The Fraxel® DUAL
The Fraxel® DUAL treatment uses patented fractional technology to target damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin. The Fraxel® DUAL uses two wavelengths so it can treat skin both superficially and in its deeper layers. Because it is like two lasers in one, this technology allows Dr. V to treat a plethora of skin conditions and problems. Patients (30s-40s) with fine lines and mild sun damage as well as patients (50s-60s) who have deeper wrinkles and more severe sun damage will benefit from Fraxel® DUAL laser treatments. The Fraxel® DUAL laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time (leaving the surrounding tissue intact) and this promotes rapid healing because it stimulates your body’s own natural healing process to replace old cells with healthy skin.

The Fraxel Dual Procedure
Dr. V will tailor your Fraxel® program to meet your individual expectations and the number of treatments you need will depend on your overall goals and lifestyle. Although you will see a difference after only one session, clinical studies suggest that on average an effective treatment regimen is 3-5 sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. Results are immediate and progressive with the optimal outcome visible in six months and how long your improvements last is dependent on how you care for your new skin. You will be given instructions on how to best protect your skin and carefully following Dr. V’s guidelines will help maintain your youthful look.
