

Fractional asers have been around for a long time, and have been used extensively in surgery and esthetics. Newer laser technology has harnessed the power and precision of these ablative lasers to be applied in a variety of ways that just a few years ago has been impossible. It is now possible to precisely control the tissue coagulation and ablation to minimize downtime, create a very predictable outcome, and most importantly, improve the appearance of skin to undo the effects of the environment, stress, and aging.

The advantages of Fraxel:

• No injections, only topical anesthetic required prior to treatment
• Predictable and lasting results
• Improved skin texture, tone, and tightening, with positive improvements continuing for up to 6 months after the treatment
• Treatment possible of upper and lower eyelids to eliminate wrinkles and folds
• Minimal social downtime - have your treatment on Friday, and be back to work on Monday!

Skin Conditions treated with ablative lasers:

Fine lines, Rhytids, Sun Damaged Skin, Lentigenes, Actinic and Solar Keratosis, Sebaceous Hyperplasias, Acne and Traumatic Scarring, Hyperpigmentation, Enlarged Pores, Clogged Pores, Milia, moderate lines and wrinkles, Sun Damaged Skin, Lentigenes, Actinic and Solar Keratosis, Acne and Traumatic Scars, Melasma and Hyperpigmentation, Striae (Stretch Marks).

What happens during the treatment?

After you arrive at the facility, you will have a topical anesthetic cream applied to the treatment area for about 45 to 60 minutes. The topical cream is then removed, your face is cleaned and prepared for the procedure.   In some cases, depending on the length of the procedure, you may be given a sedative and oral pain medication.  A physician uses a laser to treat the skin - the treatment takes about 20 - 30 minutes. The treatment may feel a bit uncomfortable, but is generally not described by clients as painful. Immediately after the treatment, the skin will appear red, sometimes slightly swollen and a bit uncomfortable. Most clients also report an immediate tightening of the skin. Post care is easy after the treatment.  Skin has to be moisturized regularly throughout the day, and cool compresses may be applied as needed.  Detailed post-treatment instructions are provided by our staff before you leave. 

Who is a good candidate for the treatment?

A good candidate for this treatment is someone typically between the age of 18 to 60, with no significant medical conditions that are contra-indicated (i.e. history of skin cancer, diabetes, skin disorders, etc.). If you have sun damage (brown or red spots), uneven skin texture (wrinkles and fine lines), and skin laxity (loose skin), chances are you're a good candidate for this treatment. Your medical history will be reviewed by the physician during your consultation to make sure you are approved to proceed with the treatment.

How much does the treatment cost?

The price of the treatment depends on the area(s) treated, the number of treatments required, and the type of laser used. Below are a price list to be used as a guideline only, and is subject to a consultation by our physician to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment, the number of areas to be treated, and the intensity of the treatment.  Please call our office to schedule your FREE consultation.
