What’s the difference between Fraxel and the new Syneron Resolve?

Question

The goal is to manage melasma and help with the integrity of the skin. I’ve had several fraxels performed with good results over the years. I’ve since relocated and have come across this particular laser which is said to do the same by the Dr. Any professional thoughts ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Both are fractional lasers. Each Doctor will have their preferred laser. Melasma needs a combination approach to get the best improvement and will need a series of treatments. In our practice, we combine Clear + brilliant, peels, microneedling/PRP, aerolase, Cosmelan, and sometimes erbium laser (coollaser) to get the best results. Melasma will need life-long maintenance. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Fraxel is a brand of laser that has multiple wavelengths, that can help rejuvenate skin, if your aim is for melamsa management then the 1064 Resolve Pico laser can help. NOTE- laser itself does not solve melasma, this laser must be combined with creams and sun protection, its a complex laser to use for melasma as the end points are difficult to ascertain. See a dermatologist in your area if you are set on Syneron Resolve- they can guide you. Dr Davin S. Lim
