What It Is & Why It’s Different:

RELIANT FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT IS A BREAKTHROUGH AESTHETIC SOLUTION BASED ON A NEW SCIENCE OF “FRACTIONAL” SKIN REPAIR.

Fraxel® Laser Treatment is a new category of anti-aging medicine that provides the positive results of new-generation skin
resurfacing without the downtime and risks associated with traditional abrasive treatment methods.

• The advanced Fraxel laser treats only a very small fraction of skin at a time without breaking the skin’s protective outer
barrier. This is in contrast to traditional resurfacing techniques that remove the entire top layer of damaged skin and
are associated with oozing, crusting and a lengthy recovery period.
• This innovative approach repairs damaged skin by leaving each treatment area surrounded by healthy tissue,
promoting rapid healing with minimal negative side effects and no lengthy downtime or need for general anesthesia.

The Proof:

STUDIES SHOW THAT FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT OFFERS MANY CLINICAL BENEFITS.

FLT is cleared by the FDA for skin resurfacing, to reduce periorbital wrinkles and to improve pigmented lesions, including melasma, age spots and sun spots.


How It Works:

FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT REPAIRS AGING AND SUN-DAMAGED SKIN – PIXEL BY PIXEL,
SPOT BY SPOT.

Think of a digital photo that is comprised of thousands of pixels. Now, imagine damaged skin that is delicately repaired,
pixel by pixel, spot by spot. That’s the principle behind Fraxel Laser Treatment.

• The Fraxel laser passes through the top layer of skin like light through glass, reaching into the dermis below to create
thousands of tiny, microscopic areas of thermal damage that stimulate the body’s own wound healing response,
notably new collagen production and replacement of damaged skin surfaces with new epidermal skin.
• The penetrating wavelengths of Fraxel Laser Treatment resurface damaged skin, reduce periorbital wrinkles and
correct pigmented lesions such as age spots and sun spots as your skin gradually becomes softer, smoother and
fresher.
• In contrast to non-ablative treatments, Fraxel Laser Treatment is like digital modification that rebuilds a picture, pixel
by pixel, by creating new epidermal skin.

Why It Is Better:

FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT PROVIDES PHYSICIANS A GENTLE AND INTELLIGENT TREATMENT APPROACH TO FAST, REMARKABLE RESULTS WITH MINIMAL DOWNTIME AND MAXIMUM SAFETY.

• Similar to the technique of editing a digital photograph, Fraxel Laser Treatment works on thousands of areas of skin
that are so tiny, they are invisible to the naked eye. Each microscopic treatment area remains surrounded by living
tissue that is affected by the laser in a special way. Approximately 20 to 25 percent of total skin area is treated and
destroyed in each treatment. The fact that the remaining 75 to 80 percent of the patient’s own untreated tissue is
stimulated by the laser to rapidly repair the treated areas and produce the overall appearance of natural and healthy-
looking skin is a novel treatment concept.

• FLT also reaches deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling in the skin layers below. In this way, the body’s
natural healing process creates new, healthy tissue to replace skin imperfections

Top Attributes:

FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT IS SAFE, SPEEDY AND WELL-TOLERATED.

It is performed using topical anesthesia in the doctor’s office. A typical facial treatment is completed in about 30 minutes.

• Results are predictable
• Virtually every patient experiences noticeable cosmetic enhancement
• Improvement is immediate with ongoing and cumulative positive changes

The Rewards:

FRAXEL® LASER TREATMENT PROVIDES MANY PATIENT ADVANTAGES:

• FLT offers a non-invasive solution for aging skin.
• FLT does not require major downtime or recovery period.
• Results are typically achieved in an average of 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart.
• FLT is discreet, providing a natural and younger looking appearance.
