Fraxel re:store
The Fraxel re:store Dual 1550/1927 is a safe, non-ablative laser skin treatment with two treatment modes that effectively targets both the surface and the deeper skin layers. Fraxel re:store improves skin tone, texture and pigmentation, and reduces the appearance of scars.
Involved Downtime:
Fraxel re:store has two separate wavelengths. The 1927 wavelength achieves gentle resurfacing, with downtime of 3 – 4 days. 1550 wavelength is a deeper treatment, without a peel and a shorter downtime 2 – 3 days.
Age-Related Skin Changes
What Does Fraxel re:store do?
Fraxel re:store laser uses patented technology to target ageing and sun damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate into the skin. There are two laser treatment modes. One delivers microscopic laser columns deep into the skin and the second delivers it to the superficial skin layers.
The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing.
This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old and damaged cells.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fraxel re:store dual 1927/1550:
What are the risks and side effects of a Fraxel re:store treatment?
At Prèface Cosmetic we ensure patients have met the necessary criteria for recommended treatments and procedures. It’s important to be aware of the risks associated with Laser treatments in order to make an informed decision. Results from our treatments and procedures vary patient to patient according to factors including genetics, age, diet and exercise.
Potential side effects of Fraxel re:store:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching
- Pain
- Acne
- Infection
- Changes in skin colour
- Inducing Skin Cancer Formation
Most patients describe an increased sensation of heat during the treatment. To minimise discomfort, topical anaesthesia is applied before the procedure and cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure.
After the treatment, most patients feel like they have a sunburn, which usually diminishes in 1 to 3 hours.
How does Fraxel re:store Dual 1550/1927 work?
Fraxel re:store laser treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into the skin. The laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, which promotes rapid healing. This stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, replacing the old and damaged cells.
What is the difference between the 1927 and 1550 wavelengths?
The 1927 wavelength achieves gentle skin resurfacing, addressing general skin damage and pigmentation. The 1550 wavelength is a deeper penetrating treatment that addresses fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, skin tone and texture.
The Treatment will be tailored to your desired outcomes and can even be combined so that you receive the added benefits of both a superficial and deep laser treatment.
When do results appear?
The results of Fraxel re:store are both immediate and progressive.
Soon after the treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and show more even tone. The next 3-6 months will bring more improvement as the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal.
Results can last for years depending on your age and skin condition.
How many Fraxel re:store 1550/1927 treatments will I need?
Fraxel re:store requires 3 -4 treatments using a combination of both 1927 and 1550, this is a cost effective alternative to the more aggressive Fraxel re:pair resurfacing laser.
What will I look like after the procedure?
Each patient’s skin will react differently, though generally patients report a sunburned feeling. Depending on your tailored treatment settings, you may appear pink or red for 1-3 days.
Your skin will naturally bronze over the next week or two. As you continue treatment, the sunburned-to-bronzed appearance will repeat after each treatment.
As with sunburn, your skin will flake and exfoliate normally. Use a moisturiser to reduce the appearance of dry flakes as instructed.
