Dr. Anne Chapas, a New York City dermatologist, explained how she used Fraxel, Thermage, and Isolaz to help women with a variety of skin problems, which included skin laxity, acne, and sun spots.
Fraxel restore was used on Jill, a 40-something with years of skin damage from the sun. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged cells, stimulate the body’s own natural healing process, and replace the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.
Jill says she is thrilled with the Fraxel treatement. “It really got rid of so much of the sun damage that I could see. It just makes me feel like I have fresh, new skin.”
It usually takes 1 to 3 treatments to see results, and patients may have a few days of redness and a little dryness after the treatment, according to Dr. Chapas.
The Today Show also highlighted Thermage, which was used to tighten the stomach area on a mother of two.
Thermage can also be used in conjunction with Fraxel. Lisa B., another patient featured in the segment, suffered from skin discoloration, breakouts and blotches, and looseness. She first received Thermage, which helped tighten her skin and build collagen; a week later she received Fraxel, which helped even out her skin tone.
Dr. Lo is the only practitioner in Tucson to offer treatment with Fraxel Repair.
donated a Fraxel re:store laser system to its Burn Center, offering immediate benefits to Burn Center patients. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the Grossman Burn Center (GBC) is the largest plastic surgery-based burn practice in the western United States.
