FRAXEL LASER

Nowadays it is the age of the bold and beautiful. And everyone is in the search of the elixir of youth. Till the time we find this elixir, dermatologists and plastic surgeons seem to be the best bet for keeping oneself young. Earlier, alongwith so many over-the-counter products, Chemical peelings and Microdermabrasion were the only treatments available. Then came the era of Botox and Fillers. These are still one of the most sought after treatments in any dermatology clinic. They have the advantage of quick lunch time procedure with almost immediate results and no downtime. On the other hand their high cost and short duration of results make them less lucrative.
Now, with Fraxel laser in the arsenal of dermatologists, deceiving age is not that difficult. Fraxel laser is a safe non-invasive laser treatment that removes years from your appearance. Whether you have sun damage, wrinkles or other signs of age, Fraxel treatment delivers remarkable results with fast recovery so you can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin — and renewed confidence. Fraxel treatment, affects a fraction of tissue at a time with thousands of microscopic laser columns — each just one-tenth the diameter of a hair follicle. Then your body takes care of the rest. The laser columns stimulate a natural healing process that works from the inside out, replacing damaged tissue with younger, smoother, healthier skin. The science of Fraxel treatment involves three key components:

The epidermis –The dermis –
Microscopic laser columns Under the epidermis is a network of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that keep your skin youthful and tight. But as you age and get more sun exposure, those proteins simply break down faster than your body can rebuild them. As a result, your skin may start to sag and show damage like wrinkles, lines or spots.
This is where Fraxel laser treatment can help. Microscopic laser columns penetrate deep into the dermis to create tiny wounds, which trigger your body’s natural response system to heal those wounds. This process expedites your body’s remodeling of collagen and elastin, which results in tighter, fresher, more youthful-looking skin. This is how Fraxel treatment creates new skin from the inside out

Skin renewal – from 28 days to 2 days
Just as important are the areas of skin that Fraxel treatment doesn't touch. Because the treatment is so precise, the laser columns target only a fraction of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This “fractional” treatment allows the body to heal the skin much faster than if the entire area were treated at once.
How fast? Our body’s natural skin renewal process is about 28 days. Fraxel laser treatment does it in two.
