Fraxel Laser treatments FDA cleared for treatment of actinic keratosis
The Fraxel re:storeTM laser is now FDA cleared for treatment of actinic keratosis, and Dr. Ariel Ostad reports to Fox News that the Fraxel re:store laser is effective in treating actinic keratosis and pre-cancerous cells that lie even beneath the skin’s surface. The Fox News story originated in NY and aired in dozens of markets throughout the country.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US. The Skin Cancer Foundation and physicians recommend using sunscreen with SPF of at least 30, but if you, like patient Alexis Hasen, spent years baking in the sun and are left with sun spots and pre-cancerous lesions known as actinic keratosis, there is a new solution to the old laser modailities and creams that carried unwanted downtime.

Fraxel Laser Treatment - What it can do for you

Until now, two varieties of laser treatment have been available for cosmetic enhancement-ablative and non-ablative. Traditional ablative, which literally means vaporization at a very high temperature, are very effective at destroying unwanted tissue but may have significant side-effects and require a lengthy healing period. Non-fractional non-ablative, on the other hand, have very few side-effects and require almost no healing time, but may involve numerous treatments over many months to achieve only modest results.

At long last, a laser with the potency of ablative treatments and the gentle safety of non-ablative lasers received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration to treat a variety of important cosmetic conditions.

Fraxel® Laser Treatment is designed to target aging and damaged skin by creating microscopic "wounds" within the targeted areas that penetrate well beneath the skin's outermost layer. In this way, Fraxel® Laser treatments trigger the body's own natural production of new collagen and skin cells. And because Fraxel® Laser Treatment combines the impact of ablative lasers with the gentleness of non-ablative lasers, healing occurs so quickly that there is very little downtime for patients.

After several years of studies and mounting evidence of the Fraxel® Laser's safety and effectiveness, the FDA has cleared this unique new laser to treat the following conditions:

• ACNE SCARS

Anyone double-burdened with watching their teenage acne turn into adult acne scars knows the profound devastation this circumstance can have on self-esteem and life-outlook. Yet, every bit as profound is the utter transformation – physical and emotional – awaiting those who take advantage of a revolutionary change recently underway in cosmetic health.

Acne scars form wherever acne advances to the point of injuring our tissue. These injuries arise as an inflammatory response to sebaceous follicles becoming plugged with oils, bacteria and dead cells. The result is the formation of a scar – that discolored fibrous tissue with abnormal collagen function that replaces our healthy skin. Successful treatment of a scar requires both the removal of damaged epidermal tissue and the stimulation of new collagen to improve the region's tone and texture.

Traditional approaches – topical agents, abrasion therapies, surgery and conventional lasers – either achieve only moderate results, or else destroy unacceptable amounts of healthy tissue along with the scar. The more effective techniques can also require a great deal of recovery time.

A monumental breakthrough came only recently when the FDA cleared Fraxel® Laser Treatment for acne scars after studies showed that the new laser could be far more effective than traditional therapies at both removing damaged tissue and inducing the formation of new collagen.

• Age Spots/Brown Spots

Although the appearance of age spots might seem like an obvious indication of aging skin, they are instead our body's attempt to protect itself from sun exposure by overproducing melanin. Also called liver spots or sun spots, age spots are blemishes that range in color from dark yellow to black and locate themselves in exposed areas of the body, such as the face, hands, shoulders, arms or forehead.

Only occasionally do age spots pose a serious medical risk. They sometimes obscure detection of skin cancer, and, rarely, can indicate accumulated wastes or a bodily dysfunction.

Even when harmless, these blotchy brownish patches pose a tough cosmetic challenge that can make us look and feel much older than our years.

Conventional strategies for eliminating age spots include cryotherapy, acid washes, bleaches, pulsed light or traditional laser treatment. Too often such techniques will fade but not completely remove age spots.

The real breakthrough came recently when the FDA cleared Fraxel Laser Treatment® for age spots after studies showed that the new laser could be highly effective.

• Melasma (Mask of Pregnancy)

Melasma is a skin condition in which patches of brown or tan discoloration appear on the forehead, cheeks, lips, nose or forearms as a result of the body’s sudden overproduction of pigment. Sometimes called the "mask of pregnancy," melasma can afflict anyone, but is most often triggered in women—especially during the hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptive use or hormone replacement therapy.

Melasma affects an estimated six million people in the US alone. Though not dangerous, the condition can cause embarrassment and undermine self-confidence.

Conventional remedies for melasma include enzyme inhibitors, depigmenting agents, bleaches, steroids, pulsed light, acid facial peels and aggressive dermabrasion techniques. Seldom are such strategies effective. Traditional laser treatments can also produce lackluster results. No wonder so many people give up and simply hide themselves behind heavy makeup.

A breakthrough finally came when the FDA cleared Fraxel® Laser Treatment for melasma after studies showed that the new laser could be highly effective even in cases where traditional therapies had failed.

• Wrinkles Around The Eyes

Wrinkles around the eyes, often called crow's feet, are categorized by doctors as dynamic wrinkles because they develop largely from years of contracting the muscles that display our emotions when we smile, squint, deeply consider, show surprise or laugh. If you've developed such wrinkles yourself, we're happy to hear that life has dealt you so many rich emotional experiences! Now, about those wrinkles.

There are countless cosmetic strategies for reducing crow's feet-including acid peels, injectable fillers, collagen, dermabrasion or traditional laser treatment. These techniques can achieve moderately successful results for many patients.

The real breakthrough came recently when the FDA approved Fraxel® Laser Treatment for wrinkles around the eyes after studies showed that the new laser could be far more effective than traditional therapies.

Fraxel Laser Treatments

As a research dermatologist, Dr. Fitzpatrick says he's impressed with current clinical studies. "The results we are able to achieve in healing and repairing the skin with the Fraxel treatment, without causing damage, are unlike anything I've ever seen before."

Fraxel laser treatments can significantly improve stretch marks. Fraxel can safely be used on any part of your body for fast, safe and effective stretch mark removal.

Clinical studies suggest that 4-6 FRAXEL™ treatments spaced about a week apart produce a gradual remodeling of dermal matrix components, firming collagen and elastin. A topical anesthetic is applied aprox 60 minutes prior to your Fraxel treatment. Fraxel laser treatments are a great way to make your skin look young again and make you feel young again.

If you have 7-14 days to spare a resurfacing procedure can take years off your face. Dr. Burgmeier uses the Sciton Profile Erbium Laser for more aggressive laser peels and resurfacing procedures. The Profile is arguably the finest resurfacing laser in the world. Call for a consultation to find out what treatment would be best for you. Serving Phoenix Scottsdale Tempe Mesa Chandler Arizona.
