What is the Fraxel DUAL Laser

Fraxel Dual is an advanced non-ablative fractional resurfacing technology featuring two distinct wavelengths (1550nm and 1927nm). Like other lasers, it targets water in the dermis, gently heating it to induce controlled thermal tissue damage. This process generates microscopic columns of tissue injury, penetrating deep into the skin and stimulating collagen production for natural healing. The dual wavelengths enable the laser to address both superficial and deeper layers of the skin, treating specific areas with precision while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. As a fractional laser, it minimizes downtime compared to ablative lasers, delivering effective results.

These treatments, known as skin resurfacing or rejuvenation, promote the growth of new cells and enhance skin texture by boosting natural collagen production, resulting in smoother and plumper skin.


What Can the Fraxel DUAL Laser Treat?

The Fraxel DUAL laser is renowned for improving skin tone, texture, and radiance. It effectively addresses various skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Brown spots and age spots
  • Sun damage
  • Surgical scars
  • Acne scars
  • FDA-cleared for melasma and actinic keratosis

The benefits of Fraxel DUAL treatment include smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime and a lower risk of side effects compared to ablative lasers. Immediate benefits are often visible, with continued improvement over the following six months.

What to Expect on Treatment Day

Patients often report minimal pain, as topical numbing is applied before the procedure. The Fraxel DUAL laser’s tunable nature allows heat delivery customization and a cooling application further enhances comfort. Treatment duration varies based on the area and condition being addressed.

After Your Treatment

Downtime for this type of treatment is minimal. Immediately after your treatment, your skin may feel as if you have a sunburn. It may feel extra dry and itchy, so use a mild cleanser and a heavy moisturizer to keep your skin happy. Your Dermatology Provider can recommend products for your specific skin type if you need help with that. Of course, each patient is different in terms of how they heal, but we recommend giving yourself one whole week to recover.

Long-Term Results of the Fraxel DUAL Laser Treatment

Given its fractional nature, multiple treatments may be necessary, usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Optimal results are often achieved after three treatments, with immediate and continued improvement over six months. Results can last a year or more with good skin care and daily sunscreen use.
