The segment profiles four women who had various skin rejuvenation treatments, including Thermage for body and facial skin tightening and Fraxel laser treatment for skin tone improvement. New York City dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas also discussed the benefits of Thermage and Fraxel Restore treatments, as well as Isolaz acne treatment, with Today Show host Meredith Vieira.

Fraxel Restore was used to improve the skin tone of two women suffering from uneven pigmentation. Jill, 43, has fair skin and experienced considerable sun exposure without adequate sun protection as a child. She had Fraxel laser treatment to repair the sun damage on her face and was pleased with the results and new skin cell growth stimulated by the Fraxel laser.

“It really got rid of so much of the sun damage that I could see. It just makes me feel like I have fresh, new skin,” Jill said.

Dr. Chapas informed viewers about Fraxel Restore recovery, indicating that a few days of redness and dryness may occur after treatment. She also indicated that for best results, Fraxel Restore may need to be performed in a series of one to three treatments, depending on the needs of your skin.

Lisa, 46, also sought treatment with the Fraxel laser to improve skin discoloration she developed as a result of health issues and breakouts. In addition to undergoing treatment with the Fraxel Restore, Lisa also had Thermage skin tightening performed on her face to correct mild skin laxity.

The story’s final story highlighted another woman named Lisa, 37, who had Thermage treatment performed on her abdomen to tighten sagging skin lingering after two pregnancies. Dr. Chapas explained that Thermage skin tightening works by stimulating collagen production and indicated that Thermage results typically last one to two years.

Fraxel Restore skin rejuvenation and Thermage skin tightening procedures are available at the offices of Eugene plastic surgeon Dr. Lee Daniel.

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 by editor

Thermage Inc., the popular skin tightening device manufacturer, has “turned a new page” in medical aesthetics ‘Solta Medical’ is their new corporate name and a new branding style has been created for the Thermage product.

The changes follow the company’s purchase of California based fractional laser manufacturer, Reliant Technologies; a deal that was initiated last year for approximately $87.5 million.  Reliant Tech was known for producing the successful fraxel brand of laser skin resurfacing systems, a brand which is now under the umbrella of Solta Medical.

A new stock ticker symbol will be recognized as “SLTM” on the Nasdaq.

In a recent press release, President Stephen J. Fanning commented, “the name and ticker symbol changes are a great start to the New Year and a key milestone in the integration of the acquisition of Reliant Technologies Inc.”

Fraxel in Eugene

We think Fraxel has changed our world here in Eugene and our patients do too.

Reliant Technologies, the maker of the popular Fraxel laser, has quickly become known as the standard for laser skin resurfacing.

According to Inc. magazine’s editor Jane Berentson, “If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500.”

Inc. magazine’s prestigious list is mostly dependent on dramatic revenue growth. For Reliant, increases of the sales of their Fraxel laser systems (a 1450 percent increase) over the past 3 years has largely contributed to the company’s success.

In response to the ranking, Reliant CEO Eric Stang said, “We are pleased to be included in such a prestigious group of fast growing, successful companies that have been chosen by Inc. magazine.”

Chief technology officer Len DeBenedictis explained their rapid growth and success as a direct result of the success of Fraxel lasers used in aesthetic practices, saying, “We’ve seen continuous dramatic growth in the demand for Fraxel treatments as consumers become more aware of the safety and efficacy of our unique suite of skin rejuvenation products.”

Fraxel Laser Treatments in Eugene, Oregon

Thursday, July 31st, 2008 by admin

The Fraxel Laser is a skin resurfacing laser procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of aging or sun damaged skin.  Scarring from acne, wrinkles and skin blotches can be significantly improved with the Fraxel Laser.

The Fraxel Laser produces thousands of tiny deep penetrations into the dermis of the skin known as microthermal zones, or MTZs.  This process causes the skin to heal itself, leaving the treated areas with renewed healthy tighter tissue.

Read more about Fraxel laser treatment in Eugene on our website.

This video demonstrates the use of Fraxel Laser Treatments on the skin.
