Improve skin health from the inside with Fraxel Dual treatment in North County San Diego

Understanding sun-damage

Exposure to ultraviolet light excites production of melanin, your body’s innate defense against burning. While you might initially enjoy the tan, you probably don’t like the other effects sun has on skin:

• Uneven pigmentation – spots, moles, and freckles.
• Solar elastosis – breakdown of collagen and elastin, fibrous proteins that keep skin thick, firm, and resilient.
• Rough, dry texture.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.

Fractionated laser therapy

Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative laser, so treatment is more gentle than laser resurfacing. The device sends columns of light into deep skin layers. The energy heats tissues, creating microscopic thermal columns that trigger the body’s natural healing processes. As new, healthy cells build on the inside, you see beautiful results on the outside. Fresh collagen tones and firms skin, fills lines, and smooths wrinkles.Surrounding skin is intact and unharmed, for speedy recovery. Healing time is typically three days or less.

Each type of laser has specific applications. It takes a great deal of advanced training and experience to guide a patient to the best treatment choice for his or her specific skin type, appearance concern, lifestyle, and budget. As a Board-Certified Dermatologist and member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Amanda Lloyd is well qualified to provide healthy skin advice and treatment.
