Skin treatment with Fraxel Dual is one of the latest skin rejuvenation technologies. The Fraxel Dual system stimulates damaged skin cells to produce collagen and epithelial tissue using laser technology.

Fraxel Dual, also known as a carbon dioxide laser, is highly effective in treating acne scars, sun spots, and other skin imperfections. The fractional laser also shows a high success rate in the treatment of stretch marks and wrinkles.

How Does Fraxel Dual Work?

Today, there are many successful medical aesthetic treatments. However, some patients do not prefer injection-based procedures such as fillers or botox. For these patients, Fraxel Dual offers a much more satisfactory alternative.

There are two types of Fraxel Dual devices: Erbium and Carbon Dioxide. The carbon dioxide laser is used more frequently because it provides a faster and more comfortable healing process.

Fraxel Dual creates controlled micro-damage in the subcutaneous tissue and activates the natural repair mechanisms of the surrounding healthy skin cells. After the treatment, skin renewal occurs in two different ways:

• skin renewal through peeling processes;
• skin renewal through the formation of new blood vessels.

Fraxel Dual Can Be Used For

• skin blemish treatment;
• aging spots (hyperpigmentation);
• acne and scar treatment;
• pore treatment;
• vascular treatment;
• wrinkle treatment;
• stretch mark treatment.

The duration of Fraxel Dual treatment and the number of sessions vary depending on the treatment area. Typically, 2–4 sessions are performed at intervals of 4–6 weeks.

Since Fraxel Dual provides controlled tissue damage and triggers controlled healing in response, the more frequently the procedure is repeated, the faster skin deformities are reduced.

Are There Any Risks or Complications with Fraxel Dual Treatment?

Fraxel Dual is a very popular skin treatment because it is non-surgical and painless, does not affect facial expressions, and provides long-lasting results. As it is a non-invasive procedure, it does not involve serious risks or complications.

The most important consideration after treatment is proper sun protection. Even with the use of high-SPF sunscreens, laser treatments are not recommended during summer. Autumn and winter are more suitable seasons for fractional laser treatments.

After the procedure, redness and scabbing may occur for a few days. These scabs fall off naturally over time. Regardless of the season, regular use of sunscreen should not be interrupted.
