Fraxel laser is a laser technology and
non-surgical technique that can help reverse the known effects of aging. This
is a non-invasive therapy which is customized to the needs and concerns of
every patient to make the skin look younger through rejuvenation. As a
revolutionary treatment, it addresses many other skin problems aside from age
spots, like fine lines and wrinkles.
How is this done? The therapy works
under the surface of the skin to deal with some of its imperfections. It
stimulates the natural connective tissues or collagen of the skin. What is good
about this technique, however, is that it targets only the problem areas so
that the results are focused on the same areas. Using the latest skin care
technique, Fraxel reaches deep into the second layer of the skin called dermis
to bring the skin’s restorative efficiency. It takes out the old damaged skin
from under its outermost layer which is the epidermis. Controlling skin damage
even in small areas allows for little healing time but highly affective skin
renewal. After the treatment, you may not see immediate results as your
epidermis remains unchanged except for your deeper layer that is expected to
begin healing itself. In a few weeks after treatment, a discomfort like that of
a sunburn or tanning of your skin may appear but become part of old skin cells
which will be shed off eventually to lead the skin to repair itself and develop
new collage. Post-treatment patients are allowed to go back to their daily
activities but advised to keep their skin always moisturized and out of
excessive exposure to the sun.
Patients can avail of at least three
types or levels of treatment for Fraxel laser. These are the Fraxel Refine,
Fraxel Restore, and Fraxel Repair. The first level is a less invasive laser
therapy that concentrates on treating skin discolorations and certain marks
such as pigmented areas or fine lines in the eye area, without affecting the
untreated areas. The Fraxel Restore treats areas of the skin in the same manner
as the laser Refine but is meant to treat the face, neck, hands and chest of
the patient for acne scars and other types of scar. As the latest in Fraxel laser technology,
Fraxel Repair can get deep into the skin’s second layer or dermis for the
treatment of such conditions as pigmentation, deep skin wrinkles, and irregular
skin marks.
As with many other therapies,
Fraxel laser may have certain complications like bruising and swelling that can
last a few days, but these can be remedied by herbal creams prescribed by a
licensed cosmetic surgeon. Sunburn may also appear, followed by skin peeling
and flaking, which is common after the therapy, but these can be dealt with by
moisturizers with sunscreen applied for a number of days after the treatment.
The most common side effects such as swelling and skin redness subside in about
two days in the same way as minor itching, dry skin or the appearance of a
bronze skin disappear. Afterwards, by looking at the mirror, you may yet rediscover
a healthy skin of youth in you, with your skin texture and appearance having
dramatically improved. You may also find that they—fine lines and wrinkles and
acne scars and unwanted age spots—are now a thing of the past.
