5 benefits of using Fraxel DUAL 1550 nm/1927 nm wavelength treatment for photodamaged skin
The Fraxel Dual is one of many skincare services offered at ShadeTree Dermatology in Cocoa Beach and Rockledge, Florida. Our practice is pleased to offer this device for patients looking to treat a variety of concerns, such as photodamaged skin. Let’s look at some common questions about the Fraxel Dual and how it works to refresh and rejuvenate the skin in adult men and women.
What is the Fraxel Dual device?
Dr. Vanessa Johnson and her team describe the Fraxel Dual device as a revolutionary laser system for cosmetic and medical treatments. It uses fractional laser technology to target specific areas of the skin, known as microthermal zones, resulting in a more precise and effective skincare treatment.
How does the Fraxel Dual work?
The Fraxel Dual device has two different wavelengths: 1927 nanometers (nm) and 1550 nm. The 1927 nm wavelength targets the skin’s outermost layers, making it ideal for treating pigmentation issues like sun spots and age spots. On the other hand, the 1550 nm wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, making it great for treating wrinkles, acne scars, and other imperfections.

What are the benefits of the Fraxel Dual device?
Many treatment options are available to treat certain skin concerns like pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne scars. However, the Fraxel Dual device offers several unique benefits that make it stand out from other treatments:
- Precise targeting. With its two different wavelengths, the Fraxel Dual device allows for precise targeting of various skin concerns. This means that the laser is adjustable to penetrate different depths of the skin, making it highly customizable for each of our patient’s needs.
- Minimal downtime and recovery. The Fraxel Dual device has minimal downtime, unlike other more invasive treatments like deep chemical peels or ablative lasers. Most of our patients at our office can return to their normal activities immediately after this treatment, with only some redness and mild swelling that dissipates within a few days.
- Safe and effective for all skin types. The Fraxel Dual laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker complexions. This makes it a versatile option for individuals who may not be suitable candidates for other laser treatments.
- Long-lasting results. While some skincare treatments may provide temporary results, the effects of Fraxel Dual laser treatment can last for years with proper maintenance and sun protection. This is because the laser stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and appearance.
- Treats multiple skin concerns. Fraxel Dual laser treatment can address many common skin concerns, including sun-damaged skin, pigmentation, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture and tone. This makes it an attractive and versatile option for those looking to improve the skin’s overall look.
