Fraxel those freckles

Summer means bar-b-ques, swimming, fireworks, and sun. Lots and lots of sun. And sun on our skin creates damage, which shows up as rough patches and unwanted brown spots.

Thankfully, there's a great laser treatment called the Fraxel Dual that can treat pigmentation.  The thulium laser creates little superficial zones while leaving normal skin in between, allowing for less downtime, minimal discomfort, and faster recovery time.  After about 3-5 days of light peeling, brighter, refreshed skin is revealed. In addition to pigment, it helps to smooth fine lines and treats precancerous rough spots. Usually 2-3 treatments, performed a month apart, are recommended.  Other body sites, like the neck, chest, arms, and hands can also be treated.  With regular sunscreen use and minimal sun exposure, the great results can be maintained.

Undo the damage from the summer and start the fall season with brighter skin!
