About Fraxel Re:pair CO2 Laser
The Fraxel Laser systems use a patented scanning technology to deliver laser pulses in tiny dots on the skin in a fractional pattern. These microscopic laser beams penetrate more deeply into the skin than traditional CO2 lasers and vaporize tiny columns of tissue while leaving adjacent areas untreated next to each treated column. These untreated areas spur faster healing and maintain skin integrity. This is the reason the healing is fast and far more comfortable than full surface CO2 laser procedures.
CO2 Laser History - The CO2 laser came into use over a decade ago and became THE laser for serious skin resurfacing. However, despite the often incredible levels of skin improvement, the treatment itself and the long healing time were a roadblock to the vast majority of people and the CO2 laser quickly lost its desirability. Nothing has approached the effects of CO2 laser until the introduction of the Fraxel re:pair. And no other type of laser on the market today can match the tightening abilities created by the fractional penetration depths of the Re:pair.

"Patients are often wary of CO lasers and surgical procedures because the post-treatment healing process can last as long as two weeks and disrupt their quality of life. Study results indicate that by combining fractional and ablative technologies, this treatment may be a new treatment paradigm in the skin resurfacing arena, providing dramatic results that patients and physicians want without significant risks."
Zakia Rahman, M.D. clinical instructor of dermatology at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, and medical director of the Fraxel Laser Clinic.
