Should I avoid sun exposure after Fraxel?

Image
  Fraxel is a laser treatment that improves skin texture, rejuvenates skin, and tightens pores. Many people who got Fraxel treatment ask about the direct sun exposure after the Fraxel procedure. Is it ok for the facial skin to be exposed to UV rays? You have to minimize sun exposure after the treatment. We recommend wearing sunscreen before going out. You need to especially protect your skin for 3 weeks after the treatment so that you won’t have pigmentation issues. Moreover, you can wear a hat or sunglasses to avoid intense sun exposure. Aside from wearing sunscreen, we recommend applying moisturizing cream as often as possible since you can feel the dryness of the skin. More about Fraxel

How to speed up skin healing process after Fraxel?

Fraxel is a well-known laser that improves skin texture. It also has the effect of pore tightening, skin healing, and rejuvenation. What if you get Fraxel treatment together with PRP? Will it improve the effect? Fraxel and PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) have highly effective synergistic effects that give an increased effect of skin rejuvenation. Together they stimulate collagen and elastin production. Fraxel is a skin resurfacing laser that creates micro-injuries to the skin. Through the process of injuries, new cells are created. If PRP is applied on the skin surface after the Fraxel treatment, the skin is getting restored and healed due to the process of skin rejuvenation that blood can make. Therefore, you will not need a long recovery period after Fraxel. With time you will notice the improvement of your skin quality. You will get long-lasting results if you get 3-5 sessions spaced out 3 weeks apart. Read more about Fraxel

Can I have laser treatment in the summer?

  Many of you may have already heard about laser toning treatment. This laser is to correct and improve freckles and blemishes. However, customers ask one question over and over again. It says: “Is it allowed to have laser toning in summer?”     The reason why they continue asking these questions is because of strong ultraviolet rays (UV) light. People are concerned that sunlight can cause more harm than good by worsening pigmentation.   Here is the thing. UV rays are present not only in summer but also during the four seasons. Therefore, regardless of when you have your laser toning treatment, protection against UV rays is required.     Eventually, whether you have laser treatment in summer or during other seasons, you should always protect the skin from UV by applying SPF regularly.     In conclusion, what matters most is not the season when you have a laser toning, but how often and how much effort you put in to protect your skin from UV during...

  Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure using a laser to rejuvenate the texture and appearance of the skin. It also addresses different kinds of skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, dark spots, etc. Before undergoing any laser procedures, it is important to know which lasers are available to treat those skin problems. Lasers used in laser resurfacing procedures are classified into two groups: Ablative and Non-ablative. What is the difference between these two categories? It is vital to stress and illustrates the difference because of the effect that they may have on the skin. Ablative lasers are a type of lasers that makes injuries to the skin and removes the outer layer of the skin. They induce collagen production by heating the second skin layer, the dermis. When the dermis is heated up, it starts to generate collagen, and this improves the skin. Such lasers as CO2 or Erbium Fraxel (fractionated) laser are examples of Ablative lasers. Unlike ablatives...

Before the treatment, one should know the difference between ablative and non-ablative lasers. When you have a consultation with a doctor, he or she may recommend one of these two types of lasers, either ablative or non-ablative. Such lasers as Carbon dioxide (CO2) or Erbium are types of ablative lasers. Their main functions may differ. However, both remove the outer layer of the skin to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, warts, and deep and fine wrinkles.  Unlike ablative lasers, non-ablative lasers do not remove the outside skin layers. Non-ablative lasers are applied to improve more of acne-related concerns. Now that we are aware of the difference between ablative and non-ablative lasers, we can discuss the effects and target skin concerns of laser skin resurfacing.
