Northern Virginia Thermage & Fraxel in Fairfax VA, Manassas VA and Vienna VA

With today's emphasis on active, healthy lifestyles, most people feel younger than they look. Aging, sun-damage, 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 advanced 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.
