The specialized Fraxel Restore skin treatment process serves a select group of patients. Candidates who seek intensive skin renewal often seek other treatments, as this unique procedure works to fix less extreme skin aging and wrinkles.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Fraxel Restore works very well for patients seeking improvement to moderate aging effects and wrinkles of the face. Those who have a moderate amount of uneven skin pigmentation also find benefits and desirable results after undergoing the skin renewal procedure.
Most patients who use the Fraxel Restore treatment fall into the age group of 30 to 50 years, although some patients of older ages use the treatment as well. The treatment works well on patients with near white skin tones, plus those with brown, freckled or live skin types.
Who Isn't a Good Candidate?
Those who seek one time treatments do not serve as practical candidates for the Fraxel Restore procedure, as most patients require at least three treatments in order to obtain desirable results. This skin renewal procedure also requires patients to take cautionary steps post treatment.
Unlike other treatments designed to allow patients complete freedom from social downtown post treatment, Fraxel Restore does cause patients some discomfort, or at least enough to cause a few days worth of in-home rest. Injectable treatments often provide immediate patient release with zero down time.
