How Does Fraxel Dual Laser Work?

Using Laser Light For Resurfacing

The Fraxel Dual Laser, an FDA-Cleared device, uses microscopic columns of light energy to trigger your body's natural healing process, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, healthy-looking skin.

Designed To Target Damaged Skin

Its unique fractional technology is designed to target damaged skin while leaving healthy tissue intact, supporting faster healing than traditional ablative CO2 lasers.

With two distinct wavelengths, Fraxel Dual Laser offers versatile and effective skin resurfacing for a range of concerns.

Tailored Fraxel Treatment
As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Allison Goddard personally creates every Fraxel treatment plan to ensure the settings are right for your skin type, concerns, and safety. Every cosmetic dermatology treatment also includes the benefit of her extensive medical dermatology experience. Dr. Goddard will let you know whether Fraxel is truly the right choice for you and your desired appearance goals.

Good to know

Results appear over time. Fraxel works with your body's natural healing cycle, with the most significant results developing over 2-3 months.

A series of treatments is often best. While one treatment helps, most patients choose a series of 3-5 treatments for their desired outcome.

Sunscreen is your shield. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is critical to protect your new skin and your investment.

It's a medical procedure. Like any medical procedure, Fraxel has risks, which Dr. Goddard will discuss with you in full during your consultation.

Common Questions

Does Fraxel hurt?

We apply a strong topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment very well.

How much does Fraxel cost?

The cost depends on the areas being treated. We will provide a precise quote during your personal Cosmetic Consultation.

What is the downtime really like?

Expect 2-3 days of redness and some swelling. After that, your skin may feel rough and peel for several days. Most patients feel comfortable returning to public activities after 3-4 days.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on your goals. For mild concerns, 1-2 treatments may be enough. For deeper lines or acne scarring, 3-5 treatments are typically recommended.

Am I a good candidate?

Fraxel is safe for many skin types. A consultation with Dr. Goddard is the best way to find out for sure.

When is the best time of year for Fraxel?

Because avoiding sun exposure after treatment is crucial, most patients choose to get Fraxel during the fall and winter.

Why don’t you guarantee a specific result?

That’s part of our commitment to honesty and transparency. Fraxel Dual Laser treatments and results are highly personalized, and no two people are exactly the same. That’s why the initial Cosmetic Consultation is so important. We discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate the spots you’d like treated, and then design a personalized treatment plan if you’re a good candidate for it.
