Dr. Adriana Ribe has extensive experience with this laser technology to treat wrinkles that has been recognized with the Diamond Award in the United States.
To treat facial wrinkles, in a natural and non-invasive way, we perform the Fraxel re-store 1550nm laser. Depending on the type of skin, the degree of severity of the wrinkles and the patient’s expectations, we will propose a number of sessions. It is a completely customized treatment protocol for wrinkles.
The Fraxel laser was the first to apply fractional technology in 2004, assuming a great technological revolution. And in addition to fractional technology, the company patented the way in which laser energy is emitted with intelligent optics that is still the best today.
Since 2004, several versions of this Fraxel laser have appeared and according to Dr. Ribé “the new Fraxel DUAL laser with two wavelengths acts very effectively on the skin of the face to treat wrinkles by stimulating the own production of collagen new and higher quality while renewing the epidermis. It’s like changing our old skin for a higher quality one. ”
Sliding the laser head through the skin emits a light that acts on all skin layers. The treatment to remove, attenuate or prevent wrinkles is customized since it goes with a computer that allows you to select the power with which you want to work and thus, act in superficial layers, intermediate and deep as needed.Technologically, this laser for the treatment of facial wrinkles acts in a fractional way. That is, it produces microscopic laser treated columns in the skin (epidermis and dermis) leaving the tissue intact between the columns. Thus, the tissue of the treated columns will be renewed producing a new collagen and a more trophic epidermis aided by healthy surrounding tissue that promotes this repair. It is a natural process of the body itself replacing the collagen damaged by a new, healthy and luminous skin with wrinkles less pronounced or without wrinkles.
To achieve the results you look for in your treatment to remove, mitigate or prevent facial wrinkles, it usually takes several sessions. Dr. Adriana Ribé recommends a personalized treatment protocol after a precise skin diagnosis, which ranges from 3 to 5 sessions depending on the case. The exact number of sessions is personalized according to the state of the skin and the results that are expected to be obtained.
The laser treatment to remove, attenuate or prevent wrinkles of the face requires applying anesthetic cream to prevent possible discomfort 1 hour before the session.

You can make up if desired and resume social life immediately.
Depending on the level of treatment, after the laser procedure to remove, attenuate or prevent wrinkles of the face, the skin is red and somewhat swollen, but the symptoms disappear the next day. The days that follow the laser treatment, the skin acquires a natural “tan” appearance that returns to normal in 4-5 days, bringing out a fresh, smooth and luminous skin with more attenuated wrinkles or without wrinkles.

After a few days, the skin is smoother, softer, more luminous and with more attenuated wrinkles. In each session the results accumulate and the improvement increases. In addition, at the end of the sessions, the skin continues to improve for the next 3-6 months as new cells that have been activated continue to produce new collagen.
The duration of the results after the laser treatment to remove, attenuate or prevent wrinkles of the face depends on the lifestyle, age, condition and skin care of each person.
