HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - December 17, 2007) - If you enjoyed turning the clock back one hour
last month, imagine turning it back a few years. The Aesthetic Center for
Plastic Surgery (
www.mybeautifulbody.com), one of the largest private
plastic surgery practices in Texas, has introduced the state-of-the-art
Fraxel SR1500 Laser, which can turn back the clock on aging and sun-damaged
skin.
Adding the latest generation of Fraxel laser treatment is part of the
Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery's continuing effort to provide
patients with the most up-to-date and innovative cosmetic enhancements. It
is a safe, non-invasive procedure that restores skin to a youthful and
healthy look.
"This next-generation Fraxel laser penetrates as deep as conventional
carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers to stimulate collagen and to revive a more
youthful appearance. However, unlike with CO2 lasers, the Fraxel laser
keeps the skin's top layer intact which allows for a much faster recovery,"
said Paul F. Fortes, M.D., a plastic surgeon at the Aesthetic Center for
Plastic Surgery. "The Fraxel is an important part of our repertoire,
offering an excellent solution for photo damage as well enabling us to
focus on fine lines."
With a myriad of deep microscopic columns of tissue coagulation, the new
device reduces dispersion of heat, enabling the Aesthetic Center for
Plastic Surgery to use higher energies and treat more deeply. The result is
smoother, clearer, firmer rejuvenated skin. Pores shrink. Wrinkles, acne
scars and other scarring diminishes. Age spots and brown spots disappear.
Benefits of the new laser include the following:
-- It is a non-invasive, effective and safe technology option for skin
problems.
-- It helps patients suffering from acne scarring, melasma, hormonal skin
discoloration, sun damaged skin, periorbital wrinkles and age spots.
-- The procedure is completed without disturbing the skin's protective
outer barrier, resulting in natural stimulation of new collagen.
-- There is minimal downtime with this procedure, patients can usually
return to work the next day.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the Fraxel SR1500
for the treatment of melasma, acne and surgical scars. Treatment spares
healthy tissue, so it is effective even on delicate skin areas, such as the
neck, chest and hands.
