Hand Rejuvenation With Fraxel Laser on the Rise

    LA JOLLA, CA, May 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fractional laser treatments are not just for the face anymore. Many people are discovering a quick, easy way to have younger-looking hands using Fraxel, San Diego dermatologist Dr. Susan Stuart says.

"Many people who come to my office are familiar with what Fraxel can do to improve the skin on their faces, but when I suggest using it on their hands to improve wrinkles and age spots, they are typically surprised," Dr. Stuart says. "Fraxel can provide the same benefits for sun-damaged skin on the backs of your hands."

She says many people become so focused on taking good care of their faces that they forget to look at the big picture.

"We've all seen them," she says, "the women who have worked hard to maintain their youthful-looking faces. But then you look down at their hands, and their true age is revealed."

Dr. Stuart often recommends Fraxel treatment for the hands to "help complete the picture," she says.

One of San Diego's renowned leaders in the use of lasers for skin treatment, Dr. Stuart has worked with several internationally known dermatologists and laser specialists.

She also stresses the importance of good skin care, in San Diego in particular.

"We're outside in the sun a lot," she says. "We're not sitting at home during dark, cloudy winters that shield our skin from damaging rays. We're in the sun year round, so the aging effects of the sun add up faster than they do in other climates."

Dr. Stuart has designed her San Diego dermatology practice with the specific needs of the Southern California lifestyle in mind. In addition to leading-edge laser technology and a variety of designer facial treatments, she offers a full range of injectables and fillers, including BOTOX . San Diego men and women also come to her practice for their medical dermatological needs, including skin cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Susan M. Stuart is a board-certified dermatologist offering laser skin care, skin cancer therapies, laser hair removal and other skin rejuvenating procedures alongside her husband and practice partner, triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Chaffoo. After receiving her medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine, Dr. Stuart completed an internship at Mercy Hospital Center in San Diego, followed by a residency and a fellowship in dermatology. Dr. Stuart is highly respected as a faculty member at UCSD Medical Center, has held numerous prestigious professional appointments, and has been selected as one of America's Top Physicians in dermatology.
