Fraxel Re:Pair™
Dr. Michele Koo is among the few plastic surgeons who uses Fraxel Re:PairC lasers which when done correctly can rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck and chest in just ONE treatment. While other facial rejuvenation procedures involve the use of lasers, Fraxel Re:Pair™ lasers can be much more effective in one treatment, while other laser treatments require multiple sessions.
As evidence of Dr. Koo’s dedication to new technologies and procedures, the revolutionary new Fraxel Re:Pair™ allows Dr. Koo to rejuvenate a large surface area of skin without surgery or repeated sessions. By introducing this new technology to her St. Louis practice, Dr. Koo is able to deliver the desired results from the procedure while minimizing patient discomfort and recovery time.
Fraxel Re:Pair™ is the first and only facial rejuvenation technique of its kind to receive FDA approval for wrinkles, fine lines, irregular texture, sun spots and age spots, and sun-induced redness. The lasers precisely target thousands of microscopic areas of the skin, and penetrates deep to the underlying tissues to stimulate collagen and skin cell growth.
Since Fraxel Re:Pair™ is so precise, the gentle effects of the laser can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands to treat a number of conditions that may appear as signs of aging. As one of the most advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, Fraxel Re:pair™ is the result of more than two years of extensive testing by Reliant Technologies (Market leader in aesthetic skin rejuvenation).
How Fraxel Re:Pair™ Works
Fraxel Re:Pair™ targets the sub-layers (dermis) of skin that house the natural collagen and elastic production. As a person ages, the production of these proteins simply break down faster than the body can produce them naturally. By focusing microscopic laser columns deep into the dermis, multiple small “wounds” are made under the surface of the skin which triggers the body’s natural healing process. This increases the production of collagen and elastin dramatically, causing skin to appear more plump, full and revitalized.
While general CO2 laser procedures will create these tiny “wounds” across the entire surface of the skin, Fraxel Re:Pair™ uses a fractional approach that leaves surrounding undamaged tissue. This greatly reduces down/recovery times for patients while delivery great results.
The Fraxel Re:Pair™ system delivers quality results without the need for invasive surgery or extensive down/recovery time. Dr. Michele Koo is proud to offer this procedure as on of the many tools used to create a revitalized and rejuvenated facial appearance.
