Fraxel Laser Sacramento, CA

There's a new laser being used to treat a variety of skin conditions and its been featured on a number of news programs including CNN, The View, CBS Morning Show & many others. The Fraxel laser has been approved by the FDA to treat a variety of important cosmetic conditions. It smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles, corrects skin discoloration, and is effective in treating acne scars. Skin damaged from sun exposure (age & liver spots), melasma and lentigos (freckles) on the face, neck, chest or hands are all treatable with Fraxel.

The Fraxel laser works differently that other laser resurfacing methods. The procedure delivers the laser energy in thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in the skin called microthermal zones. These zones penetrate deeply into the dermis producing collagen remodeling and reducing wrinkles. They also resurface the uppermost portion of the skin, resulting in the formation of new epidermal cells with reduction or complete elimination of uneven pigment. Further, the remaining areas of untouched skin between these microthermal zones allow the skin to heal much faster compared to conventional laser skin resurfacing.

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 tissue to replace skin imperfections. Thus it creates less downtime than other laser skin resurfacing methods. Most patients resume routine activities the next day.

The results of Fraxel® laser treatments are immediate and progressive. The laser stimulates the creation of new collagen — under acne scars, for example — producing positive long-term changes. Treatments take about an hour each, and are most effective when repeated three to five times, spaced a few weeks apart. Topical anesthetic cream will be used to enhance your comfort during the procedure.
