Benefits of Fraxel® Skin Rejuvenation

Is your skin dull, filled with acne scars, age spots, fine lines, and pigmentations? With the Fraxel® laser in Los Angeles, you can peel them all away and reveal a new layer of glowing, healthy skin. It can help you look refreshed with minimal downtime and a single treatment. Fraxel® laser treatment is a non-surgical procedure done for facial rejuvenation. It is a laser resurfacing treatment to treat signs of aging on your skin. Fraxel® is an FDA approved laser device used by dermatologists. If you are wondering whether the Fraxel® laser in Los Angeles is right for you, talk to Dr. Kia, who specializes in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Fraxel® laser treatment is an excellent choice if you would like to improve the texture and tone of your skin, fix the effects of damage done by sun exposure, surface scarring, pigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines.

How Does Fraxel® Skin Rejuvenation Work?

Fraxel® laser delivers tiny pinpoints of laser light on the targeted area of choice. The lasers target your sun damaged aging skin with microscopic laser columns. The laser penetrates deep into your skin and accelerates the collagen growth in the body. The Fraxel® laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissues on your skin intact. This treatment stimulates the growth of new healthy skin cells. The Fraxel® laser improves the texture, tone, and radiance of your skin that has scars or marks due to sun damage.

What Can I Expect?

Dr. Kia will start by explaining the treatment procedure to you. You will need to stop using products with retinol a week prior to your treatment. On the day of the procedure, applying numbing cream to the targeted area will make you feel comfortable during the process. The full effects of the numbing cream will take an hour to start. Once the numbing cream is at its best results, your eyes will remain under cover, and the treatment begins. You may feel the heat during the procedure, but the laser blows cold air to keep you comfortable during the process. Feeling pain will depend on your level of tolerance and the intensity of the treatment. Dr. Kia will advise against Fraxel® laser if you have extensive breakouts, open wounds, or infections on your face.

What Do I Do Post-Op?

Immediately after your Fraxel® treatment, your skin may feel as if it has been sunburned. Dr. Kia will suggest post-treatment care for your skin. You will be asked to use ice packs to reduce the burning sensation because redness and bronzed skin are common afterwards and may reduce in a week or two. The doctor will suggest a sunscreen SPF 30 or higher and a moisturizer that will help you reduce the appearance of dry flakes. It would help if you avoid direct exposure to the sun for at least three months. Everyone recovers differently from the treatment and the downtime, though minimal, depends on the sensitivity of the skin and the intensity of the procedure.
