New! Fraxel™ DUAL from Skin & Body Renewal

It is actually quite easy; pick up the phone and make an appointment with your Body Renewal specialist for the latest Fraxel™ DUAL laser treatment.

What makes the Fraxel™ DUAL Laser a game changer in skin rejuvenation?

 ~ The "Dual" Difference is unique in that it can treat areas off the face such as the neck, chest, hands
    and arms. Any area of the body can now be treated. This is especially relevant in South Africa
    where sun damage of these areas is so prevalent.
 ~ The new 1550 laser has advanced continuous motion scanning/ tracking which prevents "stacking"
    and "bulking" (this causes burn wounds as per the older technology). This continuous scanning
    controls delivery of energy to the skin and thus produces safe, consistent and uniform heating,
    minimizing post treatment side effects!
 ~ Two wavelengths to treat superficial and deep conditions individually and together.

 ~ Improved comfort through integrated cooling.

 ~ More efficient body treatments and larger areas can be treated in one session.

The FDA approved Fraxel™ DUAL laser treatment is safe and effective for age spots on any area of the body, acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and sagging skin, hormonal pigmentation on any area of body i.e. arms, treating the delicate areas on the face, neck, chest and hands

What is Fraxel™ DUAL Laser Treatment?

Fraxel™ DUAL laser treatment targets ageing and sun damaged skin by creating thousands of tiny treatment channels into the skin, whilst leaving healthy skin around them.

Old and damaged cells are removed from the outer skin layer on any area of the body. It also penetrates deeper into the dermis to stimulate production of new collagen, elastin, fibrin and hyaluronic acid that will regenerate and rejuvenate the areas being treated.

The secret of the Fraxel™ DUAL laser treatment is that it only treats a fraction of tissue at a time, leaving the rest of the skin intact which promotes rapid healing. It resurfaces the skin by stimulating the growth of healthy and new skin cells from the inside out.

Will this Fraxel™ DUAL treatment last?

After a few sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, the results will last as long as you take good care of your skin. At Body Renewal we will recommend which products will help maintain your skin’s healthy appearance for as long as possible. We have specially formulated and compounded a new body cream; Skin Renewal Body Cream, a 6 - in - 1 cream that contains Glycolic acid, Actiwhite, Arbutin, Delentigo, Vit A and Matrixyl (a super peptide) to lighten pigmented areas and to stimulate collagen.

As you age, it may be necessary for some maintenance; it is however important to avoid sun exposure and never go anywhere without sun protection.

What can I expect after treatment?

Straight after the Fraxel™ DUAL treatment you can expect a similar mild sunburn sensation that lasts for a few hours, after which you will experience some redness and swelling, depending on the treatment depth and sensitivity of your skin.

After a few days, skin will start to heal and the old cells will flake off, to be replaced by healthy new tissue.

Make-up can be applied immediately after the procedure and men are able to shave approximately twelve hours after treatment, hence there is very little downtime.
