Fraxel Laser Resurfacing in Philadelphia

Fraxel can improve texture, skin tone, and pore size, erase unwanted brown spots, smooth wrinkles around the eyes and acne scars, rejuvenate your neck, chest and hands, and all with very minimal downtime. Fraxel Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every microthermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections. After treatment, you will experience a mild sunburn sensation for about an hour and then minimal discomfort. The skin will have a pinkish tone for 5 to 7 days. This is a normal sign that the skin is deeply healing. Swelling is minimal and generally resolves in 2 to 3 days. You may apply make-up or shave soon after treatment. Some patients are able to return to routine activities, including work and social obligations, the same day of treatment. Others require a little more time, depending upon their skin condition and treatment. Please consult your physician to understand how Fraxel Laser Treatment will fit into your schedule.

"Our specialty is based on creating minimally invasive technologies such as this vein laser, to treat age old medical and cosmetic problems, without leaving a stitch behind. It is simply not necessary anymore to have surgery for varicose veins. This laser allows us to treat the source of a person's problem, quickly and effectively, with better results than surgical stripping. Instead of a painful procedure with a long recovery time, you are up and walking right away and more importantly, it's safe. There are many more examples of how lasers are able to achieve results that would have been impossible even a few years ago. These minimally invasive laser technologies are meeting their intended goal; they are making people's lives better, both in terms of aesthetics and health, with a minimal disruption in terms of lifestyle."
