Over time, our skin begins to display the effects of aging. Natural factors such as sun exposure, gravity, and hormones can actually speed up the aging process.
 
Our skin begins to break down resulting in fine lines around the eyes and lips, deeper lines and grooves in the brow, and much more. One day we wake up to find that our face no longer has that youthful, vibrant appearance it once had, or that we would like it to have.

Fraxel Laser Treatment (FLT) is an innovative, non-invasive laser therapy designed to dramatically repair fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars while improving skin texture and pigmentation–even on delicate skin. It is a proven, safe approach to repairing aging and sun-damaged skin, with many of the benefits of ablative laser skin resurfacing, but without the downtime, side effects, and lengthy recovery periods.

  • Fraxel is for people who want to look good and want real results, but don’t want the overly-drastic change or extended downtimes that comes with surgery. Fraxel fits into any lifestyle and your current beauty regimen:
  • Non-invasive, clinically proven to be safe, easily managed into your routine
  • Real change you just can’t get from lotions and creams
  • Simple, effective treatment that really reverses signs of aging

Fraxel is the original fractional laser treatment that works below the skin’s surface from the top down, addressing imperfections like fine lines, visible photo aging, wrinkles, scarring and age spots. Fraxel light energy stimulates your skin’s natural collagen, rejuvenating skin cells below the surface to help smooth the creases and pockets that cause wrinkles and scars. Fraxel only treats targeted problem areas – so the results are focused and effective.

A typical treatment regemin consists of betwee 3 to 6 sessions, which are approximately 30 minutes long, and scheduled on to three weeks apart. During your consultation, Dr. Honeycutt will establish the number of treatments necessary as well as the frequency.

A novel approach to laser skin treatment, Fraxel represents a new science and category of cosmetic skin surgery that offers patients the positive results of ablative laser resurfacing with the low-impact benefits of non-ablative laser or light-based therapies. Unlike the often prolonged healing involved with ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin, the Fraxel Laser Treatment procedure produces tiny, microscopic sites of thermal impact separated by areas of unaffected, healthy tissue. The spared healthy tissue between treatment zones contains viable cells that promote rapid healing of the outer skin layers.

Wrinkles, poor texture, large pores, sun spots, brown spots, scars, melisma, and uneven pigmentation can be treated successfully with the Fraxel laser. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about 2 to 3 months.

Side effects are minimal and usually limited to a sunburn-like redness that disappears anywhere from an hour to a day or two, depending on the level of treatment you have received. Discomfort fades quickly, but the skin may maintain a bronzed or pinkish tone for 5 to 7 days. You may also experience some mile swelling for up to 3 days. As the new epidermal tissue replaces the damaged tissue, your skin will flake off. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Honeycutt and discover how Fraxelᵀᴹ can benefit you.
