Albany Fraxel Laser directory information

Albany dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians provide Fraxel Laser treatment for skin resurfacing, sun damage, age spots, stretch marks, acne scarring, melasma, and wrinkle reduction.

Most Fraxel laser treatments are administered with the use of a topical anesthetic cream to eliminate any discomfort. The Fraxel laser has been shown in studies to eliminate precancerous cells and prevent skin cancer.

What does the Fraxel fractional resurfacing laser do?

The Fraxel Restore Laser is a fractionated Erbium laser, which produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in the skin, known as microscopic treatment zones, or MTZs.

During treatment, the Fraxel laser penetrates deep into the dermis to eliminate old epidermal pigmented cells. For every microscopic zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.

Tips for Albany Consumers Considering Fraxel Laser Treatment

1. Ask your provider how many Fraxel laser treatments they have performed.

2. Ask to see before and after photos of your Fraxel laser treatment provider's actual patients.

3. Know the law in Albany pertaining to medical laser treatments. Is a physician required to be on the premises or nearby during treatment? Policy regarding the presence of a physician varies dramatically by state.

4. Make sure the benefits and risks of Fraxel laser treatment are fully explained to you in a consultation.
