Meet Dr. HoffmanThe Procedure
Fraxel and IPL treatments are in-office procedures performed by our trained Aesthetic Nurses. In preparation for Fraxel treatments a topical anesthetic is applied to clean skin for 40 to 60 minutes. The Fraxel treatment typically takes about 30 minutes. For IPL treatments, gel and an integrated cooling system are used to ensure comfort. Treatment time is usually about 30 minutes for IPL. While you will likely see some change after your first visit, optimal improvement usually requires 3 to 5 visits, which should be spaced about 4 weeks apart to allow for healing.
Recovery and Results
Minimal recovery time is needed with Fraxel and IPL. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Treated areas often look like they have been mildly sunburned for the first day or 2. Recovery time following Fraxel and IPL treatments will vary depending on the intensity of the procedure. IPL will usually cause age spots or skin lesions to darken and flake off within a few weeks following treatment.
Once the recommended number of sessions is complete, Dr. Hoffman’s patients enjoy younger-looking skin that is smoother, firmer and more even in color. Because Fraxel and IPL stimulate the deeper layers of skin, improvements may continue to appear gradually for 3 to 6 months after the final treatment.
Laser Vein Therapy
The Elite MPX laser can also be used to improve the look of spider veins, broken capillaries and other vascular conditions. This method of treatment is often preferred over sclerotherapy, because it requires no needles and can be performed on almost any part of the body.
