Skin rejuvenation and tightening procedures done with the Fraxel laser can repair fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars while enhancing skin texture and pigmentation, it even works on delicate skin. Fraxel can repair aging and sun-damaged skin, with many of the benefits of other laser skin resurfacing, but without the downtime, side effects and long recovery period. Fraxel cost is on average a $1000 per treatment.
A topical anesthesia is used. Your cosmetic surgeon will glide a hand held laser across the area that is going to be treated. A cooling device is used to blow chilled air across the skin as it is being treated. The laser delivers tiny dots of energy that feel like a heated prickling sensation. The procedure lasts about 30 minutes.

Dr. Newman developed a unique approach to all patient care during his journey to become Board Certified in General Surgery, in that he treats all patients as though they were his own brother, sister, mother, or father. By doing so, no recommendation he makes to patients deviates from what he would recommend to his own family member. He has continued this philosopy into his practice of plastic surgery which can be challenging at times because having plastic surgery can be such an emotional endeavor for patients.
Having plastic surgery is a personal, emotional decision for all patients. While there are many factors that are taken into consideration in choosing your plastic surgeon, be sure to choose one with which you feel comfortable. Most plastic surgery practices try to sell services to patients without listening to what the patient desires. We are not salesmen at Florida Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Whether you are looking for breast implants, unsure about liposuction versus tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), or simply need treatment of sun damaged skin and skin cancer, we listen to your concerns, provide you with options, and assist you in the decision making process. No pressure! It’s like having your own Personal Plastic Surgeon!
