New York,
NY - May
9, 2005 --
Cameron
Rokhsar,
MD,
presented
the first
report of
the
treatment
of acne
scars
using the
Fraxel™
Laser, the
newest
generation
of
noninvasive
fractional
resurfacing
technology.
Acne scars
are an all
too common
sequel to
acne. In
the past,
the most
effective
procedure
for acne
scars was
carbon
dioxide
resurfacing
known as
CO2
resurfacing
or deep
chemical
peels,
both of
which
required a
minimum of
two weeks
downtime
while the
raw skin
healed.
Dr.
Rokhsar
presented
his study
results at
the 25th
Annual
Meeting of
American
Society of
Laser
Medicine
and
Surgery (ASLMS)
held in
Orlando,
Florida,
last
month. He
reported
that 50%
of his
subjects
experienced
significant
improvement
in the
texture,
color and
overall
appearance
of their
acne
scars,
while 80%
of study
patients
reported
at least
moderate
improvement
in their
acne
scars.
“This
improvement
is
revolutionary
because it
is the
most
significant
positive
response
we have
ever been
able to
achieve
using a
non-abrasive,
minimal
downtime
procedure,”
said Dr.
Rokhsar, a
board-certified
dermatologist
who
pioneered
the
science of
fractional
resurfacing
which is
the
scientific
underpinning
of the
Fraxel
laser
treatment
(FLT).
Other key
advantages
of Fraxel
Laser
Treatment
(FLT) are:
*No
general
anesthesia
– FLT is
well
tolerated
with a
topical
anesthetic
*Convenience
– the
procedure
takes
about 30
minutes in
the
doctor’s
office
*Excellent
safety
profile
Dr.
Rokhsar
devoted
most of
the past
year to
refining
and
developing
applications
for Fraxel
laser
technology
and is
considered
one of the
world’s
most
experienced
physicians
on
clinical
effects of
this
breakthrough
laser
technology.
He was one
of the
first to
introduce
Fraxel
laser
treatment
to the
aesthetic
medical
community
at recent
national
meetings
and has
trained
numerous
physicians
on the
techniques
and
parameters
used for
FLT. He
has been a
featured
speaker on
this
subject at
scientific
meetings
of the
American
Society
for
Dermatologic
Surgery,
American
Academy of
Cosmetic
Surgery,
the ASLMS
and
Australian
Academy of
Cosmetic
Surgery.
Fraxel
Laser
Treatment
also
improves
wrinkles
and
photodamage
and as
well as
uneven
pigmentation
such as
age spots
and sun
spots on
the face,
neck,
chest and
hands. In
another
study on
wrinkles
and
photodamage,
Dr.
Rokhsar
reported
at ASLMS
that 73%
of the
subjects
noted
marked to
significant
improvement
in overall
appearance,
while 60%
of the
subjects
observed
improvement
in skin
texture as
75-100%
improved.
“The
results we
have seen
for acne
scars,
wrinkles
and
photodamage
are
remarkable.
There is
no other
laser that
can
achieve
such
dramatic
benefits
with
virtually
no risks
or
interruption
to
patients’
routine
activities,"
adds Dr.
Rokhsar.
Dr.
Rokhsar is
a
board-certified
dermatologist
with a
special
interest
in
cosmetic
dermatology
and
surgery.
After
graduating
from
Harvard
University,
he
attended
New York
University
School of
Medicine
where he
received
his
doctorate
in
medicine.
After his
internship
at Lenox
Hill
Hospital
in New
York City,
Dr.
Rokhsar
completed
his
dermatology
residency
at the
Albert
EinSitein
College of
Medicine
in New
York City
where he
was
honored
for his
teaching
and
leadership
skills as
Chief
Resident.
Dr.
Rokhsar
went on to
receive
fellowship
training
in
cosmetic,
laser and
