Questions about Fraxel Re:Pair Laser

What does Fraxel Re:Pair Laser treat?

The Fraxel Re:Pair Laser is used to treat fine lines, moderate to severe wrinkles, pigment irregularities, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. It can also considerably reduce the appearance of acne scars.

What is the Fraxel Re:Pair Laser?

The Fraxel Re:Pair Laser is a CO2 laser that fractionally resurfaces your skin, a process called fractional photothermolysis. Instead of removing the entire surface layers of your skin, this process creates numerous tiny wells in your skin that tap into the deeper living layers of your skin to stimulate a healing process that leaves your skin looking more youthful and more even.

What are the advantages of Fraxel Re:Pair?

The main benefit of the Fraxel Re:Pair Laser is that the healing time after treatment is much less than for traditional laser skin resurfacing. The actual treatment is also up to four times faster. This means that you will see real results much faster than with treatment by standard ablative laser resurfacing. And, unlike some fractional laser treatments, Fraxel Re:Pair requires only one treatment to give maximum results to most patients.

Is Fraxel Re:Pair safe and effective on all types of skin?

Fraxel Re:Pair is safe and effective on Fitzpatrick skin types I-III.

Does Fraxel Re:Pair Laser treatment hurt?

Most patients feel an increased sensation of heat during treatment with Fraxel Re:Pair Laser. Some also experience minor discomfort. However, discomfort typically dissipates quickly.

What should I expect after my treatment?

Many patients experience minor swelling, which may last for up to a week, and skin redness, which may last for up to a month. Some also experience a bronzed appearance, itching, peeling, and dry skin. Rarely, there may be some pinpoint bleeding and oozing that may last up to 48 hours after treatment. As these side effects diminish, you should notice the positive results of treatment: firmer, smoother skin with a considerable evening of pigment irregularities and lessening of visible sun damage.
