The Fraxel re:pair Laser is the most technologically advanced laser ever made for cosmetic procedures.  It is classified as a Fractional Microablative CO2 laser.  In laymans terms, this means that the laser vaporizes microscopic columns of tissue, each less than 1/10th the diameter of a hair, and then vacuums this tissue away.  The result is removal of tissue that amounts to up to 25% of what a face lift would remove surgically.  Although some severely aged skin might need 2 treatments, in general, this is considered a "ONE AND DONE" procedure.  Using fractional technology, the CO2 laser has much less downtime than its CO2 predecessors, with only 5-7 days of wound care.

The procedure is done in the office with topical anesthesia, and oral medications for sedation and pain control.  Typical times to do a complete face are about 30 minutes.  The laser is also approved for treatment of neck, chest, hands, and other areas.  Treatments can also be limited to around the eyes or mouth area.

There should be no concerns regarding pigmentation problems (lightening or darkening of the skin) with having a Fraxel re:pair treatment.  There is currently data from 500 patients over a 2 year period and there have been no cases reported of any pigmentation problems. 

 

The Fraxel re:pair is clearly the best cosmetic laser of the market.
