SKIN RESURFACING

Over the years, your skin is exposed to sun, air pollution, stress, fatigue and lifestyle factors such as smoking. It all can affect your skin's texture, color and tightness.

To resurface your skin and correct imperfections, there are many options from chemical peels to dermabrasion. But unlike other remedies that scrape, peel and cut the surface of your skin, Fraxel laser treament has been approved by the FDA to safely, gently and effectively resurface your skin from the inside out. That means improved texture, more even tone and smoother skin—all without the risks, discomfort and prolonged downtime of other procedures.

Uncover the youthful skin buried within
Using microscopic laser columns, Fraxel treatment penetrates deep into the skin to trigger your body's natural healing process, replacing damaged tissue with younger, healthier skin—all while keeping the surrounding tissue intact.

Because this unique fractional technology is so precise, Fraxel treatment can resurface skin on and off the face, even on delicate areas like the chest, neck and hands. In addition to wrinkles, scars, age spots and melasma, Fraxel treatment can help with these resurfacing conditions:

• Irregular texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Discoloration and pigment irregularities
• Sun-induced redness (vascular dyschromia)
• Loose skin
• Enlarged pores

"For smoothing wrinkles, erasing discoloration, reducing pore size, toning and tightening your skin, absolutely nothing beats the unparalleled Fraxel laser."—Dr. James Fairfield, Philadelphia, PA

Remove Actinic Keratosis, prevent cancer
Actinic Keratosis (AK)—which appears as red, scaly patches of skin on the face, lips, ears, forearms, scalp, neck and back of the hands—is the most common precancerous skin condition, affecting more than 10 million Americans. If left untreated, Actinic Keratosis can lead to skin cancer.

While traditional AK treatments such as surgery, freezing and dermabrasion are moderately effective, they have significant side effects, discomfort and prolonged recovery time. Fraxel treatment, in contrast, has FDA approval to effectively remove AK, at the same time stimulating the body's natural production of collagen to heal the skin, tighten and tone the skin's texture, and prevent future damage. All without surgery, complications or prolonged downtime.

Of course, the best treatment is to prevent lesions from forming in the first place:

• Always wear sunscreen.
• Schedule annual full-body screenings with your dermatologist.
• Routinely assess your diet, stress levels and overall lifestyle.
