FRAXEL ® LASER Treatments
in Indianapolis, Indiana
If you have been considering the FRAXEL ® Laser to improve the appearance of your skin, Indianapolis board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata can help. Laser skin resurfacing has been one of the most popular skin treatments for the past decade, and recent advances in laser technology have made laser treatments more effective and affordable than ever.
Early Laser Treatments-Indianapolis, Indiana
All lasers heat the skin at a controlled depth to stimulate the production of new skin and collagen. The name for this technique is Laser Skin Resurfacing.
The first laser used for skin resurfacing was the CO2 laser, but it had significant drawbacks. The CO2 laser had a prolonged down time (red skin for months) and more frequent than expected problems with scarring and abnormally light skin (hypopigmentation). The complications associated with the CO2 laser led to the development of lower energy lasers, which were safer but not as effective.
The FRAXEL ® Laser-Indianapolis, Indiana
The FRAXEL ® Laser is the first laser that is safe, effective, and has no downtime. We believe the FRAXEL ® Laser is the best combination of safety and effectiveness ever offered in a laser. The FRAXEL ® Laser is unique in that it uses microscopic laser beams that penetrate your skin without damaging the surface.
The pigment of age or sun spots will gradually work its’ way to the surface and old skin cells will flake off. New collagen will form beneath the surface, which fills out and firms up the skin to diminish fine wrinkles and acne scars.
Advantages of the FRAXEL ® Laser are:
- No down time.
- Minimal risk of infection and scars.
- It can be used to treat the neck, chest and hands.
- It can improve stretch marks from pregnancy.
To get the best results with the FRAXEL ® Laser, you will need four to five treatments. Treatments are performed in our office with topical anesthesia, and the cost of four treatments is often less than one treatment with a CO2 laser.
FRAXEL ® Laser Recovery-Indianapolis, Indiana
You will experience some redness and swelling for a couple of days. By the third day your skin may have a bronze hue as the pigment works its’ way to the surface. Any discolorations can easily be covered with makeup, and they are usually gone within one week.
You may experience some dryness and flaking as your old, dead skin cells are shed. Use a mild moisturizer, such as Aveeno® or Cetaphil®. You will also need a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
