Combining Fraxel Northshore Lasers with Injectables Optimal Results

This combination of treatments can provide a more youthful, glowing appearance without invasive surgery. Dr. Shanthala customizes each plan to ensure you get the best results possible.
How Non-Ablative Lasers Differ from Ablative Lasers
Non-ablative Frax Pro 1940 and 1550, Fraxel Andover, Fraxel Peabody area work by heating the underlying layers of the skin without damaging the epidermal surface. This approach is ideal for patients who want skin rejuvenation without significant downtime—minimal side effects such as erythema & Oedema.
•Fractional Non-Ablative Lasers Peabody performed by expert Cosmetic MD since 2014. These lasers create micro-injuries beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production while leaving the outer skin intact. They require less recovery time and are perfect for addressing issues like mild wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation.
•Ablative Lasers: These CO2 lasers remove the top layer of skin, such as the epidermis, offering more dramatic results but with a longer recovery period. Ablative lasers such as 2910nm UltraClear laser & Lase-Coring are better for deeper wrinkles, severe scars, and more advanced skin damage with minimal downtime but superb outcomes.
At Dr. Shanthala’s office, we provide a comprehensive consultation to discuss whether a non-ablative laser or an ablative option, such as a CO2 or UltraClear laser, best suits your skin concerns.
