Fraxel Dual Q&A

What is Fraxel DUAL?

Fraxel Dual is a noninvasive, fractional laser treatment that targets a variety of skin concerns. The technology uses two wavelengths — 1550nm for deeper skin issues and 1927nm for more superficial ones — allowing it to address both surface-level and deeper skin conditions.

Fraxel DUAL stimulates collagen production and promotes skin cell turnover, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin. This treatment is popular if you’re seeking to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance with minimal downtime.

What aesthetic issues can Fraxel DUAL address?

Fraxel DUAL is highly effective for a range of aesthetic concerns, making it a versatile solution for many skin issues. The laser can treat:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Pigmentation problems, including melasma and hyperpigmentation
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Large pores
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Actinic keratosis (precancerous skin lesions)

Fraxel DUAL’s dual-wavelength technology allows it to treat deep-seated skin issues and more superficial concerns, making it an all-encompassing treatment for skin rejuvenation.

What can I expect during a Fraxel DUAL treatment?

During a Fraxel DUAL treatment, your practitioner cleanses your skin and may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Next, they pass the laser over the targeted areas of your skin.

Most patients describe the sensation as a slight prickling or heat, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Sessions typically last 20-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

After the session, you may experience redness, swelling, and peeling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn.

When will I see the results of my Fraxel DUAL treatment?

You should notice improvements in your skin within a week as the redness subsides and your skin starts to renew itself. Full results typically become visible after 2-3 months as collagen production improves skin texture and tone.

Your Manhattan Dermatology specialist may recommend a series of treatments to achieve the best results. The lasting effects can be seen for months or even years with proper skin care.
