Are Fraxel lasers safe for face treatment in New Orleans?

Patients who have imperfections on the face and live in the New Orleans, LA area are welcome to speak to the team at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology to work with a Board-certified professional to learn about laser treatment options including the Fraxel laser.

What is Fraxel?

The Fraxel laser t offers amazing laser skin resurfacing solutions for patients who are ready to address a variety of imperfections on their skin, including poor texture, irregular pigmentation and tone. Some of the other reasons patients may consider Fraxel treatment include improvement of:

• Large pores
• Actinic Keratoses
• Stretch marks
• Acne scarring
• Surgical scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Age spots
• Periorbital wrinkles
• Sun damage

Fraxel works by stimulating the body’s natural skin cell turnover to achieve a more attractive appearance and address damaged or troublesome areas of the face or body. Using laser light, this skin rejuvenation can happen in just one appointment and allows patients to see gradual improvement in their skin’s appearance and texture. Additionally, many problems, such as hyperpigmentation, are often reduced with just one treatment.

Are Fraxel lasers safe?

Yes! Dr. Lupo only uses laser devices in her practice that have been cleared by the FDA to ensure safety and efficiency. Her facility is equipped with many different laser devices that can be used for treatment of skin problems or for cosmetic purposes. She encourages patients to ask about safety and learn about FDA approval.

What are the advantages to using Fraxel therapies instead of alternative treatment options?

While there are many dermatology treatments available at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology, including microdermabrasion and chemical peels, it is important to note that laser treatments are much more advanced and provide faster improvements in the skin. The skin looks smooth, fresh, and more youthful. Problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, or acne scars are made much less noticeable after just one treatment. Overall texture and tone are enhanced, ensuring amazing results that far exceed the patient’s expectations. Fraxel is safe, effective, and affordable for many of our patients seeking non-invasive solutions that can be used for improvement of the facial area.

Who can be treated with Fraxel therapies?

In the past, certain lasers would only work well on certain types of skin. Fortunately, with continued improvements in laser therapies, patients of all skin and hair colors, and types, can benefit from treatment with Fraxel. Our board certified dermatologists will assess your skin and determine if Fraxel laser therapy is best for your specific needs.

How long does it take for the results of Fraxel treatment to become noticeable?

The day of treatment, many patients will experience redness and sensitivity in their skin. As the days progress, the skin cells begin to turn over and patients will see a complete change in how their skin looks and feels. The skin becomes smoother and softer, and patients will see that their skin tone is more even. Because Fraxel addresses the deep layers of the skin and stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, patients will notice improvements even months after their first treatment. To maintain the results patients have achieved with their Fraxel services, we encourage patients to take care of their skin with a proper skin care regimen every day. This may include special cleansers, topical moisturizers, toners, and regular application of sunscreen to protect this new skin from sun damage. Patients who follow a strict skin care regimen after Fraxel will enjoy their results for many years! The doctors will recommend products to maintain your results.
