Answer: Fraxel for Darker Skin Types--add microneedling/prp Fraxel can be used on darker skinned individuals if it is done at the right settings. I suggest speaking to a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in lasers and treating those with darker skin types. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fraxel family with different lasers. Yes, with certain wavelengths, Fraxel can be customised to each skin type including darker skin. CO2 is not recommended but the 1550 and low density 1927 can be used. Rather than going for a brand, like Fraxel, I encourage patients to seek a method to achieve their goals- this includes energy devices like Ultherapy, Thermage, Infini RF with PRP etc... these treatments are relatively colour blind and may provide a good substitute for Fraxel. See a Specialist who has an selection of lasers, dermal fillers, and energy devices. This way you will be in good hands, rather than limiting your treatment to one Fraxel machine. Dr Davin Lim.
