Treatments

A professional consultation with a Cutis health professional will ascertain if a Fraxel® re:store DUAL treatment is right for you. A series of treatments is recommended for optimal outcomes with the option of annual maintenance treatments. Treatment sessions require 60-90 minutes depending on the treatment area. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest and hands. Avoiding prolonged sun exposure before, during and after your treatment series and applying sun protection throughout the day is vital to maintaining your fractional laser resurfacing results.

Recovery

Immediately post treatment, the skin feels and looks somewhat like a sunburn, with mild redness and swelling accompanied by skin flaking from approximately days three through five. The skin may not be socially presentable for a period of 4-5 days however, Cutis offers medical grade mineral cosmetics which can be applied post treatment to cover and calm facial redness. Each Fraxel® treatment offers quick improvements to skin texture, tone and pigment irregularities with prolonged improvements to skin firmness and scars over 4-6 months.


How It Works

Fraxel® fractional laser technology targets millions of micro treatment zones of skin leaving the immediately surrounding tissues untreated for rapid healing. By leaving the surface layer of the skin intact, safety is highest among resurfacing laser options. Each fractionated treatment zone eliminates damaged cells while the healthy tissue is regenerated.
