After a series of Fraxel® treatments, you can expect smoother, fresher, younger looking skin. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel re:store® treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest, abdomen and hands. This non-ablative treatment will enhance and complement other aesthetic treatments that we offer, such as Botox, Facial Fillers, and Titan Skin Tightening.

How Does Fraxel re:store® work?

Fraxel treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with a microscopic laser which penetrates deep into the skin to treat only a fraction of skin tissue at a time. Your surrounding tissue will not be affected, resulting in rapid healing. Your body’s natural healing process will replace the old, damaged cells with healthy skin.

Who is a candidate?

Before	After

Men or women of any age and skin type who are looking for a significant change in their skin surface without extended downtime may benefit from this treatment.

How many Fraxel® treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will depend on your skin condition to be treated, your desired outcome and lifestyle. Dr. Normand Miller, Medical Director at the Aesthetic & Vein Center MD will work with you to determine the aggressiveness of the treatment and the associated downtime. Generally, a series of 3 to 5 treatments will be recommended.

How soon will I see the results and are they permanent?

The results will be both immediate and progressive. Usually, you will start seeing brighter skin 4-7 days after treatment. Over the following 3 to 6 months, the deeper layers of your skin will continue to heal and show improvement. The results are permanent; however your ability to maintain those results will depend on your sun exposure and aging process.

What will I look like immediately after the Fraxel® treatment?

Before	After

Your skin will be red immediately following the treatment (comparable to a moderate to severe sunburn). This will last for approximately 2-4 days. By the second to third day, the redness will deepen into a more tanned appearance and will quickly diminish. You can also expect some swelling in the treated area for a few days following treatment. The aggressiveness of the treatment will influence these symptoms.

Is the treatment uncomfortable?

We will provide a topical anesthetic and cool air on the treated area to minimize any discomfort you may experience. Most people describe the treatment as a sensation of heat with mild discomfort. After the treatment, your skin will feel like you suffered a sunburn.
