The Fraxel Dual fractional laser is a non-ablative skin resurfacing laser that can address many skin concerns, such as skin laxity, skin discoloration, and lesions, as well as wrinkles around the eyes, acne scars, and surgical scars. This highly versatile tool allows Dr. Krant to treat any and all of your skin concerns while simultaneously stimulating skin and collagen from the inside out.
How does Fraxel Restore Dual Work?
The Fraxel Restore laser provides a wide array of treatment options to address many forms of aging, customized to each patient’s needs and concerns. It’s the perfect solution for people who want their skin to look younger. Fraxel has two different wavelengths (1927 nm and 1550 nm) for dual benefits during treatment. One wavelength is used to break up abnormal pigments to clear brown spots or patches as well as sun spots, with minimal collagen building. The other goes deeper to improve skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles as well as helping scar tissue improve by stimulating the skin’s natural production of collagen a bit more.
Fraxel’s proven laser technology can help reverse the visible effects of aging, helping you look as young as you feel without the need for surgery or injections. Dr. Jessica Krant utilizes the non-ablative Fraxel Dual lasers for a variety of skin concerns including wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and other scars, unwanted pigmentation, and melasma. Non-ablative means that this treatment does not remove any layers of skin, rather creating microscopically heated channels in the skin that the body quickly heals by building collagen and generating new, fresh skin cells.
What is Fraxel effective on?
- Fine lines and wrinkles – like crow’s feet and frown lines
- Surface scarring – improving the appearance of acne and other scarring
- Pigmentation – reducing the appearance of age spots
- Sun damage – helping heal skin damage and sun spots
- Actinic Keratosis (AK) – a common pre-cancerous skin condition. Fraxel is a cosmetic treatment but has been unofficially shown to help reduce the burden of precancerous cells during cosmetic treatments.
