Both the
FRAXEL Laser and the PIXEL Laser are adaptations of the
popular Erbium Laser designed to improve skin texture with very
little downtime or anesthesia requirements. The unique properties of
both of these lasers, is the ability to create microthermal zones of
tissue treatment in between untouched skin. This allows patients to
recover faster and notice results over time with a series of
treatments. We are pleased to offer these minimal downtime laser
procedures in addition to the
COOL TOUCH
Laser System and
THERMACOOL
system from THERMAGE. Dr. Newman customizes the treatment recipe for
different depths of the skin as well as superficial conditions of
the skin which are concerning to each patients.
According to Dr. Newman, wonderful results can be achieved with all
of the above listed products as long as a proper diagnosis is made
and patients are educated about the process which often involves a
series of treatments. These newer treatments need to be compared and
contrasted with more immediate modalities such as the Long pulse
Erbium laser and other resurfacing modalities such as
hydro-dermabrasion (Dermasweep) and trichloroacetic acid peels. The
important thing for patients to understand, is that our office is
proficient with all of the systems and the importance of making an
informed medical decision about the treatment plan for your specific
condition.
