The
Fraxel
re:pair
laser
system
will
offer
a
fractional
ablative
treatment
utilizing
a CO2
laser
to
produce
similar
effectiveness
to
traditional
bulk
ablative
treatments,
with
less
expected
downtime
and
risks.
The
Fraxel
re:pair
laser
system
is
distinguished
by
its
ability
to
ablate
tissue
deep
within
the
dermis.
The
treatment
is
made-up
of
deep
microscopic
ablated
zones
surrounded
by
undamaged
tissue,
rather
than
a
thin,
general
ablation
of
the
entire
surface
like
traditional
CO2
lasers.
Fraxel created
the technology
behind
fractional
laser
applications.
By treating
skin with
microscopic
laser columns
instead of full
surface tissue
removal,
patients can
access the
benefits of the
gold standard
in skin
resurfacing -
CO2 Laser -
without the
lengthy
downtown and
recovery.
Just as with
standard
Fraxel, the new
Fraxel Re:pair
leaves
untreated areas
around each
treatment zone
to accelerate
healing. The
big advantage
of the Re:pair
is the use of
carbon dioxide
laser beams
which not only
affect wrinkles
and
discolorations,
but have the
ability to
tighten skin by
altering the
weakened
collagen in the
skin found in
the dermis.
Faster
Healing with
Minimal
Downtime
