Fraxel Restore was granted with FDA approval during July of 2005 for treating far more than just one skin condition. Primarily used on patients' faces, this Fraxel procedure safely helps individuals achieve younger and healthier looking skin in a limited number of treatment sessions.
Safety and Treatments
Fraxel Restore works for general skin resurfacing, Actinic Keratoses, pigmentation imbalances caused by aging or sun damage, scars caused by acne or surgeries, plus wrinkle and line removal. Every single one of these treatment types has received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
This non invasive skin rejuvenation option acts as one of the safest and effective ways to fix a number of common aesthetically related problems.
Effectiveness
Most patients who undergo the Fraxel Restore treatment see results after a few treatment sessions. Even though this Fraxel method uses high powered carbon dioxide lasers, patients see little to no downtime following their procedures. Generally, no side effects occur, primarily because lasers take the place of chemicals or other options that often produce allergic reactions in patients.
The Food and Drug Administration also gave the Fraxel Restore system approval for treating multiple conditions because of its lack of ability to produce infections, scarring and pigmentation damages in patients; other similar products use the carbon dioxide laser system for these same reasons.
