Fraxel Dual

What is the Fraxel Dual?

For fresh, bright and tightened skin, the Fraxel Dualis the perfect resurfacing laser for you!  The Fraxel Dual is two lasers in one: a 1927nm wavelength, which allows us to treat the skin superficially, and the 1550nm wavelength intended for skin texture targeting.  The components are used simultaneously or separately and depend on your specific skin care needs.

The Fraxel laser is a precise method of repairing the skin, penetrating deep into the tissue without affecting undesired areas.  Every treatment will target a predetermined percentage of the skin, so a series of treatments is often necessary to achieve the ultimate results.

Fraxel Dual is effective on:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles – like crow’s feet and brow lines
  • Surface scarring – erasing effects of acne and other scarring
  • Pigmentation – minimizing the appearance of age spots
  • Sun damage – helping heal dangerous skin damage
  • Actinic Keratosis – a common pre-cancerous skin condition

What is the difference between the Fraxel and Fraxel Dual?

To put it simply, the Fraxel Dual skin resurfacing treatment is more effective in its utilization for brown spots and excess pigmentation than the Fraxel.  Additionally, the improvements made with the advancements in technology to the tip of the laser, the Fraxel Dual is a better skin resurfacing treatment for large areas of skin like the back, chest, arms, and legs.

How does Fraxel Dual work?

Fraxel Dual has two wavelengths that can be utilized in the same treatment, allowing for a more comprehensive treatment that can address multiple skin concerns at once. It is especially good for treating dark spots on the skin, whether age spots or hyperpigmentation.  Dark spots tend to show up on the skin as we age as a result of sun exposure, and can make us look older than we really are.  Fraxel Dual is a good way to lighten those dark spots and achieve a smoother, brighter, more youthful complexion.

Fraxel Dual utilizes fractional laser technology to stimulate collagen production and promote new skin growth without damaging surrounding tissue.  It can be used all over the body, not just on the face. If you want to rejuvenate your chest or reduce the appearance of stretch marks, Fraxel Dual can help.
