Advanced Dual-Wavelength Technology
The Fraxel Dual combines two different wavelengths to address skin rejuvenation. The Erbium 1550 nm wavelength stimulates the fibroblasts responsible for the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastic fibers. This wavelength is effective in addressing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as uneven skin tone and texture. The second wavelength is the Thulium 1927 nm. The Thulium targets troublesome pigmented areas, making it an excellent choice for brown spots. This laser also addresses fine lines and other signs of sun damage.

Comfortable Treatment Experience
A Fraxel Dual treatment is relatively quick and comfortable, thanks to topical numbing cream that is applied before the procedure. A handheld applicator is moved across the skin’s surface to deliver laser energy into the skin. Multiple passes ensure the skin is treated evenly to produce a consistent result. Integrated cooling keeps the skin at a comfortable level throughout the treatment.
Minimal Downtime with Maximum Results
Recovery after a Fraxel Dual treatment typically involves redness and swelling during the first 2-3 days, followed by 2-3 days of skin flaking. You may want to take 2-3 days of social downtime until the appearance of your skin improves, although this varies from patient to patient. We will recommend professional skincare products to use at home that will promote healing and enhance your results.
Long-Lasting Results
One treatment can result in noticeably clearer skin within 7-10 days, although improvements will likely continue for 3-6 months. The duration of your results depends on your specific concerns, goals, and skincare routine. Most patients enjoy rejuvenated skin for several years after a Fraxel Dual treatment. Some patients also find that a second treatment further enhances the results and can be performed as early as 4 weeks after the first session.
