Hello everyone, I had Fraxel Dual 1927 for pigmentation yesterday. The doctor used Energy:5 on my cheeks, eyes and nose... and Energy: 10 on my forehead, Treatment Level:3, Passes: 8. I wanted to go with higher energy:20 on my face, but she said there was no need for it because my skin already looked very good, and was just doing it to even out the skin tone. Attaching several photos, for your review to recommend correct settings for this skin tone.
Answer: Fraxel and Settings Fraxel is one of my favorite lasers and is highly effective for pigmentation. Without an unperson consultation for your skin type and tone it is impossible to give an opinion on the settings used. Please consult an expert in skin lasers and pigmentation for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Fraxel Dual settings It is hard to say what exactly are the right settings for you without seeing you in person and evaluating your skin. I rarely use 20mj on even the most aggressive treatments. My typical settings are 5-10mj - the higher settings don't go much deeper than the lower settings. The treatment level is where the real changes are. TL 3 is relatively low. Standard for me 4-5. For precancerous lesions, I can go all the way up to 9-11. Passes do not affect outcome, only the comfort and time it takes to do the procedure. The computer figures out how much energy to give per pass.
