What is Fraxel Restore?
Fraxel Restore is a non-ablative advanced technology that uses fractional lasers to penetrate the top layers of the skin. Controlled microscopic abrasions are made within the target area. These abrasions, or "wounds" stimulate the production of collagen which helps your body to naturally smooth out the affected skin.
Does Fraxel Restore Work For Sun Damaged Skin?
Yes. While the procedure cannot reverse skin cancer, it can help erase some of the sun's visible effects on your skin. Damage caused by the sun speeds up your skin's aging process and can cause wrinkles, discoloration, and sunspots to appear. Fraxel Restore works to break up the cells over these areas and your body's natural healing process is accelerated, leaving you with younger looking and smoother skin. It can also have benefits with other problem areas like:
- Freckling and scars
-
Fine Lines and wrinkles
- Discolouration and uneven skin tone
-
Stretch marks
- Age Spots
Am I A Good Candidate for Fraxel Restore?
The majority of people can undergo the procedure without complications. However, if you have certain skin conditions or are taking certain medications like steroids, Fraxel Restore is not recommended. A specialist will consult with you before your appointment to be certain you are a good fit and to explain to you how the treatment works.
Does The Procedure Hurt?
Many people have a "pins and needles" or burning sensation. The clinician will use a numbing cream on your face and will have other cooling methods in place to help minimize any discomfort you have. Once at home, you should avoid using any cosmetics or lotions on the skin that has been treated. Any residual pain can be treated with cold ice packs and an over the counter pain reliever.
Does Fraxel Restore Really Have Good Results?
Absolutely. Because your body's own natural healing process is triggered, the healing begins immediately. You will see results like a younger looking, healthier, and brighter complexion as your skin forces older, damaged skin out and new cell growth to take its place. You will begin to see results as days and weeks go by. Full healing takes from 4 to 6 weeks.
