With a Fraxel Re:Pair ™ treatment, you get the dramatic results without the risks and complications of going under the knife. You can also prevent the need to ever consider a facelift. That’s because Fraxel Re:Pair™ treatment tightens the skin, actually defending against the loose, saggy skin that typically comes with age.

So you can remove years from your appearance – and keep them off. Fraxel Re:Pair™ treatment uses points of lights to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of your skin. The Re:Pair™ treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells, stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, and replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel Re:Pair™ treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest, and hands. Fraxel Re:Pair™ treatment delivers the fastest healing and maximum safety – on and off the face.

A Few Things You Need to Know

 

First, you’ll want to understand why Fraxel laser technology came about. What physicians – and their patients – wanted was an approach with many of the benefits of invasive laser skin resurfacing performed with traditional devices, but without the downtime, side effects and lengthy recover period. Hence, the introduction of Fraxel Laser Treatment, a breakthrough aesthetic solution.

 

 
 
 

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 the skin 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.

 

 
 
 

A Fraxel Laser Treatment Plan

 

Before treatment, you and your doctor 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.

By design, each Fraxel Laser Treatment targets between 20 to 25 percent of the skin’s surface. Clinical studies suggest that on average, an effective treatment regimen is 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart. Depending upon your condition and schedule, you and your physician may choose to space treatment sessions even farther apart. Results are immediate and progressive. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about 2 to 3 months.

 

 
 
 

Preparing for Treatment

 

Fraxel Laser Treatment can be performed right in your doctor’s office. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed prior to the procedure. Next, topical anesthesia is applied and then wiped off after it has taken effect, usually in about an hour. OptiGuide Blue, an FDA certified water soluble tint, is applied to the treatment area to highlight the contours of the skin. The colored tint is washed off after treatment.

 

 
 
 

What Happens After Treatment

 
You will experience a mild sunburn sensation for one to two hours after treatment. Redness and swelling will vary depending upon your skin and the treatment. Swelling generally resolves in two to three days. Your skin will have a pinkish tone for five to seven days, which is a normal sign that skin is healing deeply.

You may apply make-up or shave soon after treatment. Some patients are able to return to routine activities, including work and social obligations, the same day of treatment. Others require a little more time, depending upon their skin condition and treatment. Please consult your physician to understand how Fraxel Laser Treatment will fit into your schedule.

New epidermal skin develops immediately, within 24 hours. This process of skin repair involves:
Bronzing: your skin will have a bronze appearance for 3 to 14 days, depending on the treatment level.

Flaking: Your skin will naturally and vigorously exfoliate as the reorganized skin replaces dead tissue. Flaking is similar to a minor sunburn, but without pain. Use of a moisturizer will mask the appearance of flaking.

Sunscreen: Use sunscreen at least twice daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during the healing phase and for several months after treatment. Apply moisturizing sun block containing zinc with an SPF of at least 30. For added protection from sunlight, use wide- brimmed hats.

Over the following weeks and months, the body repairs the deeper dermal tissue that have been affected by Fraxel Laser Treatment, producing beneficial changes that continue to improve over the next 2 to 3 months.
