Press Release Body: A revolutionary new concept in Skin Resurfacing has been
unveiled by Nottingham's leading Medical Cosmetic Clinic; Fraxel is a Skin Laser
Treatment which produces immediate results with minimal downtime.

Benefits from the treatment include:
Reductions in acne scarring, especially in dark skin
Improvements in sun damaged skin
Erases unwanted or unsightly brown blemishes
Smoothes wrinkles around the eyes
Rejuvenates susceptible areas such as the neck, chest and hands
Reduces the appearance of stretch marks

Fraxel Laser Treatment uses an extremely accurate technique which targets only the
specific cells requiring treatment. This leaves all neighboring areas completely
unaffected, dramatically reducing the required healing time. Fraxel achieves this by
firing minute pulses into the skin thereby creating zones of healing, separated by
healthy tissue. Most patients describe only a prickling sensation during treatment.
The aim is to treat 20% of the skin with any one treatment with most people having
around 3 to 5 sessions. The treated body area is red for approximately 24-48 hours,
depending on the depth of the treatment.
A few days after treatment the skin will feel exceptionally soft and smooth, however
the optimal improvement is usually achieved after 2 - 3 months which allows time for
the healing process to complete fully. After six months the skin will start to
remodel, lifting out scars and minor imperfections which in the long term means
improved skin quality that is both smoother and fresher in appearance.

Reduce Stretch Marks with Fraxel

Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle layer that helps the skin
retain its shape and they will not form as long as there is support within the
dermis. These unsightly marks can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most
likely to appear in places where larger amounts of fat are present. They pose no
health risk in themselves, and do not compromise the body\'s ability to function
normally and repair itself.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing offers a new approach to treating and reducing the
appearance of stretch marks. It uses scattered pulses of light and only a fraction
of the scar is zapped by the laser over the course of a treatment. This creates
microscopic wounds, which encourage the dermis to heal, therefore there is little
discomfort and downtime after treatment.

Fraxel positive feedback from patients includes 'Improvement was very impressive,
skin texture improved - softer and tighter. Visible results just a few weeks after
treatment and improving still!'
