Doctor Introduces New Laser Treatment for Aging and Sun-Damaged Skin

Dr. Kris Reddy is the first plastic surgeon in West Palm Beach to introduce the Fraxel Laser to the Area. The Fraxel Laser helps tighten skin texture and tone, eliminate acne scars and brown spots, and reduce facial lines with no downtime

West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) September 21, 2005

Dr. Kris Reddy, FACS and the Center of Plastic Surgery of West Palm Beach, FL, is the first plastic surgeon in West Palm Beach to offer a new aesthetic solution to turn back the clock on aging and sun-damaged skin that provides the benefits of traditional skin resurfacing techniques without the downtime and risks.

This newest generation of non-invasive laser technology called Fraxel™ Laser Treatment resurfaces photodamaged skin, treats periorbital (around the eyes) wrinkles and improves pigmented lesions such as age spots and sun spots on the face, neck, chest and hands.

Dr. Kris Reddy, FACS reports that the Fraxel laser is specially designed to create thousands of microscopic thermal spots that form vertical columns of treated skin tissue that are separated and surrounded by unaffected, healthy skin. This innovative approach allows the doctor to treat only a small fraction of skin at a time so it heals much faster than if the entire area were treated at once. Moreover, and in contrast to non-ablative laser/light therapies, Fraxel Laser Treatment creates new epidermal skin in the treatment zones within 24 hours.

“Fraxel Laser Treatment represents new-generation laser resurfacing with predictable results. It rebuilds damaged skin like digital modification -- pixel by pixel, spot by spot,” says Dr. Reddy “Think of your skin as a family portrait or a digital photograph in need of high-quality restoration or touch-up. A painting is delicately restored one small area at a time, or a photo is digitally altered, pixel by pixel. That’s the scientific principle behind Fraxel Laser Treatment.”

Safe and effective, the Fraxel laser is cleared by the FDA and has undergone extensive testing in the lab and out in the field. Dr. Reddy says that based on his clinical experience, an effective treatment regime generally requires three to five treatment sessions over four to eight weeks.

“In our practice, we have observed nice improvements in uneven skin color and wrinkles around the eye area. The treated skin is smooth, soft and fresh. In fact, our patients are so thrilled with how young and attractive they look that their friends and family members are requesting Fraxel treatment, especially when compared to other abrasive treatments that are associated with far more significant side effects,” notes Dr. Reddy.

Other key advantages of Fraxel Laser Treatment (FLT) are:

No scalpel, no stitches, no needles

No general anesthesia – FLT is well tolerated with a topical anesthetic

Convenience – the procedure takes about 30 minutes in the doctor’s office

High safety and proven effectiveness on neck, chest and hands

Virtually no risk of complications or adverse events

Natural, youthful-looking results
