The FDA-approved fractional CO2 laser has revolutionized laser skin resurfacing therapy by offering patients long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and downtime. The CO2 laser reduces wrinkles, crow’s feet, rejuvenates sun damaged and aged skin while stimulating natural collagen production. It gently removes the top layers of skin and can be used on more than one body area.

Who is a candidate for Fraxel Treatment in San Jose / San Francisco?

The Fraxel repair treatment is a an excellent choice for anyone with aged and wrinkled skin, severe acne, as well as individuals who wish to tighten their facial skin and rejuvenate their cheek and eyelid appearance.

How is Fraxel Skin Resurfacing Performed?

Fractional CO2 laser therapy is performed under oral sedation with topical anesthesia on the face and/or other treatment areas. During the procedure, San Francisco / San Mateo Fraxel skin resurfacing patients may feel a slight stinging sensation as the laser removes dead skin. Following treatment, the skin is cooled and patients may return home within one hour. Most patients are able to return to work within three to four days due to the advanced Dot Therapy method that is unique to the Fractional CO2 laser. The Dot Therapy or "fractional" technology precisely targets small dots of skin, thus speeding up the recovery process.

Recuperation

As with any other skin resurfacing treatment, patients who undergo Fraxel repair are advised to stay away from the sun. Patients often experience facial dryness, redness and tightness, which gradually subside as the new skin heals. Over the next several weeks, patients continue to notice smoother facial appearance and some may no longer need to use facial make-up to cover up wrinkles, folds, brown spots and other skin irregularities. When performed by Dr. Beck, who is a board-certified and highly regarded San Francisco / San Jose Fraxel laser treatment specialist, the aesthetically pleasing outcome of Fractional CO2 laser skin therapy may last for years.
