Dr. Abdulla is a especialized consultant of dermatology and venereology who is holding an M.B.B.S. a Doctorate degree in dermatology and veneorology, an American fellowship in dermathopathology and cosmetic dermatology and member of the American and Asian society of anti-aging medicine. We sat down with Dr. Abdulla to discuss a recent Treatment that is being introduced in his clinic in Qatar.
Dr. Hassan, tell us more about Fraxel Laser treatment.
Fraxel laser treatment was created with the many benefits of ablative and non-ablaive lasers, but without the downtime, side effects and recovery length. Fraxel is a unique approach to repairing dammaged skin pixel by pixel,spot by spot.Think of your skin as a digital photograph in need of high-quality restoration or touch up
Fraxel Laser treatment improves your appearance by affecting only fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of tiny microscopic laser spots eliminating old epidermal pigmented cell. Unlike old laser treatments that were used to peel the whole surface of the skin with a period of two weeks of no direct sunlight, Fraxel only peels danaged tisue of the surface of the skin leaving healthy tissues heal the rest while stimulating the inside tissues and the patient can go back to his normal lifestyle within the maximum of 3 days.
Who is considered to be an eligible candidate for this kind of treatment?
Everyone suffering from damaged skin and has the signs aging such as wrinkles,pots and lines, from skin pigmentation such as Melasma as well as any kind of scars; for instance acne scars or dilated pores and even sundamaged skin. It is a treatment for all ages and for both men and women.
How does Fraxel Laser treatment works?
Fraxel produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as micro thermal treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigemented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis.
Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every micro thermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively it leaves the surrounding tissues unaffected and intact.
This fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
Where, when and how is the treatment performed?
Fraxel laser treatment can be done at any time, under an appointment with me as it is performed at my clinic for about an hour and a half.
The treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned prior to the procedure. Next, topical anesthesia is applied. When the effect of the anethesia to takes place, treatment can be performed, which would last for around 30 minutes maximum.
Is there a certain precautions patients should follow before or after treatment in order to maintain results?
None exactly. Patients can go on with their daily routine, after treatment. Redness and swelling will appear depending on the skin type. The skin will have a pinkish tone for couple of days which is a good sign that skin is healing deeply.
Moisturizer and Sun screen should be used to mask the appearance of flaking and protect the new skin from UV exposure.
Women can apply their make-up and men could shave soon after treatment.
When does the result start to show?
New epidermal skin develops immediately within 24 hours, and over the following weeks and months, the body will keep repairing deeper dermal tissues that have been affected by Fraxel Laser Treatment, producing beneficial changes that continue to improve over the following 2 to 3 months.
There are 100% no side effects to Fraxel Laser Treatment. None has been recorded up to date except for a few minor cases where patients don't follow the instructions given to them and when they sometimes try to peel the skin off themselves which can cause pigmentation that could simply be treated with fraxel.
