The SF Bay Area Plastic Surgery Difference
Fraxel Laser procedures are a non-surgical option at our practice. They are performed in-office using a topical anesthetic. Results are typically achieved in 5 to 6 treatments, which are about 45 minutes to 1 hour and about 1 month apart. With continued skin care maintenance and protection from the sun, results can be permanent.
Fraxel uses light energy to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen, rejuvenating skin cells below the surface to help smooth the creases and pockets that cause wrinkles and scars. This treatment only treats targeted problem areas, so the results are focused and effective.
Some of our patients also combine their Fraxel Laser procedure with other cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures, such as BOTOX/Dysport or injectable dermal fillers (Juvéderm, Radiesse, Restylane / Perlane and fat injection), chemical peels, laser hair removal, sclerotherapy and laser vein treatment, and skin care. NOTE: If patients have a facelift /neck lift, browlift / forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or a nose job cosmetic procedure in the Operating Room, they can choose to add a BOTOX/Dysport injection or an injectable dermal filler.
