Fraxel ReStore: Advanced Laser Skin Science
Dr. Johnson is the first physician in the DFW Metroplex to have the newest 2009 generation Fraxel Re:Store technology.
In the past, laser resurfacing meant long recovery periods and pain, for good results. Today, new technologies allow physicians to treat the same skin faster, with very little downtime, and minimal pain.
In 2001, a team of Fraxel engineers, researchers and scientists pioneered a laser skin science called fractional photothermolysis. This approach to skin resurfacing, when combined with Fraxel’s advanced technological intelligence or SmartXide Dot Therapy, delivers efficacy and safety. For patients, that means remarkable results and minimal downtime – which simply didn’t exist before Fraxel.
Which fractionated laser treatment is right for you?
Fraxel and SmartXide Dot treatment safely and effectively removes years from your appearance – so you get renewed skin and renewed confidence. But how do you choose the best fractionated laser treatment for your skin condition? What’s the best option for your lifestyle?
Both fractionated laser treatments use fractional technology to heal your skin from the inside out, but they have different levels of intensity. Use the chart below to see which procedure may be best for you.

Great skin shouldn't be a full-time job
You want to protect it, and you know that treating the first signs of aging now will pay off later. But, frankly, you don’t have the luxury of time for complex procedures and long recoveries. Fraxel Re:Store is the perfect option for the patient that wants great looking skin now and in the future, but doesn't want to take off work to do it.
Fraxel Re:store treatment was designed to fit your lifestyle by rejuvenating your skin safely, effectively and quickly. So you can get a treatment, and immediately return to work or other activities. By stimulating the growth of new collagen from the inside out, Fraxel Re:store and SmartXide Dot Therapy can help eliminate dark spots and actually prevent fine lines from appearing.
