A YOUNGER LOOK WITH LIGHT TECHNOLOGY Skin Resurfacing at Its Finest
Light technology allows patients to achieve a younger look without invasive surgery. One of the newest innovations, Fraxel, has advanced the way energy is used to treat the skin in a more effective and comfortable way. It is a targeted skin-resurfacing treatment that delivers better results than previous technologies could offer. The results of Fraxel speak for themselves. After just one treatment, patients notice a more youthful appearance. But it hasn’t always been that way with laser cosmetic treatments. Older lasers would send out flat, large rays that would irritate the skin, but Fraxel uses a much more precise technology. The Fraxel machine uses microscopic laser columns that go deep into the skin to promote collagen growth. This customized treatment can target each pore to stimulate growth in the skin’s surface, and because it treats such a small area at a time, the surrounding tissue remains intact and heals more quickly. Couple this targeted approach with Fraxel’s integrated cooling system, and the whole process makes for healthier skin from the inside out!
types I–III, and maybe IV, can get them done. This is great for our Rio Grande Valley residents.
With Fraxel, we can create a younger-looking appearance without dramatic changes. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, surface scarring, pigmentation, and sun damage, as well as common skin conditions like actinic keratosis (AK). The Fraxel laser gives the skin a smoother, fresher feel and look and improves tone and texture. During treatment, we use a topical anesthesia that reduces discomfort, and while most patients come out feeling like they have a slight sunburn afterward, it goes away after a few hours. The procedure takes 20–25 minutes. As always, protect your skin with sunscreen and coverups when you go outside afterward to maintain the amazing results. We recently added a new Fraxel laser to Beautique Medical Spa and are accepting appointments now! Give us a call to schedule your skin renewal appointment, and see the wonders this technology can do.
The great thing about Fraxel is that all skin types can get this treatment, where with most RF and fractionated lasers, only skin
