The Fraxel Dual laser is a non-ablative laser that can address skin issues including age spots, skin discoloration, acne scars, fine lines, and textural changes.
Multiple treatments allow patient to obtain significant improvement without the downtime associated with ablative laser resurfacing used more often in the past
For color improvement, we recommend 1-3 treatments spaced no frequently than 4 weeks apart. For fine lines, textural irregularities, and acne scarring, we recommend 3-5 treatments spaced at least 4 weeks apart. Improvement in discoloration can be seen 3-4 weeks after treatment. Improvement in texture is more gradual and may be best assessed 6 months after treatment.
While the Fraxel Dual comes with a little more downtime than Clear and Brilliant, it also can accomplish more in one session that Clear and Brilliant.
