Many people are looking for just the right treatment to remove years from your appearance and regain a more youthful look. Whether you have sun-damaged skin, wrinkles or other signs of aging, a new laser treatment called Fraxel^® can deliver remarkable results with a fast recovery.  You can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin – and a renewed confidence.

Regardless of the level of sun damage you have or if you just desire prevention and maintenance, the Fraxel family of treatments has multiple FDA clearances, for:

• Wrinkles around the eyes

• Acne scars and surgical scars

• Age spots/sun spots

• Melasma (irregular patches of
brown skin on the forehead, cheeks,
upper lip and nose)

• Actinic keratosis (precancerous le-
sions)

• Skin resurfacing

• Irregular skin texture

• Sun-induced redness

The range of treatments varies in aggressiveness, downtime, number of procedures needed and results and can be done on the face or on various parts of the body.  The most aggressive treatment, Fraxel re:pair^®, can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. This is a single treatment but will require more downtime and after-treatment wound care.

Less aggressive treatments, like Fraxel re:store^® or Fraxel re:fine^®, can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 to 6 treatments.  Typically, there is no after treatment wound care with these treatments, and downtime is minimal.  Each treatment takes 20 to 25 minutes for a full face, and most people return to routine activities the very next day.  Most men and women experience immediate results and see the most benefit in three to five treatments.

These treatments are remarkably simple and can offer remarkable results.  Some of the benefits are:

• Dramatic results in a single treat-
ment

• Smoother, more even skin tone and
texture

• Softening of deep frown lines and
wrinkles

• Improved appearance of redness
caused by sun damage

• Smoother, fresher, younger-looking
skin

• Improved skin tone and texture

• Erasing of unwanted brown spots

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
around the eyes

• Improved appearance of acne scars
and surgical scars

When considering which treatment options are best for you, you and your trusted physician should discuss the trade-off between downtime and results to determine the best treatment option that fits your skin condition and lifestyle.
