Is Fraxel restore Dual the same thing as Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927?
May 14, 2014
Asked By:
Fraxel re:store (also written as restore/Restore) on RealSelf and elsewhere, but no mention of it on Fraxel's own website (except in old press releases). Fraxel's site shows re:pair SST, DUAL 1550/1927, and re:fine. No mention of re:store. CMonclusion: re:store started out at 1550 nm, then became re:store Dual when the 1927 nm wavelength was added, and then eventually became Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927. Is this so?

Your skin should return to its normal status after it is healed - it is not a good idea to put a band aid on the skin that is healing as it could increase the risk of infection, although it is unlikely that this would cause a problem if you did it only once.
For most patients the redness after Fraxel repair should be resolved in three weeks. The redness also depends on the setting used and the nature of an individual's skin. For the best results please find a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with Fraxel.
Fraxel generally works very well on pigmentation from the sun. A photo would be helpful to evaluate your skin type and coloring. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may not respond well to the Fraxel with your skin type. I would recommend chemical peels or the Q-switched Yag for this area. ...
