Dr. Lawrence Gray and Dr. Mark Ballentyne offer new Fraxel Laser Treatment

Aug. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Portsmouth, NH - The Skin Wellness Center at Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center is now offering Fraxel laser treatment to their patients.  This revolutionary new laser treatment removes years from your appearance and gives you a more youthful look, correcting the effects of sun, pollution, stress and fatigue.  It works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing process which replaces damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin.

Fraxel treatment delivers remarkable results for sun damage, wrinkles or other signs of age, with fast recovery, so you can quickly return to work or other activities with renewed skin—and renewed confidence.  More specifically, the Fraxel laser treats acne scars, surgical scars, sun spots, age spots, brown spots, often called “pregnancy mask” (melasma) and offfers non-specified skin resurfacing to give you smoother, fresher looking skin. The fFraxel laser precisely treats thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to get rid of old, damaged skin cells.  It is safe and effective on the neck, chest, hands and face.

The Fraxel family of products has three laser treatments, all delivering remarkable results with fast recovery. The range of treatments vary in aggressiveness, downtime, number of procedures needed and results.  The most aggressive treatment, Fraxel Re:pair, can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. This is a single treatment procedure, but will require more downtime and after-treatment wound care. Less agressive treatments, like Fraxel Re:store or Fraxel Re:fine, can produce significant results for mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 to 6 treatments. Typically, there is no after treatment wound care with these treatments and downtime is minimal.

Dr. Gray or Dr. Ballentyne will consult with you first to determine your skin’s personalized treatment plan, depending upon your goals, your genetic make-up, lifestyle and personal history.  They may recommend: The Fraxel 3 , which is  more aggressive, requires 3 treaments and costs $950. per treatment.  Or they may recommend the Fraxel 6, which is  less aggressive, requires 6 treatments and costs  $550. per treatment.
