One of the most common questions I'm asked in consultations is whether Fraxel is safe for patients with darker skin types. The honest, nuanced answer is that it can be safe in the right hands with the right pre-treatment protocol, but for many of my patients with medium to deep skin tones, Fraxel is not the laser I recommend first.
After more than 30 years of performing laser treatments at my Upper East Side practice, I've watched Fraxel evolve from a newer technology into one of the most reliable tools in cosmetic dermatology. I've also watched patient expectations evolve alongside it, sometimes in ways that lead to disappointment when expectations don't match reality.
When it comes to improving your skin, choosing the right skin treatment can feel overwhelming. Two of the most popular options are radiofrequency (RF) and laser skin treatments. Both promise smoother, younger-looking skin, but they work in very different ways. Understanding how these aesthetic treatments function and what they target can help you choose the best solution for your skin concerns.
If you’ve noticed sun spots, uneven pigmentation, or persistent facial redness that won’t fade, you may be wondering how many IPL treatments it takes to see real improvement. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) has become one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for sun damage, rosacea, and discoloration.
In the pursuit of a radiant, smooth, youthful complexion, it’s no surprise that many people explore multiple skincare treatments to improve their results. Among the most effective and popular non-invasive options is Clear & Brilliant®, a gentle fractional laser that rejuvenates the skin’s tone and texture and increases its luminosity. But what happens when you combine Clear & Brilliant with other treatments such as microneedling, injectables, exosomes or PRP therapy?
