Fraxel® in San Jose & Palo Alto
While it's impossible to actually be younger than you are today, Dr. Hoffman makes it easy to look younger. Older laser skin treatments can effectively correct many of the signs of aging, such as sun damage, fine wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation, but they also involve what can be a long and uncomfortable healing period. Fraxel® laser treatments in San Jose, CA have changed all that.
What makes the Fraxel laser unique is that it doesn't treat the entire surface of the skin. Instead, it treats pinpoint columns of the skin while leaving surrounding areas untreated. The laser's energy initiates the healing process, naturally encouraging your skin to increase collagen production. Collagen is an essential building block of healthy, youthful-looking skin. Because only a portion of the skin surface is affected, your body is able to heal more rapidly.
Fraxel treatments correct conditions like sun damage, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. Dr. Hoffman offers other MedSpa treatments to rejuvenate the skin as well, like a chemical peels or BOTOX® Cosmetic.

The Procedure
Fraxel treatments are performed as an in-office procedure. First, the treatment areas are cleansed and then a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize any discomfort. After the anesthesia has taken effect, your treatment will be complete in about 30 minutes. While you will likely see improvements after your first visit, optimal results usually require 3 to 5 visits spaced about 4 weeks apart to allow healing.
Recovery and Results
Fraxel treatments require minimal recovery time, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterwards. Treated areas often look like they've been mildly sunburned for the first day or two. Dr. Hoffman's patients enjoy younger looking skin that is smoother, firmer, with more even coloring. Many women and men notice improvements within about a week of their first treatment. Because Fraxel increases collagen production, improvements continue to appear gradually for about 6 months after the final treatment.
