The Fraxel re:pair™ laser, or the Fractional Microablative CO2 laser, has been touted as the biggest breakthrough in wrinkle removal in the last 5 to 10 years and a “mini medical miracle”. According to realself.com, 86% of consumers that underwent Fraxel Re:Pair report satisfaction with the procedure.
The Fraxel re:pair laser system is currently approved by the FDA to treat:
Wrinkles
Loss of skin elasticity
Sun-induced redness (vascular dyschromia)
Sun and age spots (pigmented lesions)
Irregular texture
Fraxel re:pair is a true non-surgical alternative to more invasive surgical and resurfacing procedures: it reduces the risks and recovery time associated with facelifts or other resurfacing procedures significantly. It is also considered a potential facelift avoidance procedure for some patients.
The advanced technology of the Fraxel re:pair laser system offers deeper dermal laser penetration (depths of 1.6mm) than traditional treatments, and is delivered by laser pulses in fractional patterns. The laser vaporizes tiny columns of tissue on the skin's surface, while leaving the surrounding tissue untreated. This method stimulates the body’s natural skin cell and collagen regenerative responses. It also spurs faster healing to reduce the pain and recovery time that is needed with traditional vaporizing treatments.
Fraxel re:pair technology is effective not just for your face, but also neck, shoulders, arms, hands and other parts of the body.
After Fraxel re:pair treatment, patients can expect mild redness and swelling. Other less common side effects include minor itching, dryness, peeling and flaking of the skin. These side effects are usually milder and shorter than those of other resurfacing procedures, subsiding within a few days. Most patients can return to work and other regular activities shortly after treatment. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for your skin after the Fraxel re:pair treatment.
