At Shideler Dermatology and Skin Care Center, we are excited to offer the NEW Fraxel 2 Laser Treatment. Shideler Dermatology and Skin Care Center is the first physician's office in the state of Indiana to offer this safe, non-invasive procedure that repairs damaged skin pixel by pixel, spot by spot with minimal downtime by promoting fast and natural healing. It will restore the healthy skin of your youth. See for yourself how Fraxel Laser Treatment can help you achieve beautiful skin!
The Fraxel laser produces tiny, microscopic areas of laser treatment, leaving areas of untouched healthy skin in-between. Healthy cells in the untouched areas promote rapid healing of the entire area with no downtime. Fraxel is especially beneficial for areas that can’t be treated with traditional laser peels, like the neck, chest and tops of the hands.
After your very first FRAXEL Laser Treatment, you will begin to feel the difference in your skin, as it gradually becomes softer, smoother, and fresher. Fine lines around your eyes will noticeably fade. So will uneven coloring and the brown spots caused by aging and sun exposure.

Up until now, there have been two primary categories of laser skin treatment: ablative laser resurfacing and nonablative laser or light-based therapy, each with their pros and cons. Ablative techniques regenerate aging and sun-damaged skin with superior cosmetic results, but are associated with significant side effects, risks and prolonged healing and recovery times. Nonablative techniques, on the other hand, generally carry fewer risks but require numerous treatments over several months, producing only limited clinical results of cosmetic improvement.

Patient Benefits Fraxel offers the benefits of speedy healing and no downtime. Side effects are minimal and typically involve swelling and redness. Mild swelling should subside within a day or so, and the redness usually fades over several days. Patients can apply make-up immediately after treatment and return to routine activities. There is limited, if any, risk of infection or scarring. No oozing or crusting has been observed.

A Typical Treatment After cleansing with a mild scrub cleanser, an FDA certified blue tint (OptiGuide Blue) is applied to the skin. Then, a topical anesthetic ointment is applied to the treatment area. The blue tint darkens the tiny folds of the skin surface to increase contrast and allow the robotic hand piece to precisely read the discreet contours of the treatment area. Similar to the optical mouse for your computer, the robotic hand piece glides across the skin like a contact airbrush painting the face, which has been turned into a mouse pad via the blue tint.
The anesthetic requires about 45 minutes to take full effect. The treatment is then performed using the lipid base anesthetic ointment as the contact lubricant. The blue tint and anesthetic is washed off immediately after treatment. A treatment typically will take approximately 30 minutes.
