Fraxel is the most advanced laser treatment for skin available anywhere - if your skin is damaged from the sun or you have uneven pigmentation and fine lines, this is a groundbreaking new treatment designed especially for you. You can tell the difference immediately after your first Fraxel treatment that your skin is softer and smoother. Lines and age spots fade and eventually disappear. Fraxel is unique because of how the treatment actually does what it does. The laser produces thousands of tiny localized treatments known as MicroThermal Zones. These zones are what define an area that will undergo alteration and an area that will remain untouched. During the process, collagen and elastin are regenerated and about 20% of the skin is resurfaced with each session. What makes Fraxel special is its ability to bypass healthy, living skin cells and touch only those cells that require re-growth. This level of precision makes the procedure safe, reliable and worth the big bucks it's going cost. The "fractional" treatment area is what makes the healing process work so quickly. Instead of the body facing a large portion of skin to re-grow, it can focus on smaller areas. The effectiveness of Fraxel is unparalleled when compared to other laser treatments previously available. The laser works by targeting tiny, microscopic sites of thermal impact separated by areas of unaffected, healthy tissue. The healthy tissue in turn promotes rapid healing of the outer layers of skin. The collagen is also stimulated and increases tone and firmness. Side effects of treatment by Fraxel laser are minimal and do not require any downtime. Some patients experience slight swelling and redness, but this should fade in a day or two. Treatment is not painful and feels like a prickly sensation. A mild anesthetic lotion maybe applied to reduce discomfort.
September of 2007 brought the introduction of the Fraxel Skin Ecology System, a skincare line specifically formulated and dermatologist-tested to enhance the experience of Reliant's Fraxel laser treatment, a skin rejuvenation therapy that provides patients with effective, consistent results without significant downtime and risk of complications.The Fraxel Skin Ecology System is a physician-dispensed cosmeceutical line that includes deep hydration masks, green tea infusion masks, antioxidant infusion serum, foaming cleanser, daily moisturizer (SPF 30) and hydrating night cream. All components are formulated to enhance the experience of the Fraxel treatment by moisturizing, cooling and protecting the skin throughout the patient's Fraxel treatment cycle and beyond as part of a healthy skincare regimen. Fraxel Skin Ecology System products will be available at physicians' offices.
In July, 2005 the Fraxel laser was FDA approved for a condition called Melasma, a condition which occurs on the sun exposed face and nose of affected patients, typically women of child-bearing age.Read about ThermaFrax, the combination of Thermage and Fraxel for skin tightening and resurfacing.

The Dermatology Laser and Vein Center The Dermatology Laser and Vein Center of Cincinnati is a full service dermatology and cosmetic practice. Our goal is to provide the most up to date care for all your skin needs. Our services range from taking care of dermatological skin diseases to addressing the cosmetic concerns of your skin. At our center, we personalize the care of your skin. We employ state of the art technology and techniques to achieve beautiful results, with safety and expertise. Cosmetic Surgery has undergone a paradigm shift in the treatment of facial aging. Traditional cosmetic plastic surgery consisted of removing excess skin and fat, then pulling old looking skin tight. Now you have tight, old looking skin, giving you a skeletonized look. You appear more aged and looking like you had a face lift. We use a contemporary approach to cosmetic plastic surgery to rejuvenate damaged skin and restore facial volume and youthful facial features. The new filler agents are an extremely effective means to help you restore the facial volume associated with a youthful appearance. Sculptra, also known as the "liquid facelift", works by both filling in lines and wrinkles and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue, thereby creating a fuller, more youthful appearance. Restylane is ideal for restoring lip volume. Thermage, Fraxel Laser treatments, and Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing can dramatically rejuvenate your skin and take years off your appearance. Cosmetic Surgery and Laser treatments for facial aging changes must be carefully individualized to match each patient's aesthetic needs and desires. Our goal is to provide a natural look. Family and friends of our patients will often comment that they look great, but can't put their finger on what the change is. Before you have surgery, let us show you the latest options available to restore your natural beauty. I know you will be happy with our unique approach to restoring your natural beauty.
