The Fraxel® Dual Laser is a revolutionary non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser that's expertly designed to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your skin. It employs two distinct laser wavelengths, specifically the 1550nm and the 1927nm, to target and address various skin concerns.

This cutting-edge technology is highly effective in treating issues like pigmentation problems, freckles, age spots, and lesions resulting from sun damage. As the laser reaches the deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin.

How It Operates

Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area 40 minutes prior to the procedure. The laser device is then carefully maneuvered over the targeted area, delivering precise fractional microbeams of laser energy into the skin. This process creates tiny controlled columns of injury, triggering the skin's innate healing process. This, in turn, encourages the production of collagen, leading to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and the resolution of other skin concerns.

The two distinct wavelengths of the Fraxel® Dual Laser are tailored to address specific skin concerns. The 1550nm wavelength penetrates deep into the skin, effectively addressing issues like acne scarring and uneven skin texture. Meanwhile, the 1927nm wavelength focuses on the skin's surface, effectively treating pigmentation irregularities and sun damage.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Fraxel® Restore Dual is an advanced non-ablative fractional laser that combines two wavelengths—1550 nm and 1927 nm—to address both deeper textural concerns and more superficial pigmentation. It is designed to improve sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines, enlarged pores and selected scars, while allowing a shorter recovery than more intensive resurfacing lasers.

Medical Disclaimer

Fraxel® Restore Dual is a medical laser treatment and is not suitable for every patient. Individual results vary according to skin type, degree of pigmentation, sun damage, scarring and the body's healing response. The information provided is intended as a general guide only and does not replace an individual consultation or medical advice.

All laser treatments carry potential risks, including redness, swelling, infection, cold sore reactivation, pigment change, prolonged redness, delayed healing and, rarely, scarring. These may be greater in darker skin types, patients with active skin conditions, a history of abnormal scarring, recent sun exposure or certain medications.

A comprehensive assessment is essential before treatment to determine whether Fraxel® Restore Dual is appropriate and whether alternative or combination treatments may provide a better result. Fraxel® Restore Dual should only be performed within an appropriately qualified, medically directed environment with practitioners experienced in laser medicine and access to appropriate aftercare and complication management.
