Do consumer reviews tell the whole story about Fraxel Restore laser therapy?
In 2013 Popsugar, a popular Australian online fashion and beauty magazine, announced the secret to Kim Kardashian’s flawless complexion – Fraxel laser therapy. Other celebrities began to talk about their experiences with this skin transforming treatment. Fraxel, however, isn’t the sole domain of Hollywood stars and starlets. Dr. Jeanine Downie delivers safe laser rejuvenation to women and men throughout the
Essex Fells area with Fraxel Restore.
Thousand of non-celebrities from all walks of life have taken advantage of Fraxel Restore laser therapy to address fine lines and wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, acne scarring, and stretch marks. Some sought the services of Board-certified dermatologists like Dr. Downie. Others looked for the lowest price. That’s why you’ll find a broad spectrum of feedback when you search the internet for “Fraxel Restore reviews.”
Fraxel Restore is a dual wavelength fractionated laser. It breaks the beam of laser light into thousands of microscopic columns that penetrate the skin without harming surrounding cells. That stimulates the body’s natural healing and collagen-building processes for complexion refinement. The 1927 wavelength is for superficial photo rejuvenation (to even out skin pigmentation). The 1550 nanometer wavelength penetrates deeper, to smooth skin texture.

In Dr. Downie’s experienced hands, Fraxel Restore is safe and very effective. She adheres to the highest ethical standards, providing full information to help her patients make informed skin care decisions. Before scheduling Fraxel Restore, Dr. Downie explains these important aspects:
- Comfort level. image Dermatology ® P.C. takes extra steps to ensure that treatment is tolerated with minimal discomfort.
- Healing. The recovery period following a Fraxel Restore session is typically two to three days, possibly up to a week for very sensitive skin.

However, these side effects are temporary and can be disguised with makeup.
- Number of treatments. Dr. Downie generally recommends up to three sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal improvement. The collagen remodeling results are long-lasting, but many patients opt for occasional touch-up treatments to maintain gorgeous skin.
- Not for everyone. Dr. Downie creates skin rejuvenation programs customized for the individual patient. At image Dermatology ® P.C., treatment is never one-size-fits-all. If she feels that another technique is more appropriate or that Fraxel Restore would be most effective in combination with other methods, she will explain and answer your questions.

Internet research is a terrific start to your quest for youthful skin, but it is important to remember that reviews don’t tell the whole store.
