Laser Resurfacing
Harnessing the power of laser energy
Interested in a professional Fraxel laser treatment in Philadelphia? Then you’ve come to the right place!
About Face Aesthetics offers Fraxel, an FDA-approved laser procedure, to help address various skin concerns of clients.
It’s non-ablative—meaning there are no open wounds—and is more effective than many traditional treatment methods.
How it Works
The Science Behind Laser Resurfacing
During fractional photothermolysis, columns of tiny lasers are directed at a specific area of the patient’s skin. The Fraxel laser is strong enough to reach deep tissue layers and use their thermal energy to create microscopic injuries.
While deliberately harming the skin might appear counterproductive to promoting healthy skin, it has the opposite effect. By creating microscopic skin channels, the Fraxel lasers activate the body’s natural recovery process to heal the damaged area.
This encourages the growth of collagen—an important protein that provides structure to the skin—which makes new cells that replace the damaged ones. As a result, our professional Fraxel laser treatments in Philadelphia can create healthy and smooth skin.
What to Expect
Your Fraxel Laser Treatment at About Face Aesthetics
Professional Fraxel laser treatments sound complicated, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process—so how does the procedure work?
Fraxel laser treatments for faces and other areas can last anywhere between 15 to 45 minutes, making them comparatively faster than other skin care methods.
Only a few sessions are needed to achieve your desired results. However, the number of necessary treatments can change based on the condition the lasers are addressing. For example, more extensive problems will require more sessions to resolve than milder ones.
Additional Uses for Fraxel Laser
Flexibility Where It Counts
In addition to its incredible anti-aging capabilities, we often use the Fraxel laser to treat other types of deep-rooted skin concerns for our patients.
Surgical Scars
Fraxel is incredibly versatile and can treat many different skin concerns. Some individuals schedule Fraxel treatments after a surgery, as the lasers can reduce the appearance of scars. If you ever need Fraxel laser treatment for surgical scars, About Face Aesthetics will be happy to help.
Stretch Marks
Whether it’s because of changes in weight, a pregnancy, or other factors, nobody wants to develop stretch marks. However, regardless of the cause, laser technology can help significantly reduce their appearance. Fraxel laser treatments for stretch marks are a great way to eliminate stretch marks and other blemishes.
Acne Scars
Another popular procedure is getting Fraxel laser treatment for acne scars—in fact, treating acne scars is one of the reasons About Face Aesthetics was created! Using a precise, yet powerful laser to penetrate the damaged skin is one of the most effective options available.
