^{BEWARE: Anyone choosing any laser treatment should make sure the physician treating them knows what they are doing and has had lots of experience doing the procedure There are many GP's who do not have laser surgical experience, or are "just at the location" when the patient is being treated by a "laser tech."}

^{As with any new technology it may be best to wait and see, instead of being the face the clinic is experimenting on (don't be in the top 10).--Always ask for actual pictures of their clients--NOT STOCK PHOTOS....Be safe you only have one face.}

^{The Fraxel Re:pair is a very new technology combined with CO2 resurfacing and is higher risk for permanent scarring. As with many new skin treatments time will only improve the outcome and treatment.}

^{Fraxel Laser Treatment improves your skin's appearance by affecting only a fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of tiny microscopic laser spots. The fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster. The purpose of the Fraxel is to smooth fine lines and uneven skin texture, reduce or eliminate pigment differences, and improve the appearance of scars.}

^{How Fraxel Laser Works
The Fraxel Laser is specially designed to alter only fractional volumes of the target area. It creates tiny microscopic wounds and a response in the coagulation of your own collagen fibers. It offers a speeding healing process.

Downtime
Expect 2-3days swelling--mostly under the eyes if the whole face is treated, 5-7 days of a bronze-pink skin color--looks like you were out in the sun. Make-up can be worn the next day.}

^{The Experience
A numbing topical is placed on treated area. Often pain meds are are given to help you relax. Feels like a sharp prickly /scratchy continuous heat across treated area.}

^{Risks
Blistering can occur if skin isn't cooled properly. Discoloration is possible, sun sensitivity, acne breakouts, white little bumps. Expectations may not be met. This is not a tightening device.}

^{The Success
Treatments are 1-2 weeks apart for most patients. Patients with melasma are about once month. Expect 4-6 treatments for the average person. Scarring can require more treatments 6-12 treatments depending on the condition. The Fraxel Laser Treatment isn't a cure for melasma. Melasma may return, just by going into the sun.}

^{Scars and wrinkles may soften but not disappear. Lip lines can prove themselves difficult. Over a period of 3-6 months you will see a clinical improvement in sun damaged skin. Often Fraxel is combined with other treatments,such as; Botox Cosmetics or dermal fillers.}
