For those of you who would like more information about the new gold standard in laser resurfacing, OC Health published my article about Fraxel CO2 re:pair laser resurfacing this month. Visit this link to learn more.
I am very pleased to announce we are the first office in South Orange County and one of the first nationwide to offer the Fraxel CO2 re:pair laser, the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatment available on the market today. Results of a Fraxel re:pair laser treatment approach the tightening and wrinkle removal that we normally see only after a facelift, with very few complications and limited downtime.
While we still love our Fraxel re:store (the gentler Fraxel we’ve been using for over 2 years), this new Fraxel re:pair will help treat deeper wrinkles plus tighten skin!
As opposed to traditional CO2 resurfacing lasers which ablate 100% of the skin (vaporize and remove it all at once), leading to extended downtime, wound care and high risk of complications, the Fraxel re:pair Laser is the first CO2 laser to treat the skin fractionally and deeply. The Fraxel re:pair lays down thousands of tiny microscopic wounds in the skin, penetrating much deeper than traditional ablative lasers, but leaving the cells around these tiny wounds untouched. The tissue in each of the microscopic wounds is removed with the use of the CO2 energy. The healthy tissue surrounding the wounds then contracts which leads to immediate tissue tightening. This spared tissue between treatment zones also promotes rapid healing while stimulating collagen production in the deep layers and new epidermal cells in the top layer.
Fraxel re:pair laser treats:
• Wrinkles- mild, moderate and deep
• Skin tone, texture and pore size
• Skin laxity (tightens and smoothes skin)
• Severe sun damage
• Pigmented lesions and skin discoloration
• Acne scars and surgical scars
We will be having a Night of Beauty featuring the Fraxel CO2 re:pair laser on October 30, 2008 from 6-8 m at the Doubletree Hotel, Doheny Beach in Dana Point. Join us for refreshments, gifts and a chance to win a free Fraxel laser treatment. We will also be offering discounts for treatments scheduled that evening. Attendance is limited so please call to RSVP if you would like to attend: 949-363-1788.
