I am Caucasian & have dark pigmentation on face/neck/chest. Sun damage. One doctor recommended Fraxel Dual & another recommended IPL w/V Beam. I've had IPL with V beam in the past & results were good. Which procedure will give better results?

Answer: Fraxel Dual vs IPL with V Beam? Fraxel® is more of the resurfacing laser, while IPL lightens brown and red pigmentation, while VBeam® lightens red pigmentation.

Answer: Fraxel Dual vs. Vbeam Thank you for your question. The IPL targets pigmentation and red in the skin and the Vbeam will target the red. Therefore, it depends on what you are trying to treat. If you have alot of red that needs to be addressed as well as the pigment then the IPL and Vbeam would be the route to take. Additionally if cost and downtime area a consideration for you, then there will be less downtime and more cost effective for the IPL and Vbeam combo. The Fraxel Dual on the other hand is a great laser that treats pigment, precancerous changes of the skin, fine lines and texture. There are two wavelengths that can be used. 1927 would be the wavelength that would go after the pigment. Therefore, it would be dependent on what issues in your skin you are trying to address.
