Fraxel Repair CO2

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

resurfacing[2]Boston Cosmetic Specialists leads the region by being the first provider in Greater Boston to offer the Fraxel re:pair system which delivers dramatic anti-aging results without surgery. This system is the state-of-the-art in skin resurfacing technology, and represents latest generation of sophisticated CO2 laser technologies from the company that pioneered the technology. We’re very excited to offer this to our clients.

The re:pair system works by penetrating the skin

with thousands of microscopic laser columns – just 1/10th the diameter of a human hair – to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This uses your body’s own energy and abilities to grow new collagen and elastin, refreshing, smoothing, and rejuvenating skin from the inside out.

  • As a non-surgical procedure, re:pair gives you dramatic results with little downtime.
  • Laser skin resurfacing creates smoother, healthier, fresher, younger-looking skin.
  • Results appear natural as improved tone, texture, pore size, and softened wrinkles and lines appear over 3 months.
  • The Fraxel system is powerful enough for great results but gentle enough to be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

 

 Only a fraction of the skin is treated with the re:pair lasers, but the system activates collagen and elastin production deep within the epidermis so just one treatment is usually sufficient.

What does a treatment session involve?

  • Fraxel_boston[2]A simple pre-treatment includes thorough skin cleansing and application of a topical anesthetic. Sometimes oral sedation is provided for greater comfort.
  • After 60 to 90 minutes of pre-treatment the re:pair procedure begins. It typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
  • For most clients one treatment is sufficient. Clients with deep acne scars or upper lip lines (smoker’s lines) may need an additional follow-up procedure in 4 to 6 months.
  • Costs varies depending on your condition and the area to be treated.
  • It’s common to see some redness and swelling, a “sunburn sensation,” after the treatment. Many clients choose to relax for 5 to 7 days after the procedure before returning to their normal routine.
  • For best results we ask clients to wear an SPF30+ sunscreen and stay out of direct sunlight for 3 months following the re:pair procedure.

 

As with every client, the staff of Boston Cosmetic Specialists is as attentive, engaged, and involved throughout your post-procedure time as we are beforehand. We’re often told that after the re:pair procedure and post-procedure care it’s as if “5 to 10 years were taken off,” a testament to the sophistication of this technology and treatment.
