Fraxel

Five treatments for $1,995 (normally $4,000)

Fraxel is a laser used to treat damages and aging skin by harmlessly penetrating the outer layer of the skin, resurfacing 15-20% of the epidermis during each session This method of treatment allows the skin to endure minimal damage during each session, and eliminates the downtime associated with the CO2 and Erbium lasers.

Fraxel is FDA-approved for skin resurfacing procedures; the photocoagulation of age spots, sun spots, and melasma; and the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. It can decrease the appearance of fine lines, decrease unwanted pigmentation (sun and age spots and freckles), improve acne and other scars, reduce pore size, and create an overall significant and very pleasant improvement of the complexion.

For a full-face treatment, the procedure takes about 30 minutes. To provide comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the treatment, and can be augmented with pain medication if necessary. The day following the laser procedure, patients can apply make-up and men can continue shaving as needed. Redness similar to sunburn and slight swelling will occur for 2 to 3 days following the treatment, but most patients can return to work the next day with ease. The greatest benefit is achieved with 4 to 5 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about two to three months.
