Min S. Ahn, MD FACS, a board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical director of the Aesthetic Wellness Center in Westborough, MA describes the latest technology for skin rejuvenation called the Fraxel re:pair CO2 laser. Touted by webmd as the #1 beauty breakthrough product of the year, Fraxel re:pair treats uneven skin pigmentation, fine lines, deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and skin laxity. It is highly effective alone as a skin tightening treatment or with a surgical procedure such as a facelift or eyelid lift.

are people usually under general anaesthics?
Lipstick only. No face makeup at all.
Yep…its the best thing ever FDA approved and it works. I’ve had 2 treatments with Paulina Collins and my results are Good…but not EXTraordinary.
Broke up my melasmas and improoved elasticity. I’m 29 and knocked off 2 years.
I’ve had 2 treatments of Fraxel Re:STORE by Medical Skin Therapeutics (Ellicott City, MD) Paulina Collins is the practicioner and I can not giver her enough praise. Results are good. Not amazing, but good. I’m only 29 but have had a lot of SUN DAMAGE!!!
Cost me $750/treatment and she did like 3-4 passes on my face…holla!
so the non ablative Fraxel is called re:store and the ablative is called re:paire ? both give same results but the re:store s less expensive with no downtime and it needs multiple treatments, while the re:paire is strong and does not require more than 2 treatments but it is expensive with long downtime ?
So most people choose the re:paire ?
what about the Polmar non-ablative laser ? it gives same results of the re:paire Fraxel ?
it wil be very kind from you if you answr me
i have keloid scarring, can i be treated?
My experience is only with the Fraxel restore and repair lasers. Both work well for acne scarring but have different indications, number of treatments, and recoveries.
Actually only one treatment of the Fraxel re:pair is needed while up to 5 treatments of the Fraxel re:store are necessary. With both treatments, acne scarring will improve significantly though not completely.
ActiveFX, MiXto or Fraxel co2 for acne scars? Thanks.
People who already have good skin can get away with one treatment. For those with acne scars you have to do multiple treatments and it will only improve the scars somewhat only.
good explanation and presentation. she does look fresher, her eyes wider and more alert, and her skin smoother, brighter, and tighter. I think this is a great result on this patient. how many treatments did she receive total, and what was the total cost? no one ever wants to directly answer those questions…
I’m so happy to have found this video — Westborough is only around five miles away from where I live.
How much does that procedure cost?
is this true?
what do you put on the face actually right after the treatment? because the skin will be prone to airborne infection? especially on the way from the clinic to home where you can get exposure from sun and bacterias/ particles in the air and all that. and do the patients need to stay at home during the healing process? and for how long generally, before can go out to work/ perform other daily activities outside?
