Say Goodbye to Summer Skin Damage with Fraxel Laser Resurfacing

Monday, April 25th, 2011

The heat of the summer is upon us once again and the sun’s harmful rays can do permanent damage to our skin. Using sun block to protect further skin degradation is a must but it will no longer cure uneven complexion and sunspots. This is where Fraxel Laser Resurfacing comes in. The Fraxel SR Laser is a pioneering dermatologic laser system that uses fractional resurfacing to rejuvenate the skin on the face and the neck. It can also be used to treat melasma, acne scars, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

In order to regain that even pigmentation and eliminate age and sun spots, Fraxel utilizes erbium laser energy – that delivers a treatment that is very safe and is non-ablative. Fraxel will also increase collagen production and improve skin texture.

The way the treatment works is by creating a controlled injury to specific target areas in the dermis, which is the skin layer beneath the epidermis or top most skin layer. By doing this, the epidermis or the surface layer of the skin is spared from any damage. The absorbed light energy in the dermis stimulates remodeling of the collagen and creates new skin protein in the process. The session will last about 30 minutes to an hour and best results will emerge after a series of treatments.

Skin damaged by prolonged exposure to sunlight is not the only condition that can be treated by laser resurfacing. Other skin problems that will benefit from Fraxel are rosacea, hyperpigmentation, liver spots, acne scars and minor surface irregularities. There are, however, minimal side effects that may arise from laser resurfacing. The skin may look sunburned after a treatment, but this is temporary and will subside after three days. Minimal skin redness may also occur for some but again, this will disappear and will only be noticeable for a few hours. There may be blisters, swelling, or mild pinkness resulting from the resurfacing but will also be transient.

So if you’ve been struggling with uneven skin tone and want to regain that healthy and radiant complexion even after extreme sun damage, Fraxel Laser Resurfacing at Beverly Hills 6750 may just be the answer for you.

Beverly Hills 6750 Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute is located at 11th Floor, 6750 Ayala Building, Ayala Avenue, Makati, Philippines. For inquiries, call 893-8888 or text 0917-893-6750, or visit the website at www.bh6750.com.

Fraxel Re:store – Advanced Skin Rejuvenation With Minimal Downtime

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

The next generation of skin rejuvenation is here!  It’s called Fraxel Re:store®, and it provides excellent results to your skin with less downtime than ever before.

The Fraxel fractional laser technology was first introduced in 2005. It has proven so effective that in 2006, Fraxel was awarded Best Product of the Year by Time Magazine and imitated by a growing number of laser manufacturers.

Now, however, the original Fraxel system has been enhanced to lessen downtime. Called Fraxel Re:store®, this device delivers a laser energy (Erbium laser) that does not create open wounds. The skin resurfacing process is spread out over 3 to 6 treatment sessions, depending on the condition being treated.  The typical reaction to the treatment is that of a moderate sunburn. There is minimal downtime and risks compared to traditional or older ablative treatments.

This Fraxel Re:store® laser repairs damaged skin by treating only a fraction of the skin at a time without breaking its protective outer barrier, leaving the area surrounded by unaffected, healthy tissue. It allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area was treated at once, using the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen, thereby creating new, healthy, and tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.

Fraxel Re:store® provides a highly effective, predictable and safe treatment for those with acne scarring, melasma or hormonal skin discoloration, periorbital wrinkles, surgical scars, and age/sun spots. It also appears to improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Fraxel is effective on the face as well as on the hands, arms, décolleté and almost any other area where improvement to the skin condition is desired.
