Fractional laser is a technique to break a single laser beam into many smaller bundles. For example, if a normal cosmetic laser beam spot of 5 or 10 mm in diameter, then a single point of less fractionated laser light than.5 mm. Used as a large spot lasers to burn the top layers of skin, extreme caution must be used, so do not be too deep, and then burn scars. With a laser as a conventional Er: YAG or CO2, there isconsiderable pain during treatment, so that the IV sedation, but general anesthesia is required. In addition, there are more downtime with prolonged redness and healing that can last for months.
Fraxel laser was the first brand of fractional jet market erbium: YAG laser resurfacing in 2004. This first interpretation of the Fraxel penetrated up to 750 micrometers into the skin and blue dye needed for the prosecution. It 'been a huge commercial success, and brought in the era of fractional laserAnti-aging photo rejuvenation, acne scars, scars and pigmentation problems. Subsequently published most laser manufacturers competing products. Reliant Fraxel came up with a more penetrating (up to 1500 microns), which no longer require blue dye. Fractional CO2 lasers have been marketed more aggressively than the results for Erbium: YAG laser.
Fraxel works a shower with skin of thousands of individual localized by laser light. And 'the space between them,so that usually about 20% of the surface of the skin is treated. Healthy skin heals rapidly intervening in the exact areas that have been injured by the laser. The injury stimulates a healing response that causes the growth of collagen and tightening the skin surface. In this way, superficial wrinkles and acne scars can be smoothed with each treatment. It also works on scars and stretch marks. Unlike conventional laser treatment is more of a Fraxel treatment is usually desirablebecause only a fraction of the skin is affected each time. Fraxel benefits are cumulative, so that patients benefit most from multiple treatments. Alternatively, using fractional CO2 (for example, Fraxel re: pair to differentiate themselves from the Erbium: YAG Fraxel re: store), the effects are extreme, they are closer to traditional CO2, but the side effects and downtime is also poor.
In deciding whether to get a Fraxel treatment, the severity of the underlying disease should be considered. In only very mildDamage and wrinkles, for example, a chemical peel or IPL PhotoFacial be just fine. For more severe sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars or pitting with a deep action treatment like Fraxel is the best. Before treatment, a medical examination is needed to exclude such conditions that the treatment would be such ongoing treatment with Accutane, Retin-A or tan recently. Any skin condition associated with wound healing or scarring problems are also relativelyContraindications.
The treatment lasts from 20 minutes to an hour. An oral pain medication is coupled with a local anesthetic is usually sufficient for the treatment of pain for Fraxel, fractional CO2 laser but require deep anesthesia. The new Fraxel: store treatment feels warm and pungent, and can be slowed or accelerated for patient comfort. The downtime with Fraxel re: store (Erbium: YAG, CO2 does not) is minimal, usually a couple of days of redness at the most. Sun protection and prevention arevery important to avoid hyper-pigmentation. Saving treatment can be repeated at least several weeks to go before a Fraxel Re.
And Fraxel fractional laser treatments in general are becoming increasingly popular due to their tolerability and efficacy. This field of cosmetic laser treatment is seen to continue for technological innovation and improvement.
