What side effects can I expect
after treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you will have some
degree of redness and swelling. Other temporary side
effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling,
flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance. We provide each
patient with specific instructions about what to expect
for their particular treatment and how to minimize side
effects.
What areas can I treat?
Face, neck, eyelids, chest and most other body areas for
improvement of texture, wrinkles and scars. This laser
can safely treat non-facial areas, a truly new advance
in the improvement of non-facial wrinkles, scars, and
texture. Treatment of stretchmarks is also very good
with this laser.
How painful is the treatment?
Mild treatments can be performed with topical
anesthesia only. For more
aggressive treatments, oral
sedation and tumescent local
anesthesia is used to make
the skin completely numb.
We do everything necessary
to make you completely
comfortable during your
treatment.
How do I take care
of my skin after
treatment?
Gentle cleansing and
frequent applications
of healing ointment are
important. Your provider
will recommend the best
skin care for your particular
treatment and needs.
Is it expensive?
All things are relative. While it’s certainly more expensive
than many of the wrinkle treatments offered by medispas
around town, a single Fraxel Repair treatment
offers better results than the equivalent of 6 or more
alternative treatments. If you do the math, you’ll find
it’s quite affordable. In short, if you’re bothered by your
wrinkles or scars, then it may be worth the investment
for you.
How do I know if Fraxel Repair
treatment is right for me?
Call and schedule a free consultation. We’d love to meet
with you, discuss your concerns, and then present your
best treatment options.
