Experience Advanced Skin Resurfacing with Frax Pro 1940 & 1550

At Dr. Shanthala’s Boston-area clinic, we specialize in cutting-edge non-ablative laser treatments using the Fraxel Pro 1940 and 1550. These fractional lasers are designed to treat a variety of skin conditions including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues, with minimal downtime and exceptional results. Whether you’re looking for deep skin resurfacing or more superficial improvements, Dr. Shanthala customizes each treatment to meet your skin goals.

What is the Difference Between Fraxel Pro 1940 and 1550?

Fraxel Pro 1940 and Fraxel Pro 1550 target different skin depths for a range of skin issues:

•Fraxel Pro 1550: Ideal for deep resurfacing, this laser is effective for treating wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and skin texture. It penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production and smooth out significant skin irregularities.

•Fraxel Pro 1940: This laser focuses on more superficial layers of the skin, making it the perfect solution for issues like hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines. It also enhances skin tone and texture without the need for aggressive treatment.

During your consultation, Dr. Shanthala will assess your skin and determine whether Fraxel 1550, 1940, or a combination of both is the best option for you.

Combining Fraxel Lasers with Other Treatments for Optimal Results

For enhanced anti-aging results, Dr. Shanthala often combines Fraxel laser treatments with other non-invasive procedures like Botox, dermal fillers, and biostimulators. This multi-modal approach targets not only skin resurfacing but also volume loss and fine lines.

•Botox: Softens dynamic wrinkles that are caused by repetitive muscle movements.

•Dermal Fillers: Restores lost volume and smooths out deep wrinkles, especially in areas like the cheeks and lips.

•Biostimulators: Stimulate collagen production to naturally improve skin elasticity and texture over time.

This combination of treatments can provide a more youthful, glowing appearance without invasive surgery. Dr. Shanthala customizes each plan to ensure you’re getting the best results possible.

How Non-Ablative Lasers Differ from Ablative Lasers

Non-ablative lasers, like the Fraxel Pro 1940 and 1550, work by heating the underlying layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This approach is ideal for patients who want skin rejuvenation without significant downtime.

•Non-Ablative Lasers: 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, offering more dramatic results but with a longer recovery period. Ablative lasers such as 2910nm UltraClear laser are better for deeper wrinkles, severe scars, and more advanced skin damage.

At Dr. Shanthala’s office, we provide a comprehensive consultation where we discuss whether a non-ablative laser or an ablative option, such as a CO2 or UltraClear laser, is best suited for your skin concerns.
