Fraxel DUAL Laser Treatment: Revitalize Aging and Sun-Damaged Skin Fraxel DUAL laser therapy targets aging and sun damage by delivering microscopic laser columns deep into the skin, accelerating your body’s natural collagen remodeling process. Pricing reflects a full-face treatment.
Ablative vs. Non-Ablative Lasers Cosmetic laser treatments generally fall into two categories: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers remove the outer skin layers by vaporizing tissue, producing dramatic results but often involving significant side effects and extended recovery times. Non-ablative lasers, on the other hand, work beneath the skin surface without removing tissue, offering fewer side effects and shorter downtime but usually requiring multiple sessions for subtle improvements.
Fraxel combines the strengths of both approaches—offering the effectiveness of ablative lasers with the gentleness and quicker recovery of non-ablative treatments. The Fraxel product line includes three different therapies, all designed to deliver impressive results safely and with minimal downtime.
Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Overview This non-ablative laser treatment is effective for mild to severe skin damage. Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 uses targeted microscopic laser columns to stimulate collagen production by penetrating deep into the skin. Because only a fraction of tissue is treated at once, the surrounding healthy skin promotes rapid healing. The treatment resurfaces your skin by encouraging the regeneration of fresh, healthy cells from within.
Recovery is generally straightforward. Treated areas may appear slightly pink and swollen for 1 to 2 days. Most patients can resume normal activities and work the next day, but allowing 2 to 3 days for healing is recommended (e.g., treatment on Friday, ready for work by Monday). Post-treatment sun protection is critical—always apply sunscreen to protect your skin.
