Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 4, 2008 — The Fraxel laser is a breakthrough device in ablative fractional resurfacing, with the most clinical testing of any product in the category. Fraxel re:pair treatment has been clinically proven to improve wrinkles, rhytides, furrows, fine lines, textural irregularities, pigmented lesions and vascular dyschromia in a multi-site, multi-phase study of more than 400 patients.

Austin dermatologist Gregory A. Nikolaidis, M.D. of Westlake Dermatology supports the positive trend, saying that “in my opinion the re:pair is the ‘holy grail’ of cosmetic laser rejuvenation. It corrects aged and damaged skin like nothing else available today.” Dr. Nikolaidis was the first physician in Texas to use the new Fraxel CO2 laser upon completion of the clinical trial.

fractionated CO2 laser technology is a real step forward in non-invasive laser skin resurfacing. The fact that these lasers can do all that in one office based session practically guarantees that they will become the next standard of care in dermal resurfacing.
the Fraxel re:pair system combines the benefits of CO2 resurfacing with the safety of fractional lasers. Its main advantage over the traditional Fraxel laser is that it induces tissue contraction and tightening, a major benefit for patients with skin laxity.
Fraxel re:pairâ„¢ is the second fractionated laser to be made available to the cosmetic medical community by Reliant Technologies, which will officially launch the system at the American Academy of Dermatology’s 66th Annual Meeting in San Antonio in early February, 2008.

Dallas aesthetic pioneer Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S., Medical Director of SKINTASTIC Medical & Surgical Rejuvenation Center in North Dallas, has extensive experience with both the original Fraxel, and the upgraded Fraxel SR1500. Dr. Adelglass is excited about the advance in technology and says, “We are excited to be able to take skin resurfacing to the next level with the Fractional CO2 resurfacing treatment, soon to be offered at SKINTASTIC. For our patients who suffer from more severe skin damage and scarring, we expect that combining the CO2 laser with Fraxel fractional technology should provide much more dramatic skin resurfacing, tightening and rejuvenation than either of the two treatments could alone.”

The Fraxel® family of products has quickly become the industry standard for fractional aesthetic skin treatment. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing treatments, Fraxel brand fractional laser systems treat only a fraction of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding area intact for fast healing.

Yale-trained facial cosmetic surgeon Alexander Rivkin, MD, with medical spas in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Malibu utilizes the fractionated ActiveFXâ„¢ laser made by Lumenis. Dr. Rivkin agrees that “fractionated CO2 laser technology is a real step forward in non-invasive laser skin resurfacing. The fact that these lasers can do all that in one office based session practically guarantees that they will become the next standard of care in dermal resurfacing.”

Houston physician Melissa Bogle, MD says “the Fraxel re:pair system combines the benefits of CO2 resurfacing with the safety of fractional lasers. Its main advantage over the traditional Fraxel laser is that it induces tissue contraction and tightening, a major benefit for patients with skin laxity.”
