Medical procedures in the pursuit of youth and beauty are nothing new. For years men and women alike have undergone various treatments to achieve a youthful and more radiant appearance, such as invasive surgery. These treatments prove to be effective, but with numerous risks and weeks of downtime.
For the state of Florida, the days of premature aging are over, with the introduction of Reliant Technologies Fraxel Re:pair CO2 Laser.
Just arrived in December 2007 in Tampa, Florida, this innovative laser offers the latest in skin resurfacing technology. The Fraxel Re:pair CO2 Laser tightens skin and removes wrinkles, acne scars, brown pigmentations, and can be performed in the office. The procedure does not require going under anesthesia, but instead uses a local numbing cream applied aptly before the procedure.
CO2 technology has been in use for over 40 years. Until recently, these ablative procedures were painful and required arduous aftercare with weeks of downtime. Reliant Technologies, the creator of fractional skin resurfacing, using their innovative Fraxel Re:store and Fraxel Re:pair lasers, has essentially removed the need for extensive post –operative care and the risks previously associated with skin resurfacing.
The Fraxel Re:pair provides deep, microscopic fractional resurfacing that produces significant results in only one treatment. With only three to five days of downtime this new, quick, and safe treatment option will dramatically improve the condition of your skin, resulting in smoother texture with a noticeable increase in skin tone and tightening, removing wrinkles, lines, brown spots, redness, and acne scars. These dramatic results are seen immediately after a single treatment.
Dr. Karl Swanson of Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Centre had tested several fractional lasers before selecting the Fraxel Re:pair. “I had been using the Fraxel Erbium laser for years with fantastic results, and what Fraxel has done with CO2 technology is nothing short of extraordinary. There is no doubt in my mind that this procedure will change the way we treat aging skin”. With only 3 to 5 days of downtime, the procedure is almost completely risk free. Results are unparalleled and seen immediately following the quick healing process.
Fraxel Re:pair Fractionated CO2 Laser is groundbreaking technology that provides safe and clinically proven effective treatments with minimal downtime. Fraxel Re:pair has been clinically proven and FDA510(k) approved to improve wrinkles, deep and fine lines, textural irregularities, and irregular pigmentation in a three year, multi-site study.
