FRAXEL re:store
Return to a More Youthful Complexion
Fraxel re:store® laser system is a non-invasive fractional resurfacing treatment for the face, neck, décolleté and other parts of the body. The Fraxel re:store laser treatment rejuvenates your skin correcting mild to moderate imperfections such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmented lesions (such as sun or age spots), uneven pigmentation (such as melasma), acne scars, surgical scars and actinic keratosis.
The Science Behind the Treatment
A fractional approach to skin resurfacing means that only a ‘fraction’ or part of the overall treatment area is targeted at a time. The Fraxel re:store laser creates thousands of microscopic laser columns deep into the dermis of the skin leaving the surrounding tissue completely untouched. This action activates the body's natural healing mechanisms prompting it to develop new, healthier tissue to replace the damaged cells. Because the surface layer of skin is not affected, there is little or no downtime associated with this procedure.
Fraxel Dual Restores More
Pacific Dermaesthetics utilizes the newest version of the technology in Vancouver, Fraxel re:store Dual. It boasts two different laser wave lengths for separate treatment modes: one specifically treats concerns that are deeper in the skin layers such as wrinkles or scarring, while the second effectively targets more superficial issues such as sun spots, age spots and tone and texture. The results are remarkable.
Why should you consider the Fraxel Dual over the original Fraxel re:store technology?
- Two treatment modes (lasers) to target multiple skin issues
- Increased comfort with focal cooling
- Ability to treat multiple areas on the body in a single session
- Faster treatment time
- Little to no downtime
Remarkable Results
Results with the Fraxel re:store laser are often visible immediately with many patients returning to their regular routine the following day. Over the course of the next few months, the skin will continue to produce new collagen, healing from the inside out. The effect is a much sought-after, fresher and younger appearance.
Some patients may require multiple sessions for best results, depending on the desired outcome. Additional sessions are generally spaced two to six weeks apart.
