Fraxel Dual
What is Fraxel?
Fraxel DUAL is a non-ablative fractionated laser that stimulates collagen growth in the skin resulting in a healthy glow, smoother texture, and improved appearance. The laser energy creates microscopic laser columns, which produces a wound healing response without injuring the skin surface, allowing for a faster recovery time, typically 1-3 days. A series of non-ablative laser treatments can improve fine lines, mottled pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and more.
How does the laser work?
The Fraxel DUAL laser is a combination of two wavelengths. The first is the 1550 nm (nanometer) wavelength, which is designed to penetrate deeply into the skin to target acne scarring and moderate wrinkles. The second is the 1927 nm wavelength targeting brown spots, texture, and superficial signs of aging located closer to the surface of the skin. The treatment areas can include the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and back.
Who is a candidate?
Individuals who are looking to address skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and surgical scars, sun damage, pigmentation, pigmented lesions, sun spots and age spots, and actinic keratosis (AK) can often benefit from Fraxel Dual treatments. This treatment is also safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones.
What should I expect?
Patients typically can expect to see improvement in their skin tone and texture within 3 days of treatment. Many individuals report that their skin feels softer and smoother while appearing brighter and more even. Continued enhancement should occur over the course of three to six months within the deeper layers of skin, commonly providing long-lasting results when combined with a beneficial skincare regimen.
