Epiclinic are located in in Adelaide and providing and provides fraxel laser treatment.
Years ago, before Cosmetic Medicine really came of age, all we had were aggressive “all-or-nothing” lasers for Facial Rejuvenation. Lots of downtime, persistent redness and then eventually the end result. In the right patient, these lasers were excellent. But the average patient…? Who wants to look like having been in a fire for 3 weeks? Of course not.
Welcome the Fraxel Laser. Instead of a single aggressive shallow laser beam, the Fraxel delivers a ‘pixelated’ pattern from the handpiece, so most of the skin is actually protected, while only a ‘fraction’ (hence the name Fraxel) of the surface area of the skin is treated each session. So instead of that old all-or-nothing approach, smaller multiple steps without downtime gets us to where we need to go. Gradual changes and small steps are much better than big risky steps. For one thing, less questions from nosy parkers too.
But there’s another difference. Those tiny dots far exceed the depth of penetration that those old lasers could deliver.
How The Fraxel Laser Works
The Fraxel laser energy returns the existing collagen to natural resilience and elasticity. The Fraxel Laser also stimulates the cells that produce NEW collagen, so even months after you have completed treatment, the skin will continue to improve the appearance of aging and reducing the signs of lines and wrinkles.
What’s Fraxel like to have? It prickles about 4/10, 10 being the worst prickle you could imagine on your face. Even though the skin feels hot and is red afterwards, 50% of that will disappear in the first hour and only mild effects that easily cover with makeup may be there the following day. More often than not, the patient is aware but observers aren’t.
