Dr. Kimberly Finder, dermatologist at The Face Place, is one of the firstin San Antonio to have this new technology. According to Dr. Finder, "Thelaser works by emitting microscopic beams that hit only a portion of the skin.As result, this creates columns of laser treated skin surrounded by normalskin. With the Fraxel re:pair, patients will not only experience a dramaticrepair of their acne scars but they will experience improvement with wrinklesand sun-damaged skin as well."
This new device promotes stimulation of collagen. Thus, individuals willcontinue to see improvement, even weeks after their treatment.
The Fraxel re:pair is the newest in the line of Fraxel lasers. For thepast 4 years, "Fraxel re:store" has been the gold standard for treating acnescars. "Patients now have two ways to improve their scars. If you havedowntime available in your life, then the Fraxel re:store which involves aseries of treatments can improve your scars. However, if your downtime islimited then you can also get excellent results with the newer Fraxel re:pair.It's a choice that patients now have," said Dr. Finder.
Kimberly Finder, M.D. is board certified by the American Board ofDermatology. She is also the Director of The Face Place and The LiposurgeryClinic located in San Antonio, Texas.
