Is treatment with Fraxel safe, especially if I have darker skin?
Fraxel is so safe that it is used in all skin colors and skin types. Traditional laser treatments target melanin and or have a higher risk of scarring. Since the laser light in Fraxel targets water and is fractionated it can be used in Asian, African-American, Latino and Middle-Eastern skin types.
What kind of results can I expect from Fraxel treatment?
Each Fraxel treatment results in improvements in the color, texture, and vitality of your skin. While it is impossible to completely reverse or erase the signs of aging or skin damage, Fraxel gets closer to this goal with each treatment.
How frequently do I need treatments?
A single treatment may be satisfactory for some, however treatments may be repeated once every 4-6 weeks or more for additional benefits.
Who performs the treatments?
Your treatments will be performed by our physician assistant.
Does Fraxel treatment hurt?
Prior to Fraxel treatment, we will provide a topical numbing (anesthetic cream) to make sure that the procedure is comfortable for you.
How long does treatment take?
Between 15 and 30 minutes.
What happens after each treatment?
You can return to routine activities in as little as one hour or, for more aggressive treatments, in a few days.To protect your skin after treatment, wear sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher (available at TMD), avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 months, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re in the sun |
