Fraxel Repair Laser treatment is one of the revolutionary ways to reverse the signs of skin aging. Fraxel Repair is a fractionized CO2 laser treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin, erase unwanted dark spots, reduce wrinkles and treat acne scars in a single procedure.
Fraxel Repair can treat all types of cosmetic damage by isolating imperfections and leaving the healthy skin untouched through its fractional therapy technology. The result is a smoother skin and tighter tissue, with improved skin tone and texture. Fraxel Repair is a complete "one stop shop" for total skin rejuvenation and should meet most patients' expectations. But for patients who want to achieve maximum results, Fraxel Repair can be combined with other dermatological procedures like light facial, skin rejuvenating and skin tightening treatments.
Radio Frequency Treatment
Fraxel repair can be combined with non-invasive radio frequency procedures for skin tightening and contouring, like the Thermage treatment. Thermage utilizes unique radio frequency technology to heat the deep layers of the skin safely, while cooling the surface to keep it intact. If you want gradual and natural looking results in a non-invasive treatment, the combination of Fraxel Repair and Thermage can be suitable for you.
Intense Pulse Light Treatment
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or photorejuvenation can be combined with Fraxel Repair to remove redness and dilated blood vessels, dark spots and help tighten the skin and pores. This is also a safe and non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your needs.
Injectable Filler and Botox
Fraxel Repair can combine with Botox to address and relax moderate to deep wrinkles and furrow lines, and help completely eliminate further signs of aging in targeted areas. Skin fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or Radiasse can also help smooth out furrows, improve the eyebag areas and plump up the lips for a more thorough make-over. However, since Fraxel laser affects deep thermal tissue, it should not be done on top of recently-placed dermal filler, since it can break down the filler material. It is best to wait for 2 months after dermal filler treatments before getting Fraxel Repair treatment.
Chemical Peels
A medium chemical peel can combine with Fraxel Repair for better skin results. Chemical peel is a non-invasive procedure that improves the color, freshness, skin tone and texture, and helps diminish fine wrinkles. Patients have combined TCA Peel with Fraxel Repair and achieved good results. Both treatments are safe ways to promote skin vitality.
Facelift
Facelift surgery is for patients who need more than just skin rejuvenation and wrinkle correction treatment. Fraxel Repair can be combined with a facelift surgical procedure, provided the surgeon is careful when using the laser over the skin that has been lifted. The laser can be used more aggressively on areas where the skin has not been undermined, like the forehead, around the mouth or the eyes. Because Fraxel Repair is a fractionated laser treatment, it is safer to use with a facelift than fully ablative laser devices like Erbium. With Fraxel Repair, some of the skin is left untouched to help with the healing process. Like all other dermatological and surgical procedures, it is important to seek a trained and well-skilled surgeon or specialist to ensure maximum results with minimum risk during and after treatment.
