Most Lasers can be used on all skin types, as long as the treating physician is VERY experienced with using Lasers. The Fraxel Restore Dual has been shown to be a great treatment option for Asian patients with brown spots, hyper pigmentation, and melasma.
Hi. One of the main advantages of the Fraxel laser and the reason it has have over 700,000 treatments world-wide is that it is safe for all types of skin. The Fraxel laser replaced the old-fashioned CO2 laser resurfacing that was popular in the late 90s (this can only be used on light skins). See the link below for more information.

Generally speaking, Fraxel therapy is very safe in all skin types. Nevertheless, each patient is different, and a range of different factors can affect individual results. It is best to consult your specific concern with a board-certified specialist.
Fraxelcan be used on Asian skin, however it does have the possibility forhyperpigmentation. If a bleaching type product is used it lowers thepossibility, but is should be used consistently before and after treatment witha good sunscreen of SPF 50. I also treat Asian skin withEmatrix, the Ematrix system uses Sublative RF- fractioned bi-polar radiofrequency technology to effectively place heat energy into the dermis with muchless possibility of hyperpigmenatation. It is best to consult with a BoardCertified Dermatologist to see what treatment is best for your concerns.
Fraxel is a great laser and I have had fabulous results over the years. However, I have seen many Asian patients who were treated by other physicians and developed hyper pigmentation from Fraxel.

Please find a board certified Dermatologist who has a lot of experience in Asian skin and cosmetic laser procedures.

Many patients who have Fraxel for wrinkles or scars at high settings are also prescribed Prednisone to help with any swelling. Please consult with your treating physician for verification but it is routinely prescribed.
The Fraxel laser is a fabulous laser. There are quite a few imitations to the Fraxel laser which do not give the same results. I have had many patients come to my office and they thought that they had Fraxel when in actuality they had some imitation of a fractionated based laser. Please consult...
Fraxel laser is great for scars, particularly on the nose. Without a photo it is impossible to know how deep that scar is and your skin type. Depending on each it may be wise to do the entire area. I also love Ematrix Laser for acne scars. They have a special tip if there is just one sma...
