Laser Skin Rejuvenation Beverly Hills
Dr. Frankel is excited to be the first doctor is Southern California to have the new Fraxis PRO device from Cutera.
Refresh and revive your skin with Fraxis PRO, a leading-edge laser treatment that can address sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and more. This device is the only multi-technology platform that features a fractional CO2 laser and RF microneedling for a total anti-aging solution.
Dr. Frankel was afforded the opportunity to be the first practitioner to employ the Fraxis PRO because of his status as a Key Opinion Leader. Fraxis PRO takes a non-conventional approach to skin revitalization by uniquely combining two clinically proven technologies in a single device.
It is the first machine to combine microneedling and CO2 laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of varying thicknesses of the layers of the skin. The energy applied stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid production and changes the skin structure to one that is more youthful.
The combination of RF microneedling and CO2 laser provides customizable options for patients who want limited downtime as well as those who want aggressive therapy.
NLF & Jawline: 25 Pin Non-insulate / 2.5-0.5 mm / Auto Delay / 50% / 5 Passes
Fraxis Pro uses a microneedling system that delivers bi-polar radio frequency energy between the needles at selective skin depths with varying intensities. With the use of two types of needles (insulated and non-insulated), the device can deliver a depth of RF energy that heats the deeper layers from .5mm-3.5mm.
The insulated needles can concentrate the energy at the tip, while the non-insulated needles can deliver energy to the entire depth. These features facilitate treating all skin types and reduce downtime, discomfort, and complications.
Fraxis PRO also features a high-powered fractional CO2 laser scanner to deliver stable, uniform energy in short pulses. Fractional CO2 laser has proven to be an essential tool for treating skin by resurfacing the top layer in a manner such that a fraction of the skin’s surface area is left intact, which allows for faster healing and fewer side effects than those associated with the fully ablative lasers of the past.
Its small beam size minimizes downtime, reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and provides optimal results. This fractional CO2 component can be used very conservatively or more aggressively depending on the specific needs.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation: FRAXIS PRO VS TRADITIONAL CO2 LASER AND MICRO NEEDLING
It allows for more complete skin rejuvenation with less down time. Fraxis Pro is the ONLY device that combines the two treatments. By layering CO2 laser energy with radio frequency microneedling, an incredible range of skin conditions can be treated in a single session by utilizing the modalities alone or in combination.
The RF microneedling can remodel the dermis deeper layer) of the skin without injuring the epidermis (surface). Thus, rather than using the CO2 to treat then entire thickness of the skin, it can be applied more specifically to the surface with greater coverage and less intensity.
This combination results in more comprehensive revitalization of all the skin layers with less redness, crusting, discomfort, and associated risks. Treatments can be customized based on the specific types of skin as well as the types of conditions to be treated.
This Cutera component treats the surface of the skin and can be used conservatively or more aggressively depending on the patient’s needs.

Can Fraxis PRO be used to keep my skin from sagging?
One wonderful application of the RF microneedling is to help impede the aging process on the skin. The new collagen formation simulated by the treatments serves to make the skin more firm and tighter. The histologic changes that result from these treatments are longstanding, if not permanent improvements.

What to expect during your recovery from Laser Skin Rejuvenation treatment?
As a rule, recovery from Fraxis PRO treatments is associated with little down time and discomfort. If your treatment is limited to use of the RF microneedling component the downtime is only one to three days. If the CO2 is also utilized, then the period of redness, swelling, and stinging can persist for six to seven days.
With the addition of the CO2 laser you can also expect some sloughing and flakiness within those first few days. This is completely normal, and is how your body heals itself after the procedure to deliver a brighter appearing skin.
