Fraxel CO2 Re:Pair Patient Testimonials

" I am writing to share with you my very positive experience with a CO2 Fraxel re:pair laser procedure performed by Nancy Koehler and Brittney. I was very happy that they both performed the procedure with the utmost professionalism and kindness. They reduced any fear of the experience by advising me through each step of the process by explaining what was about to happen. Additionally, they virtually reduced any pain to almost null. I would happily advise anyone to have the procedure done at your office because of all of the safety measures taken to reduce any possible risk of infection, the ease of the experience and the high level of professionalism."

Today Show calls Fraxel CO2 a Mini Medical Miracle!

Results of a Fraxel CO2 re:pair treatment approach the tightening and wrinkle removal that we normally see only after a facelift, with very few complications and limited downtime.

(Just 5 days after a single treatment)

Patient Comment: “ I was impressed with the improvement gained for such a short downtime and minimal discomfort. Post-procedural care was simple, allowing me to work at home for the first three days, after which I began to go out in public. From my point of view, the Fraxel re:pair procedure accomplished all of my goals; my skin is smoother and tighter and my sun and age spots are gone.

How does Fraxel C02 Re:Pair Laser work and how is it different?

As opposed to traditional CO2 resurfacing lasers which ablate 100% of the skin (vaporize and remove it all at once), leading to extended downtime, wound care and high risk of complications, the Fraxel re:pair Laser is the first CO2 laser to treat the skin fractionally and deeply. The Fraxel re:pair lays down thousands of tiny microscopic wounds in the skin, penetrating much deeper than traditional ablative lasers, but leaving the cells around these tiny wounds untouched. The tissue in each of the microscopic wounds is removed with the use of the CO2 energy. The healthy tissue surrounding the wounds then contracts which leads to immediate tissue tightening. This spared tissue between treatment zones also promotes rapid healing while stimulating collagen production in the deep layers and new epidermal cells in the top layer.

Fraxel re:store vs Fraxel re:pair
What is the difference and which treatment is best for me?

Both Fraxel lasers utilize the same delivery system (laying down thousands of microscopic spots) however they use different energy sources. The Fraxel re:store is non-ablative (does not remove skin), uses erbium light and requires 3-6 treatments. The advantage of this laser is that it treats any skin type and any body part. It also has only minimal downtime, usually only 1-3 days of swelling. This treatment is best for younger patients, those with only mild wrinkling and for patients who cannot have 3-7 days of down time.

The Fraxel re:pair is a deep dermal ablative modality using CO2 technology that only requires a single treatment. You can treat face, neck and chest on most skin types. The advantages of the Fraxel re:pair are:

immediate tissue tightening
treats deeper wrinkles
only 1 treatment is necessary

The Fraxel re:pair does have more down time than the Fraxel re:store. The Fraxel re:pair is best for patients with severe sun damage, moderate and severe wrinkling and for patients who would like optimal results with only 1 treatment.

Are there any side effects?

There are always risks with any cosmetic procedure. The most common side effects for any ablative laser are hypopigmentation (loss of color), hyperpigmentation (increase in color), infection and scarring. These risks are very low with the Fraxel re:pair: there have been zero side effects reported over 2½ years and 700 patients. Compared with traditional CO2 laser it is much safer with much less down time and side effects.

How should I prepare for my treatment?

During your pre-Fraxel consultation visit we will discuss which products are best to use before, during and after your treatment. Botox may be recommended prior to your laser treatment to relax facial movement in key areas (such as crows feet, frown lines and forehead creases) allowing for better laser penetration into deeper wrinkles. For two weeks prior to your laser treatment avoid sun exposure and self tanner and wear a SPF 30 sunscreen daily.

How can I maximize my results and maintain them?

Since your skin will continue to age naturally, we recommend maintaining your results by using physician-strength rejuvenation products at home and having periodic Fraxel re:store (non-ablative) laser treatments annually. These will help slow down the aging process and keep your skin younger looking, longer. Another Fraxel CO2 re:pair may only have to be done every few years or not at all. As always, wear a hat and sunscreen when outdoors.
