Fraxis™ PRO: Refine
Rejuvenation using microneedling with Radio Frequency (RF). No downtime
The Revive procedure is a combination of the RF microneedling and fractional CO2 laser energy in a single session. This procedure allows you to perform the ideal treatment for progressively damaged skin by increasing collagen and hyaluronic acid production to reduce the signs of aging. The microneedling works in the deeper layers of the skin, helping to create more volume and tightening, then the CO2 laser works on the epidermis, or top layer of the skin, to help create a smoother surface. You and your provider will discuss your concerns and goals for your skin. Your downtime may vary depending on the amount of correction that will be needed to achieve your overall goals.
This procedure is ideal for women aged 40 years old or older wanting deep correction or wanting improvement of acne and surgical scars.
What conditions does it treat?
The combination of two technologies improves fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars, stretch marks, skin texture, pore size, crepey skin, and sun-damaged skin.
What is the treatment like?
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied and/or a prescribed medication will be provided to ensure comfort during the entire procedure. The treatment will begin with multiple passes of the RF microneedling that may feel like slight pressure and tingling while the micro-sized needles gently penetrate the skin. Next, your provider will gently stamp the CO2 laser over the same treatment area to create thousands of microscopic perforations while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This combination procedure will maximize the stimulation of your body’s natural creation of new collagen. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure usually lasts 30-45 minutes.
Is there downtime after the treatment?
The amount of downtime depends on the skin conditions being treated. Superficial procedures will only require a few days to heal, while deeper treatments may require a week. Your provider will discuss the needed healing time before the treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments will depend on the conditions being treated. 1-3 treatments are usually required, and they are generally performed 3-6 weeks apart. Your provider will discuss and determine your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
When will I see results?
Most patients see improvements after 4-6 days or when the exfoliation process is complete. Results will continue to improve over the next 3-4 months after the treatment. Superficial procedures results are visible sooner than deeper treatments. Improvements will appear gradually over the days and weeks following your procedure series, as your skin repairs itself and new collagen forms.
