South Shore Skin Center to Offer New Industry Leading Laser Treatment

South Shore Skin Center, one of the most progressive practices for medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology in Massachusetts, now offers innovative Fraxel re:store DUAL wavelength laser treatments. South Shore Skin Center is the only dermatology office south of Boston that offers this industry leading treatment.

Three board certified dermatologists at South Shore Skin Center – Dr. Emily Tierney, Dr. Katherine Ayers and Dr. Richard Eisen – are experts in Fraxel re:Store DUAL and will treat patients with this state-of-the-art treatment. The benefits of utilizing this treatment, which has two wavelengths, include predictable and uniform results; the ability to treat larger areas; an accelerated clearance of pigment; faster treatment times and a more comfortable procedure for patients.

According to Dr. Richard Eisen, “Fraxel re:store DUAL wavelength is a non-ablative procedure that better addresses pigmentation changes anywhere on the body, on any skin type, comfortably, safely and with minimal downtime.”

South Shore Skin Center is the only office on the on the South Shore to offer two fractionated laser technologies – Fraxel re:store DUAL and Fraxel re:pair. Fraxel re:store, which is the Gold Standard for non-ablative skin resurfacing, is best for general resurfacing on the face, neck, chest and hands. It effectively treats a number of skin conditions and also reduces the appearance of acne scarring and surgical scars. Fraxel re:pair is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that is ideal for resurfacing soft tissues; improving pigmentation; eliminating redness and broken blood vessels and smoothing wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around the eyes.

To schedule a consultation with one of South Shore Skin Center’s Fraxel laser experts, contact (508) 747-0711.
