New York City Fraxel Laser directory information

The New York City Fraxel Restore directory is an unbiased resource for locating New York City doctors who may provide this laser resurfacing procedure. All of the New York City physicians listed in this directory are listed according to their level of participation in the community. RealSelf.com does not accept advertorials or paid directory placements in the New York City doctor directory.

The Fraxel Restore Laser treatment is offered by New York City dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians as a treatment for skin resurfacing, sun damage, age spots, stretch marks, acne scarring, melasma, and wrinkle reduction.

Fraxel laser treatments are often administered with the use of a topical anesthetic cream to eliminate any discomfort. The Fraxel laser has been shown in some studies to eliminate precancerous cells and prevent skin cancer.

How does the Fraxel fractional resurfacing laser work?

During treatment, the Fraxel Restore Laser produces thousands of tiny columns of treatment in the skin, known as microscopic treatment zones, or MTZs.

The Fraxel laser penetrates deep into the dermis to eliminate old epidermal pigmented cells. For every microscopic zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.

Tips for New York City Consumers Considering Fraxel Laser Treatment

1. Ask to see before and after photos of your Fraxel laser treatment provider's actual patients.

2. Ask your provider who will be performing the procedure and how many Fraxel laser treatments they have performed.

3. Know the law in New York City pertaining to medical laser treatments. Is a physician required to be on the premises or nearby during treatment? Policy regarding the presence of a physician varies dramatically by state.

4. Make sure the benefits and risks of Fraxel laser treatment are fully explained to you in a consultation.
