Forget Super Bowl XLII. We've got Fraxel!

For those new to beauty tipsy - welcome! And for those who originally visited on Quixtar's Opportunity Zone, welcome back. I know it's Super Bowl Sunday and most of us are focused on football festivities, but my sights are set on something beautifully monumental - the Fraxel re:pair laser system. Approved by the FDA in 2007, this modern day miracle debuted on the Today Show last Friday and at the big American Academy of Dermatology  meeting this weekend. 

So what's the big breakthrough? The Fraxel re:pair laser is promised to save face and recovery time for millions of beauty mavens. By using the laser to repair and tighten skin while in your 40s or 50s, you may never have to deal with the sagging, spots, wrinkles, or roughness that often drive people to the knife. That's right, the Fraxel re:pair is offering an alternative to the highly invasive facelift. Using advanced ablative technology the re:pair laser not only resurfaces the skin, it actually targets "trouble spots" while avoiding healthy tissue. 
That targeted technology is what makes all the difference! Sure, there are resurfacing treatments right now, but the entire surface of the skin is treated, whether it needs it or not. Using only targeted repair, the typical redness and swelling associated with laser resurfacing is significantly reduced. And let's not forget that one appointment with the re:pair laser also alleviates the future urge for a costly and invasive facelift.

The skinny: re:pair promises resurfacing in a totally new package - a targeted, preventive alternative to the facelift. Of course recovery time is dependent on a variety of factors but in general it's about five days. The only cost estimate I've heard is somewhere between $3000 - $5000. Considering the benefits, I'd say it's well worth the cost. Watch for the Fraxel re:pair (Fraxel Facelift) to show up on every A-list in every beauty arena. 

Go Giants!
