We are born with smooth, baby like skin. As we go through life, our skin is subject to many experiences that make it less than perfect. Time, heredity and gravity work against us. Sun exposure, acne and smoking also take their toll, adversely affecting the health and appearance of the skin on our face, neck and chest. We notice the development of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, scars and a leathery texture.
The skin lacks luster and the complexion may become sallow. Fraxel® Re:store laser resurfacing can even the irregular pigment and remove much of the sun damage to reveal a smoother and glowing appearance. Fraxel® has also moved to the forefront as the first choice technology to treat some types of acne scars.
Fraxel® Laser resurfacing was introduced in 2005. This revolutionary technology uses laser energy to destroy tiny microscopic columns of skin, which are replaced with new collagen as the healing occurs over several days after the treatment. Dr. Alison Black and Cheryl Sundlov, PA-C typically recommend a series of four Fraxel® treatments over 4-6 months. After a series of treatments the skin becomes softer, smoother and fresher-appearing. The fine lines around the eyes will be noticeably reduced.
