6 Ways Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment Transforms Your Skin
The natural aging process and sun exposure can take a huge toll on your skin. Fortunately, Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment at Apex Dermatology can help reverse many of those changes. This treatment works by creating microscopic injuries that trigger natural healing and collagen growth. Because Fraxel laser skin treatment is so targeted, it improves your skin’s texture, tone, and firmness with minimal discomfort and a few days downtime.
1. Experience Precision Skin Rejuvenation with Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment
When you want smoother, clearer skin, Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment can help you get there. This advanced treatment works beneath the surface to repair damaged skin and encourage new cell growth. Because Fraxel laser skin treatment targets fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture, it can leave your skin looking refreshed and youthful.
Fraxel Dual Laser targets only the areas that need treatment. The dual approach works on surface damage, while also reaching deep layers to stimulate collagen. This means your skin looks healthier without looking like you’ve had “work done.” It’s precise, gentle, and ideal for busy people who want natural looking results and healthy rejuvenated skin.
2. Addresses a Wide Range of Skin Concerns
How can Fraxel Dual Laser treatment help you? This treatment works on the face and the body. Conditions like sunspots, enlarged pores, wrinkles, crepiness, sallow skin and Actinic Keratosis respond well to Fraxel’s targeted energy. This innovative treatment also addresses a wide variety of skin issues.
- Treats wrinkles
- Helps with scars
- Stretch marks reduced
- Pigmentation problems solved
- Improve damage caused by too much sun exposure
- Reduce and remove precancerous cells (actinic keratoses) with a series of treatments.
3. A Comfortable Treatment Process
First, a layer of pre-numbing ointment is placed on the skin for a period in office. After than is cleansed off, and during treatment cold air blown at the laser tip on your skin enhances comfort. You may feel a prickly or warm sensation, but it’s not painful. For those who want even more sensation reduction, we offer the very safe Pronox for a breathing treatment that makes the treatment even more comfortable. Pronox is nitrous gas mixed 50:50 with oxygen. It wears off within 5 minutes and you can drive after 10 minutes. People enjoy it’s benefits not only in Dermatology and Plastics but also in Pediatrics, OB/GYN and the ER. Fraxel sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment zone planned. The entire time, advanced cooling devices keep your skin comfortable. We ensure each visit to Apex Dermatology feels calm and reassuring from start to finish.
4. Quick Recovery and Visible Results
After treatment, you can expect some redness and swelling. This fades in a few days. Then your skin starts to shed, a positive sign. If the energy used was all about deep collagen building (1550nm) then the skin feels like sandpaper for a few days and up to a week on the face, up to two weeks on the body. If the energy used was all about superficial fine lines, pore size, brown spots or precancers, there will be little “coffee grounds” and tiny spots all over lifting up and shedding off over 2-6 days on the face and 2-14 days on the body. For a Fraxel Dual treatment where we blend both laser energies to achieve positive changes in both layers in one treatment, one will have a combination of these healing effects. New, healthier skin replaces old, damaged cells. Within a week, your skin texture feels smoother. And over time, results keep improving as collagen builds naturally.
5. Benefit from Long-Term Skin Health Maintenance
For the best results, we may recommend a series of treatments. Annual maintenance sessions keep your skin healthy and youthful. Fraxel Dual laser treatment works well as part of your overall skin care plan. It helps your skin stay firm and clear year after year.
6. Tailored Treatment for Every Skin Type
Fraxel Dual laser works on many skin types. Each treatment is personalized to fit your needs. And most importantly, the team at Apex Dermatology ensures that every session is safe and effective. With this approach, your results match your goals without risking your skin’s health.
