Your Choice for Fraxel Restore | Greenwich

Laser skin rejuvenation is one of the five most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. The laser du jour for skin rejuvenation is the Fraxel. There are four varieties including Fraxel re:fine, Fraxel re:store, Fraxel Dual and Fraxel re:pair.

The Fraxel laser treats a mere fraction of the skin's surface. In fact, only 15 to 30 percent of the skin is affected by Fraxel laser treatment.  Fraxel skin rejuvenation creates tiny wounds in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis). Each wound is surrounded by untreated skin, helping to repair the treated area via a controlled wound-healing process. The epidermis remains undamaged while the deeper layer begins to heal. Old skin cells slough off and the skin gradually repairs itself, encouraging collagen regeneration.

A protein found in connective tissue, collagen maintains the skin's integrity, but breaks down with advancing age. The breakdown of collagen can lead to the development of wrinkles, lines and folds in the skin. Regenerating collagen, however, can improve skin elasticity, tone and appearance.

A candidate for Fraxel laser rejuvenation are people who have age spots, sun damage, acne scars, wrinkles near the eye, and stretch marks. If so, you may be .

Fraxel laser therapy is approved for a variety of rejuvenating treatments, including the shrinking of large pores. It is the first and only laser approved for treatment of melasma (the mask of pregnancy), a condition marked by brown patches on both sides of the face, including the cheeks, bridge of nose, forehead and upper lip. Fraxel therapy can be used to treat the neck, chest and hands.

Preparing for Fraxel Laser Treatment

Our Practationer will clean your skin, after which a topical anesthetic will be applied approximately one hour before initiating Fraxel laser treatment. When the procedure begins, you will likely feel slight pressure with each pulse of the laser. It may feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. The treatment takes approximately half an hour to an hour to complete, depending on the size of the treated area.

Following Fraxel treatment, your skin will be pink for a few days. This laser skin rejuvenation treatment involves little down-time, meaning you can go from your doctor's office right back to your office. You may feel like you have a sunburn. Some people develop a slight tan a few weeks after treatment.  Multiple treatments are frequently necessary and are done once a month, but the exact number of Fraxel treatments needed to achieve your desired results will vary.

It's smart to keep the skin moisturized after treatment with the Fraxel laser. Also, wear sun protection with a sun protection factor of 30 or above that is re-applied as much as possible during the day. You can wear makeup to hide some of the redness. The full results will usually evolve over several months post treatment.
