Introducing Reliant Fraxel® Laser Treatment
Repairing aging & sun-damaged skin, pixel by pixel, spot by spot

By Scott Gerrish M.D.


With today's emphasis on active, healthy lifestyles, most people feel younger than they look. Aging, sun-damaged, wrinkles, and brown spots often mask people's inner beauty. Fortunately, there is a new aesthetic laser solution that provides a fresh chance to turn back the clock on skin aging, Fraxel.

Fraxel can be used for skin resurfacing; treatment of wrinkles; treatment of pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sunspots, and melasma; and treatment of scars resulting from acne, surgery, or trauma.

This unique 'fractional' approach is a step forward in providing significant cosmetic results with minimal downtime. This advance treatment is the first cosmetic laser to provide an effective, gradual procedure that creates new healthy tissue by stimulating the body to naturally repair aging and photo-damaged skin without significant risks or recovery time.

Patients can resume routine activities right after treatment. Swelling is minimal and generally resolves in about 2 days. The skin will have a pinkish tone for 5 to 7 days. Optimal improvement is achieved with a series of 3 to 5 treatments that are 4 weeks apart.
