Article of the Week - Coming Soon the new Fraxel CO2 Re:pair Laser
I am very excited to announce that we are the first office in South Orange County to have the Fraxel CO2 Re:pair Laser. This is a new laser that became available this year, that takes the regular Fraxel (now known as the Fraxel “re:store” to the next level. Best of all, you will only need 1 treatment!
Many of you may be familiar with the old CO2 lasers that did a great job in removing wrinkles and scars but had several weeks of down time, left the skin red for months and had a high incidence of depigmentation (loss of color.) Because of these effects the CO2 laser fell out of favor among both physicians and patients and many physicians such as myself stopped using it.
The Fraxel CO2 re:pair laser combines fractionalized laser technology with CO2 technology to give us the best of both worlds: deeper, more effective treatment of wrinkles and scars, plus great skin tightening (some researchers feel it might eventually replace face lifts) with the faster healing and decreased down time of Fraxel, with just 1 treatment.
Yes, there will be some downtime (everything is always a compromise!), but it will be only 3-5 days, not weeks. Also, according to the company there has not been any reports of depigmentation to date.
We will be ready to start treating patients in a few weeks. Call my office at 949-363-1788 if you would like to be put on our interest list for this incredible treatment (no obligation, we’ll just let you know when we start scheduling treatments.) I will have an informational handout and page on my website shortly. We will also be havng an informational seminar October 30th in the evening. More information to follow.
