What to Expect From Your Fraxel Treatment

Considering the Fraxel treatment but not sure how it actually works? Take it from someone who's been through the process. Here's what you can actually expect.

Treatment #1
A layer of gooey cream and about 10 minutes of six laser passes, alternating horizontally and vertically on the face, is pretty much all it takes to complete the 1st Fraxel procedure. A slight throbbing and redness is a completely normal side effect, followed by a brown-dotted pattern of dry skin over the next few days. This will naturally wear off and before you know it, you'll be ready for your next procedure.

Treatments 2 & 3
Depending on the ease of your recovery, the power of your treatment may be increased for following treatments. This can result in longer lasting redness and throbbing, though it will also create more astounding results in the long run. Ice packs and a cold-air blower can minimize any discomfort you are feeling.

About a month after your last treatment
Depending on the specific areas of your face you were looking to treat, fine lines should be smoother, dark spots should fade, and pores should seem much smaller by the 30-day mark. The condition of your skin will also continue to improve. If you wish to keep up with this new appearance, Fraxel procedures must be performed again over time.

3 Botox Myths Debunked

Interested in receiving Botox treatments but don't actually know a whole lot about its capabilities? Botox is certainly a popular choice for smoothing facial fine lines and wrinkles. However, there are plenty of Botox myths that tend to circulate, as well. 

We debunk them below:

Wrinkles will worsen if you stop getting Botox. While Botox will wear off over time and wrinkles can appear as they did before, they certainly will not worsen. 

Botox can only treat wrinkles. While wrinkles are a top reason for Botox use, it can effectively treat a large number of things - including migraines, excessive sweating and depression. 

Botox should only be applied after wrinkles appear. Botox is actually a very good preventative treatment and can be used at early signs of aging instead of waiting for wrinkles to appear. This approach can actually improve the overall results.

Have more questions about Botox? We administer the treatment at our Radiance Medspa Wheaton location and can address all of your concerns.

Are You Getting the Treatment You Think You Are? Fraxel vs. Fractional Laser Treatment

Looking for a refreshed, confident, youthful glow? The revolutionary Fraxel laser skincare treatment can give you that, as long as you are signing up for the procedure that you think you are.

Many people think they are receiving a Fraxel treatment when they're actually just getting a "fractional laser treatment." The Fraxel brand name laser is clinically proven to deliver results while other procedures, though with similar efforts, are not.

Protect yourself by ensuring you are getting the treatment or product you are paying for. Verify with the manufacture that the clinic actually has the Fraxel machinery or that a website selling the product is a certified re-seller. You can also find a legitimate doctor on Fraxel's "Find a Physician" page. Radiance Medspa of Wheaton will be on that list!

How Photorejuvenation Can Treat Your Skin

Whether you're looking for a spa treatment that can treat acne, remove sunspots, visible veins or similar imperfections, photorejuvination is an effective and safe technology to choose. Commonly known as a photofacial, this treatment is both a popular and affordable option for improving your skin.

So how does it work? An FDA approved device, called the Palomar RejuveLux™, delivers pulsed light to the effected area - treating imperfections and leaving the surrounding tissue in tact. Depending on the extent of your condition, this procedure can take anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes - making it a quick alternative to other skincare methods.

Your skin's tissue absorbs the light, stimulating collagen production that then combats fine lines, wrinkles & redness. Five to six sessions is the average number of treatments needed to achieve maximum results, however, this number can vary person to person.
