Fraxel

A natural part of the facial aging process involves a decrease in your body’s natural production of collagen, a compound that keeps your skin looking voluminous and youthful. When your collagen levels drop, fine lines and wrinkles develop. Additionally, sun damage often manifests as uneven pigmentation and age spots.

Transform Your Skin with Fraxel Laser Resurfacing

Fortunately, advancements in laser technology offer an effective solution to these unwanted changes. Fraxel is a non-ablative, state-of-the-art laser resurfacing treatment available at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa. As San Diego’s skin rejuvenation leaders, the award-winning Changes surgical and MedSpa team offers their patients the highest caliber of new and groundbreaking treatments.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing Get to Know a New Laser Option

Fraxel harnesses the power of fractionated laser light to precisely target thousands of microscopic areas on the skin's surface. This process involves the use of pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin, eliminating old and damaged skin cells.

What sets Fraxel apart from more traditional options is this fractional approach, treating tiny areas while leaving bridges of untreated skin. This accelerates the recovery process and minimizes downtime, making it a sought-after option for skin rejuvenation, especially for busy patients who cannot take time off from their lives to recover from more invasive options.

The Benefits of Fraxel Skin Resurfacing

Fraxel offers a range of benefits that contribute to healthier, more vibrant skin. You too can feel the benefits of:

Smoother, Refreshed Skin

The treatment promotes a smoother and younger-looking skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Improved Tone and Texture

Fraxel enhances overall skin tone and texture, providing a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Scar Improvement

This treatment effectively addresses the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars, promoting a more even skin surface.

Versatile Treatment Areas

Fraxel is more than a pretty face. This laser treatment is suitable for various areas, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and back.

The Science Behind the Magic: How Fraxel Works

Before the Fraxel procedure, topical anesthesia is applied to ensure your comfort. During the treatment, cold air is used in the targeted area to further minimize any discomfort. Your provider may recommend prescribed medication to help you relax during the procedure. Post-treatment, you might experience a sensation similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within 1 to 3 hours.

Potential side effects include minor itching, dry skin, peeling, or flaking, along with a temporary bronzed appearance.

To maintain the results, it's crucial to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher and avoid direct sun exposure for at least three months post-treatment.

A series of 4 to 5 treatments is generally recommended, although noticeable improvement can often be seen after just one session. The skincare experts at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa will tailor the laser treatment to your skin type, color, condition, and individual goals. Consistency in treatments is key to achieving optimal results.
