Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing
Fraxel by Reliant started it all! In 2004, Fractional technology revolut
ionized industry of anti-aging, collagen remodeling and skin resurfacing.
Today, Fraxel SR1500 is still a very attractive and safe option for treatment
of pigmented lesions, periorbital wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars,
skin resurfacing and soft tissue coagulation.
This non-ablative fractional resurfacing device produces microscopic treatment zones, or MTZs, which coagulate tissue below the surface while leaving the epidermis intact. The undamaged surrounding layer acts as a natural bandage, promoting rapid healing and a barrier against secondary bacterial infection. In the 3-month period after the procedure, the MTZs are completely replaced by new collagen! While visible improvement in skin texture is almost immediate, your results will continue to improve in the following months.

Our experience with Fraxel started in 2004 when Fraxel SR Reliant Technologies was approved by FDA for soft tissue coagulation. Soon after, Dr. Tryzno proudly rolled in the Fraxel SR to his clinic, among the first in the USA to embrace the new technology. In 2007, the FDA approved the new-and-improved Fraxel SR1500. That same year, the laser was brought into the clinic and has been used ever since.

Disclaimer: Every patient is unique; therefore cosmetic results can vary between patients. No two laser treatments will get same results – even if performed by same physician on patients with similar conditions.
