Fraxel Laser Treatment uses lasers to create a thermal interaction to specific minute areas on the skin. The heat penetrates 400 to 700 microns into the skin and causes the skin to begin to repair itself by rebuilding collagen. Because the surrounding tissues are not damaged the targeted areas can heal faster and without any unsightly side effects like oozing or scabbing.

Fraxel Laser Treatment has been approved for all people on all skin surfaces. The precise hand piece used in treatment can handle tender, delicate areas such as the skin around the eyes or on the chest. See similar questions...

Fraxel Laser Treatment is very safe. Because it is non ablative with no incisions or skin layers removed, there is very little risk for infection. Fraxel penetrates the skin's surface, causing the work to be done underneath the top layers of the skin. See similar questions...

It is believed to work by destroying the peripheral part of the retina thereby reducing the nutrition requirement. The central vision is thus preserved at the cost of peripheral vision. Laser treatment is also believed to improve the retinal nutrition directly. this is often seen in diabetics and can be due to fluctuating blood sugar levels and changing lens refraction.

While results will vary from patient to patient, the level of change is often compared to more traditional ablative laser peel treatments. Skin looks more radiant, smooth and glowing. Lines and wrinkles are greatly minimized. Skin discolorations are faded or gone. In short, you can expect to look younger, healthier and more vibrant. See similar questions...

Lasers designed for permanent hair removal emit wavelengths of light designed to be absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin). If the surrounding skin is relatively light compared to the color of the hair then the entire energy of the laser will be concentrated in the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without affecting the skin or follicle. The ability of the laser to produce a very narrow bandwidth on a consistent basis is the key to a safe efficient treatment. See similar questions...

Yes. Most patients receive about five sessions, spaced about two weeks apart, depending on the type of conditions being treated. See similar questions...

Fraxel® Laser Treatment (FLT) is a "fractional" treatment that produces thousands of deep, tiny columns in your skin, called microthermal treatment zones. FLT is "fractional" in that it intensively treats old epidermal pigment cells without affecting any of the surrounding tissue, which reduces healing time and promotes the skin's natural process for creating new, healthier tissue to replace the damaged cells.

Most patients describe the treatment as having a "prickling" sensation. The topical anesthetic ointment and air cooling alleviates most discomfort. See similar questions...

Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. See similar questions...

You really don't feel too much. There may be a slight warming sensation since the laser uses an infrared wavelength. Or you might feel a little tingly sensation - some people think this is due to the increase in cellular energy output, or the increase in cell membrane permeability. See similar questions...

FLT is designed to target aging and sun damaged skin by targeting portions of specific damaged tissue. By creating microscopic "wounds" within the targeted areas well beneath the outer most epidermal layer of skin, Fraxel® Laser treatments trigger the body's natural healing process accelerating the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells.

Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by its target, be it an unwanted hair, birthmark, tattoo or in this case, the hemoglobin (the red portion of blood) in the unwanted vessels. The laser causes the vein to break up and disappear. There are several lasers available that work remarkably well in treating unwanted veins. See similar questions...
