Dermacare of Valencia has added a new laser to its arsenal. The Fraxel SR1500 is now available to the residents of the Santa Clarita Valley. This is the same laser that Oprah Winfrey and actress Ellen Barkin have raved about. The SR1500 is a fractional skin-resurfacing laser that completely spares the outer layer of skin, thus eliminating the down time previously associated with skin resurfacing.
Our new Fraxel can rejuvenate the skin by eliminating pigment, reducing the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Even melasma, or the mask of pregnancy, and acne scars are not a challenge and this laser is FDA approved for all of these conditions.
Fraxel reduces the visible signs of aging and restores skin to its radiant beautiful glow while minimizing age and sunspots. It can be safely used with any skin type and is even used on the eyelids for texture and tightening. Fraxel also can restore a youthful look to hands, chest, arms and legs. Some surgical or traumatic scars are amenable to this treatment.
This is the second generation of Fraxel. The newer version is safer and more comfortable than the original due to increased flexibility in power and percentage settings. There is also no need for the blue dye used with the older model.
With the use of topical anesthetics and our Zimmer cooler these treatments can be done without any discomfort. The usual laser time is 30 minutes and a Fraxel consultation at Dermacare of Valencia is always free and includes a complete Visa Skin Analysis.
