New Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing in Orange County
Fractional resurfacing is the latest technology to renew sundamaged skin without the long term healing and misery of older lasers. By treating only a "fraction" of skin surface at a time, there are no raw or oozing areas and healing is very rapid.
(PRWEB) April 12, 2005 -- The new FRAXEL™Laser has been approved by the FDA
to treat wrinkles around the eyes, age spots, brown spots, and sun-damaged skin.
Total Dermatology in Irvine, California, directed by Nissan Pilest, M.D., a
Board Certified Dermatologist and Laser Specialist, has just added Fraxel to its
already comprehensive Laser collection.
Dr. Pilest is using FRAXEL™
Laser for full facial skin resurfacing, treatment of hands, chest and neck-all
without significant downtime. “It’s very exciting technology, and is a perfect
companion treatment to Thermage, which tightens the skin on a deep level” says
Dr. Pilest.
The FRAXEL™ SR Laser is not like other lasers. By utilizing
what is termed Micro Thermal Zones or MTZ’s, the Fraxel laser actually
penetrates the skin in microscopic dots rather than an all-at-once treatment
like the older CO2 lasers do. This allows for keeping the epidermis (outer layer
of skin) intact and patients have none of the long term healing required from
older technology. The skin heals very rapidly with only some bronzing and mild
flaking. The results are immediate and continue to improve over time."Patients
don't want downtime" says Dr. Pilest. "Today's technology can give remarkable
results without the need for recovery time."
The entire face can be
treated with the laser in approximately 30 minutes. Clinical studies suggest
that an effective treatment plan is 3 to 5 sessions, spaced one to two weeks
apart. Treatments with the FRAXEL™ SR laser have no significant recovery
downtime and most patients can go back to work or regular activity the same
day.
Patients are invited to call 949-727-3800 to make an appointment to
discuss the Fraxel rejuvenation treatment.
Dr. Pilest has over 26 years’
experience in corrective and cosmetic dermatology. His practice is noted as one
of the most comprehensive laser centers in Southern California. Staff includes
Laser-Certified Registered Nurses and Certified Medical Assistants. Dr. Pilest
is a well-known and requested speaker and trainer on Laser Technology, has been
voted one of Orange County’s Top Doctors and is listed in the “Best Doctors”
book.
