Fraxel Restore is a laser treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin and help remove skin blemishes like dark spots, mild to moderate wrinkles and facial lines, acne scars, and skin problems due to sun damage. This procedure is FDA approved to be used on the face, neck, hands and chest, or anywhere else on your body that shows significant sun damage and skin blemishes.
Fraxel Restore is a non-ablative, low-downtime treatment procedure that uses microscopic laser columns to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin. Fraxel Restore uses a unique fractional laser resurfacing technology that leaves the surrounding tissue intact and unaffected during treatment.
Maximum results can be achieved with a series of Fraxel Restore Laser Treatment. A patient is advised to undergo 3 to 5 treatment sessions depending on their skin condition.
There are other similar treatments that can be used in combination with Fraxel Restore to get the effect that you want quickly:
Laser Treatments
Other skin rejuvenation treatments can be combined with Fraxel Restore treatment. For patients who want optimum results in less time, they can choose Fraxel Restore with Fraxel Repair. Fraxel Repair Laser Treatment is similar to Fraxel Restore; both procedures are effective for acne scars, melasma and wrinkle treatment. However, Fraxel Repair is more invasive and can treat more serious skin problems that Fraxel Restore is unable to erase. Fraxel Repair is designed for only one treatment session, so in conjunction with Fraxel Restore, the combination can give you better skin results in a faster time.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peel treatment can further enhance your skin color, tone and texture, and it can produce better results when combined with Fraxel Restore. Like Fraxel Restore, light to medium chemical peel treatments are non-invasive and proven safe and effective for patients with these skin problems. Chemical peels can help erase deeper wrinkles and furrows, and acne scars. You might need more than one treatment session with a chemical peel, so combining it with Fraxel Restore can also give you maximum results faster than when done alone.
RF Treatments
Radio Frequency (RF) energy is also a skin tightening and rejuvenation procedure that achieves healthier and younger looking skin. It produces natural looking skin and can improve the overall condition of your skin. The use of radio frequency energy for skin rejuvenation is also proven safe and effective and can help enhance the results of a Fraxel Restore treatment.
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation, or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, is an innovative treatment designed to correct skin problems like blemishes, signs of photo-aging, facial skin imperfections and birthmarks. Like Fraxel Restore, this is also a non-invasive solution that can effectively give you a long-term improvement in your skin complexion and overall condition. There is no downtime when undergoing this procedure like Fraxel Restore, and it can further treat broken veins and capillaries, reduce sun damage effects, and other imperfections that Fraxel Restore is unable to treat.
These are only some of other non-invasive dermatological procedures that are considered safe when combined with a light laser treatment like Fraxel Restore. However, it is best to consult with your specialist before combining treatments in order to achieve the best possible result.
