What Is the Fraxel® Dual Laser?
The Fraxel® Dual is a non-ablative fractional laser system, meaning it treats microscopic zones of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This stimulates natural collagen remodeling and skin renewal without damaging the entire surface layer.
The system combines two laser wavelengths (1550 nm and 1927 nm) to target multiple layers of skin simultaneously:
- 1550 nm wavelength: Penetrates deeper layers to improve wrinkles, scars, and texture.
- 1927 nm wavelength: Treats surface pigmentation, brown spots, and sun damage.
By addressing both tone and texture in one session, Fraxel® Dual creates long-term rejuvenation with minimal recovery time.
How Non-Ablative Fractional Lasers Work
Traditional lasers resurface the entire top layer of skin, requiring longer downtime. Non-ablative fractional lasers, like Fraxel® Dual, instead deliver thousands of microscopic laser columns into the skin. These fractional “micro-injuries” stimulate the body’s natural healing response and promote new collagen and elastin production.
The untreated tissue between laser columns allows faster recovery, reduced redness, and less peeling than fully ablative systems—making Fraxel® Dual ideal for busy patients who want powerful results with minimal disruption.
What Conditions Can the Fraxel® Dual Laser Treat?
The Fraxel® Dual laser is one of the most versatile skin rejuvenation technologies available. It effectively addresses:
- Fine lines and mild to moderate wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage and photoaging
- Brown spots and hyperpigmentation
- Melasma (hormonally triggered discoloration)
- Acne and surgical scars
- Actinic keratoses (precancerous lesions)
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Large pores and dull skin tone
Dr. Mai often recommends Fraxel® Dual as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan, pairing it with treatments like Morpheus8 RF microneedling or VBeam® pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments for enhanced collagen stimulation and pigment correction.

Benefits of Fraxel® Dual Laser Treatment
Patients choose the Fraxel® Dual laser for its ability to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results without surgery or extended downtime.
Key benefits include:
- Non-invasive and clinically proven technology
- Safe for most skin tones and types
- Minimal discomfort and short recovery period
- Improved texture, tone, and overall skin health
- Long-term collagen remodeling for continued improvement
Because Fraxel® Dual targets both surface pigmentation and deep structural concerns, results often develop progressively over several weeks and continue to improve for months after treatment.
The Fraxel® Dual Experience at Hilton Dermatology
Consultation and Preparation
Dr. Mai will evaluate your skin type, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether the Fraxel® Dual laser is appropriate for you. Certain pigmentary conditions may require pre-treatment skincare or sun avoidance to ensure optimal safety.
During Treatment
Fraxel® Dual treatments typically last 15–45 minutes, depending on the area treated. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of warm, tingling pulses.
After Treatment
Light flaking or peeling may occur for 6–7 days as the skin renews itself. Makeup can usually be applied the next day, and patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Dr. Mai will provide customized aftercare instructions for Fraxel® Dual, including sun protection and gentle skincare, to preserve results.
Fraxel® Dual vs. Other Skin Resurfacing Treatments
While several laser and energy-based treatments rejuvenate skin, the Fraxel® Dual laser occupies a unique place in Hilton Dermatology’s advanced technology lineup.

Dr. Mai will recommend the best option based on your goals, skin type, and available downtime.
Results and Longevity of Fraxel® Dual Laser Treatment
Most Fraxel® Dual laser patients notice visible improvement after a single session, with optimal results achieved through a series of 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Results include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
- Less noticeable stretch marks
- Brighter, more even tone
- Diminished brown spots and sun damage
