Fraxel

Arrowhead Plastic Surgeons offers Fraxel to patients in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Bowling Green, Findlay, Sylvania and the surrounding areas.

What is Fraxel?

Fraxel laser technology is ideal for adults with mild to moderate wrinkles around the eyes, age spots and Melasma, as well as acne scars, mainly due to sun damage. This unique approach allows for dramatic cosmetic improvement without the prolonged downtime and discomfort of traditional techniques. It's so gentle that it can be used on the neck, chest and hands. After treatment, your skin will look rejuvenated, vibrant, healthy and years younger.

If you'd like to see some Fraxel before and after pictures, or if you simply want to learn more about the procedure, schedule your consultation today. Our surgeons are happy to discuss your specific goals, as well as typical Fraxel pricing, during your one-on-one appointment.

How is Fraxel Performed?

All Fraxel treatments are performed right here in our Maumee office. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anesthetic will be applied. Once this ointment has taken effect – within about 60 to 90 minutes – a trained Fraxel technician will administer the laser treatment to help rejuvenate the skin.

The procedure shouldn't take more than 20 to 25 minutes, and once complete, the topical anesthetic will be removed.

Am I a Good Candidate for Fraxel?

You may be a good candidate for Fraxel if you want to treat or prevent any of the following:

There are three different types of Fraxel, including Fraxel re:fine, Fraxel re:store and Fraxel re:pair. Each has a different level of strength to treat different conditions, which your doctor will discuss with you during your initial consultation.

What Kind of Post-Operative Fraxel Care Can I Expect?

The Fraxel treatment targets the deeper layer of the skin – the dermis – so your outer, epidermis layer will remain undamaged. You may experience some redness, reminiscent of a sunburn. You should treat it as such, keeping skin moisturized and out of the sun. Your old skin cells will soon slough off, making way for new skin and collagen to develop.

You'll be able to return to daily activities immediately, and makeup may be worn to cover up any redness. Keep in mind that every patient's skin is different, so if you notice any unusual or painful side effects, contact your doctor immediately.

What are the Typical Results of Fraxel?

Everybody's skin is different, but most of our Fraxel patients in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg and the surrounding areas report full results within about two to three months. Not only does Fraxel reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but it also improves skin tone, texture and pore size, creating a smoother, fresher, more youthful appearance. Still skeptical? Take a look at these Fraxel before and after pictures, which are sure to convince you of the results.

What are Maumee Fraxel Costs?

Fraxel costs vary from patient to patient, as there are different degrees of the treatment depending on your goals. We recommend scheduling a one-on-one consultation with one of our highly trained surgeons to discuss costs, as well as learn more about which treatment is right for you.
