If you have age damage – including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and more – you know that anti-aging creams alone just won’t cut it. That’s why you’re looking for a treatment that does more, without requiring surgery or incisions.
So what is the best way to fade age damage? Let’s find out!
Fraxel laser skin resurfacing is one of the best ways to fade age damage, particularly in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. This popular laser treatment creates microchannels within the dermal tissue, which immediately triggers collagen and elastin production. As a result, cellular turnover skyrockets and older skin sheds away to reveal younger, smoother-looking skin.
Most patients only need about three to five Fraxel treatments to see incredible results. These results include rejuvenated skin, with significant improvement in wrinkles and fine lines.
Keep in mind that your Fraxel laser treatments should be scheduled about six weeks apart, as this gives your skin the time it needs to fully heal after each procedure.
There is some downtime associated with the Fraxel laser treatment, so patients should expect to spend a few days off from work. During these first few days, you should expect to see redness, flaking, and minor scabbing. Some patients do experience minor discomfort, which can be treated with over-the-counter medication and cold compresses. This scabbing tends to disappear after about one to two weeks, leaving behind smoother and younger-looking skin.
Most patients choose to return to work about a week after their Fraxel laser treatment.
"I had my 1st of three fraxel laser treatments 4 days ago. I was very apprehensive since I had heard that it could be painful. The nurses and medical staff were very accepting of my nervousness and answered all my questions concerning the procedure, which helped me to relax. Dr. Pilest was very gentle and watched my face for signs of discomfort. He would work around sensitive areas on my face when I showed signs of pain, coming back to those areas later for short bursts of laser. The staff made sure I was well informed concerning after care and what to expect. I have to say, one of the most professional offices I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 30+ years… so I know of what I speak. Highly recommended!"
