July 13, 2010. Dr. Mitchell Ghen consulted with several patients today about the benefits of Fraxel treatments. Fraxel is a type of laser used for, among other things, treating acne scarring. It is a five time procedure which softens scars and significantly diminishes their appearance. Fraxel is a tool which is also used for the removal of melasma pigmentation, which can occur from extended sun damage. It minimizes dyschromia and spots on the skin along with ‘liver spots’ on the dorsal hands and feet. Patients who undergo treatment are delighted with the smoothing of minor wrinkles and deep lines, along with the added benefit of tightening the skin, which leaves a more youthful appearance. The procedure lasts for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, following application of a mild numbing lotion to the area of treatment. Patients may experience a slight ‘burning’ or tingling sensation, which goes away soon after the treatment ends. Should you have any questions regarding Fraxel please call Dr. Mitchell Ghen at 561-789-1588.
