Some of the most common and frustrating cosmetic issues that many men and women struggle with are issues with the skin. Whether it be wrinkles and fine lines, discoloration and pigment issues, or skin laxity, all of these skin blemishes can make you feel that you look older than you are or less attractive than you desire.
While there are numerous options available to you (including surgical procedures like facelift surgery and minimally invasive treatments like injectables) many of these options do not actively correct some of the issues that you may struggle with, or they require extensive downtime and cost. An alternative to these options is laser treatments, and one of the most effective laser treatments is Fraxel®.
What Is the Fraxel® Procedure?
Fraxel® uses laser light energy to heat the underlying portions of the skin (dermis). While the surrounding areas, including the tissue and epidermis, are not damaged, the laser effectively promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins in the skin that are responsible for the skin’s overall health, strength, and elasticity.
What Are the Benefits of Fraxel®?
With the increased and improved production of collagen and elastin, your skin will ultimately become healthier and clearer. The increased proteins will stimulate new cell growth to replace old and worn-out skin cells, which can leave your treated skin looking more youthful and attractive.
The benefits of your Fraxel® laser treatment are two-fold. While you will see stunning results in the physical appearance of your skin, you can also look forward to feeling more confident with the way your skin both looks and feels. No longer will you feel the need to cover your skin with makeup, accessories, or clothing; instead, you can find yourself feeling more comfortable than ever before.
Why Is Now the Best Time for a Fraxel® Treatment?
While your Fraxel® laser treatment can effectively give you the look and feel you desire, the reality is that this correction will not occur overnight. To achieve optimal results with your Fraxel® treatment, you should undergo four treatment sessions, each spaced four weeks apart from the other. So, as we move into the cold winter months, now is the time to begin your Fraxel® treatment so that your skin is ready to show off in the spring and summer months to come.
