If you’re looking to dramatically improve your skin’s texture, tone, and clarity without surgery, the Fraxel® Dual Laser offers advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing with proven results. At Modern Dermatology, we use the power of Fraxel to treat fine lines, sun damage, scarring, and more—safely and effectively.
What Is Fraxel® Dual?
Fraxel® Dual is a fractional, non-ablative laser treatment that targets both the deeper dermal layers and the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen, resurface the skin, and promote long-term skin renewal.
It combines two wavelengths for maximum versatility:
- 1550 nm – Penetrates deeply to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and acne or surgical scars
- 1927 nm – Targets more superficial concerns like pigmentation, sun damage, and actinic keratoses
Together, these wavelengths allow for a comprehensive treatment that addresses multiple layers of skin in one session.
What Can Fraxel Treat?
Fraxel Dual is FDA-cleared for the treatment of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes)
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Melasma (with caution)
- Actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions)
- Stretch marks
It’s safe for use on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other sun-exposed areas.
How Does It Work?
The Fraxel laser creates controlled micro-injuries—tiny “columns” of heat—beneath the skin’s surface. These stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and the replacement of damaged skin cells with healthy new tissue.
Because it only treats a fraction of the skin at a time, recovery is faster and more comfortable compared to fully ablative lasers.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation – Your provider will assess your skin and create a personalized plan.
- Preparation – A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
- Treatment – Sessions typically last 20–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
- Post-Treatment – You’ll experience a mild sunburn-like sensation, redness, and swelling for a few days. Peeling and bronzing are common as your skin renews.
Downtime & Results
- Redness and swelling usually subside within 3–7 days.
- Most patients require 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
- Results are gradual and improve over weeks to months as collagen rebuilds.
- Long-lasting improvements in skin tone, texture, and radiance can be achieved.
