The innovative Fraxel Dual Laser utilizes two distinct wavelengths based on the patient's dermatological concerns: the 1550 nm Erbium fiber laser and the 1927 nm Thulium fiber laser. This integrated system operates simultaneously at both deep dermal and superficial epidermal levels, addressing dermal restructuring and epidermal imperfections (dyschromia, actinic keratosis).
Fraxel Dual Laser treatment is optimal for patients seeking cutaneous regeneration to repair chrono and photo-aging damage in various body areas. The fractional laser treatment is particularly effective for rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands. It can complement or consolidate results from other treatments such as peeling, fillers, revitalization, or surgical procedures like lifting, blepharoplasty, and Lipogems. Additionally, it proves highly effective in reducing post-acne scarring, improving skin texture, and minimizing enlarged pores.
Following a thorough patient assessment and skin analysis, the physician determines which wavelength(s) to utilize. A topical anesthetic is applied pre-treatment to minimize patient discomfort during laser emission. Post-treatment, patients may experience mild burning sensation similar to sunburn, typically subsiding within two hours. Skin remodeling begins 24 hours post-treatment, characterized by increased tensile strength (tightening effect) and initiation of collagen fiber production.
Unlike ablative resurfacing lasers, Fraxel laser delivers powerful stimulation with minimal post-treatment sequelae (erythema, moderate edema), resolving within days. Strict adherence to physician guidelines is crucial during the healing phase to prevent adverse effects. Post-treatment care includes applying high-factor sunscreen (SPF 50+) twice daily and maintaining adequate hydration. Initial healing reveals immediately improved skin texture and luminosity. Phenotypic changes develop over 3-6 months, proportional to the number of treatments received. Clinical studies indicate a minimum of 3-4 treatments at 15-30 day intervals, depending on the condition being treated.
