Tampa Fraxel
What is Fraxel?
Fraxel is a skin treatment that uses a laser to remove skin that you want removed. It improves your skin piece and by very small piece.
How does it work?
You should imagine your face like a TV screen. A TV screen is made up of thousands of little spots called pixels. The Fraxel laser system will only focus on the spots that you want improved. It will not affect any other area of your face. It is because of its pinpoint accuracy that it will not affect other areas. This laser will eliminate old epidermal pigmented cells and penetrate deep into the skin. It will only eliminate cells that you want eliminated. It will not affect other face tissue and you will get the desired result if you use this method.
Treatment
The doctor will determine how you should best be treated to get the results that you want. The treatment aims for 20 to 25 percent of the skin’s surface. It should take about 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart. You and the doctor will ultimately determine how far the time will be between sessions. The results should be seen quickly. Real improvement should be seen in 3 to 4 months.
Doing The Treatment
The treatment can be done in the doctor’s office. Only topical anesthesia is needed to prepare you for the treatment. The doctor will have to adjust the pain management depending on how much tissue is being treated.
What is also needed for this treatment is Opt Guide Blue, an FDA certified water-soluble tint. This tint is used to make it easier to see the contours of the skin. It is easily washed off after the treatment session is done.
After Treatment
What you should first notice is that you will have pinkish tone. This pinkish tone should last for 5 to 7 hours. Swelling is minimal and if you do have any swelling, you should be able to have it resolved in 2 to 3 days. These two conditions should not stop you from returning to your normal life and schedule.
Other things that you should expect from the treatment is bronzing, flaking and having to wear strong sunscreen. Your skin will have the color of bronze for 3 to 14 days. Your skin will begin flaking more after the sessions. The flaking will be like minor sunburn and you should feel no pain. You will have to wear sunscreen with the SPF of 30 to protect yourself during the healing phase. To get even more protection, you should wear wide-brimmed hats. Again, these things should not stop you from leading a normal. Fraxel is a laser skin treatment that improves your skin without you having to make any sacrifice.
