Anyone heard before about Zone Company for Trade? Well, Zone is a company set up primarily for the purpose of illustrating the latest methods of Aesthetic products for Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Nutrition, Vascular and Anti–aging such as FRAXEL, THERMAGE, ISOLAZ and CLEAR+BRILLIANT.
We sat down with one of the best Dermatologists in Egypt, Dr. Mohamed Kheiralla and talked to him about the revolutionary fractional laser treatment FRAXEL. Let’s see what he told us.
Dr. Mohamed, could you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Dr. Mohamed Mongy Kheiralla. I graduated from Cairo University in 2004. I hold a Masters Degree in dermatology, Masters Degree in Hospital Management from the AUC. I am a member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, and the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery. I am specialized in facial anti-aging and laser procedures.
What does Fraxel treat?
Fraxel is FDA to clear various skin conditions including melasma, age spots, freckles, peri-orbital wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, acne scars, injury scars, and also markedly improve stretch marks. In addition, the Fraxel DUAL treats also precancerous skin lesions and vascular dyschromias.
What does the actual Fraxel procedure entail?
First, I want to be clear that FRAXEL is a brand name that invented fractional laser technology and not like any other lasers as some people might claim. The laser hand piece moves on the skin in a paintbrush like motion. Thereby millions of microscopic injuries are deployed on the skin that when healed, stimulate collagen type III production, and also kick out the dark pigmentation from the surface of the skin.
How long does it take to see results? How many treatments are needed?
With the new Fraxel DUAL, results are achieved from the first session for superficial conditions. Deeper or more complicated conditions might need more sessions up to 4-5 sessions separated a month apart. The improvement appear immediately and start to enhance to a maximum when all new collagen production process is completed, a process that could take up to 90 days. Then you can enjoy your look for many years to follow.
When can patients return to their normal activities?
Patients can return to their normal activities within 3-4 days or can apply cover up make up and return the very next day! That’s the beauty of Fraxel!
How much does a session cost? Is it affordable for everyone?
Although laser and aesthetic procedures are not included in medical insurance coverage plans, as doctors we find it to be our responsibility to setup financial plans and tailored treatment packages to decrease costs of such amazing procedures. A Fraxel laser session can start as low as 350 US$ per session and increases according to treatment area coverage.
