Fraxel, Active FX and Deep FX CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatments effectively treat wrinkles, pigmented lesions, skin texture and tone.

What is Skin Rejuvenation?

 

Over time our skin changes and we begin to see the effects of aging and sun damage. There are a number of cosmetic treatment options for Skin Rejuvenation utilizing our innovative laser technology. These treatments now make it possible to erase fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and effectively treat pigmented lesions. Fraxel is the first non-invasive FDA approved treatment of its kind. This non-invasive laser results in smoother, younger looking skin. The Fraxel laser is a fractionated erbium beam that eliminates old, damaged skin cells. The treatment stimulates the body's own natural healing process which replaces damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. The collagen beneath the skin is stimulated, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. Maximum results are typically seen in just 3-5 sessions, spaced approximately 3-6 weeks apart.

Another option is the ActiveFX laser treatment which uses the UltraPulse Encore laser, a fractionated CO2 laser. The laser's unique technology of short-duration, high-energy, and pulsed delivery treats imperfections and produces a dramatic effect on the skin tone and texture by eliminating uneven pigmentation caused by sun damage and age. The treatment causes immediate collagen contraction which reduces fine lines and wrinkles and softens deep frown lines. The upper layer of inelastic skin peels away, thereby regenerating a layer of new, healthy skin. This is a one-time treatment and the healing time usually lasts 5 days with long-lasting results.

The DeepFX treatment also uses the UltraPulse Encore laser, using micro beams of fractional CO2 laser to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin. The fractional DeepFX laser only ablates a narrow column of tissue and leaves healthy, untouched skin behind. The treatment aids in tightening and remodeling the deeper layers of collagen, thereby reducing deep wrinkles. The healing time lasts 5-7 days, producing dramatic results. Additionally, the skin responds by stimulating organic growth of new collagen that continues for up to 12 months.

 

Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation

 

Fraxel laser treatment addresses fine lines and wrinkles, age spots (sun spots), acne scars, melasma, discoloration, uneven pigmentation, and irregular texture. Fraxel treatment creates smoother, healthier and younger looking skin with improved tone, texture and pore size. There is minimal discomfort or down time with this procedure and skin is rejuvenated, while softening wrinkles. The ActiveFX laser treats sun spots, precancerous lesions, and brown and red spots. The laser causes collagen contraction and tightening of the skin. New collagen formation is stimulated, plumping the skin and eliminating wrinkles. This treatment produces immediate dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture and will continue to gradually increase over time. A majority of patients show improvement for up to 12 months after the procedure.

Unlike most lasers on the market, the DeepFX Fractional CO2 Laser penetrates deep enough into the skin to remodel and stimulate new collagen. With just a single treatment, you will notice a dramatic improvement in scars, wrinkles and texture. Additionally, the skin responds by stimulating organic growth of new collagen that continues for up to 6 months. Results of the treatment are long-lasting and with proper skin care will last for years.

 

Who Needs Skin Rejuvenation?

 

Whether you are just beginning to see the first signs of aging or you are experiencing deep wrinkles and sagging skin, laser treatments are highly effective in Skin Rejuvenation. Fraxel works on all skin types, unlike other lasers that are not as effective in treating African-American, Latino or Asian skin, the Fraxel laser is a great option. If you have a busy lifestyle and you want immediate noticeable improvement in your skin, ActiveFX is a good choice for you. Uneven pigmentation and red and brown discoloration, sallowness, and fine lines and wrinkles are remarkably reduced with minimal downtime. If you are looking for optimal improvement in wrinkles and lines around the eyes, lower lids and cheeks, DeepFX treats these areas phenomenally well. The results of the CO2 Laser Treatment are dramatic and long-lasting.
