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.We’re Here to Help You
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.
