San Francisco, CA - Dr. Sheena Kong says that the Fraxel fractionated laser treatment can be effective to reduce the appearance of acne scars for women and men of all skin types and especially those with darker skin tones, who have not been good candidates for laser treatment."African-American, Hispanic and Asian skin types generally have more melanin, or pigment than Caucasian skin, so they've traditionally been at a higher risk for discoloration and scarring with conventional laser treatments," says Dr. Kong. "However, Fraxel laser treatment precisely targets water in the skin, not melanin, and therefore may be safe and effective for all skin colors."
Dr. Kong had acne scars herself, which she has had treated with the Fraxel laser. She was so impressed with her results that she decided to offer Fraxel treatments to her patients.
According to Dr. Kong, "Fraxel re:store laser treatment is capable of quickly rejuvenating the skin, correcting acne scars and other imperfections—all without interfering with one's daily routine."
Fraxel re:store treatment has FDA clearances for:
▪ Wrinkles around the eyes
▪ Acne scars and surgical scars
▪ Age spots/sunspots
▪ Melasma (irregular patches of brown skin on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip and nose)
▪ Actinic Keratoses (precancerous lesions)
▪ Skin resurfacing
Dr. Kong says that Fraxel treatments can result in smoother, younger-looking skin with improved tone and texture. Brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are reduced and the appearance of acne scars is noticeably improved.
Treatments take 20 to 25 minutes for a full face, and most people can return to their routine activities the very next day. patients usually experience immediate results and will see the most benefit in three to five treatments.
