Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) in Washington DC, Chevy Chase Maryland (20815) and Herndon Virginia (20170)

Aging does not bypass any of us, and the first signs of it are often found in the face. Even if we have not spent a lifetime out in the sun, crow's feet form around the eyes, skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity, and fine wrinkles show up around the mouth. These are all natural signs of aging, but who of us has not tanned too much as a teenager, or exercised daily outdoors, or enjoyed sitting out on the park bench for lunch? Add ultra-violet damage to our naturally aging skin, and you may see freckles, age spots, spider veins, and leathery and mottled skin accumulate to detract from our appearance. These photoaging effects are determined by our genetics, skin color and the amount of time spent in the sun. Add more damage from smoking and you could look 15 or 20 years older than you really are.

Now you can easily reverse the signs of aging with Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) treatments. This safe, minimally-invasive laser skin resurfacing dramatically reduces finely etched wrinkles and will rejuvenate your skin. This new technology does not affect surrounding areas, which greatly improves recovery time. With treatments ranging from mild to deep, the procedure stimulates facial cells to grow and replace older cells, allowing new collagen in the skin to form. The recovery time is much faster with Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) treatments than traditional CO2 laser rejuvenation procedures.

Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) treatments are individualized, and Dr. Naderi will discuss with you the final results that you desire. The mildest treatments of Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) use CO2 laser light energy to reduce fine lines around the eyes and age spots. Moderate depth Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) is a deeper treatment for wrinkles and blemished skin. Deep Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) is a more aggressive ablative carbon dioxide laser treatment that treats deep wrinkles and furrows, acne scars, and severe skin damage, and tightens the skin as well. Recovery time is generally longer with more aggressive Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™). It may be a week before you are comfortable appearing in social situations but is it still considerably shorter recovery time than with the older traditional CO2 laser methods.

Results can be seen with just one Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) treatment, but the maximum benefit depends on what you want to see when you look in the mirror. The milder the treatment, the more treatments are needed for maximum benefit. Often patients require from two to six sessions. At each session, a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the procedure andmay be combined with a Valium as a mid sedative. You will need someone to drive you in and drive you home and stay with you for a few hours.  The deeper Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) treatments are more uncomfortable but many patients tolerate these Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) without any problems.  The deeper the treatments the more dramatic the results. 

The laser targets a portion of the skin much like a checker board, leaving other parts of the dermis unaffected for quicker recovery and healing and shorter down time. The treatment last between one-half and one hour. Then the healing process of the dermis begins. Your face will feel  sunburned, and later will look tan. Patience is required as it may be two to three months before the results are visible but as you as can see from the photos of Dr. Naderi's patient here, dramatic results can be seen as early as 2 weeks after your Fractionated CO2 Laser (Fraxel™) procedure.
