Hey I had around 8 fraxel Dual Sessions and it did help a bit. There is still a bit of Texture and scarring and wanted to ask if fraxel repair would help too. I heard it brings More Effect with just one Treatment

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Fraxel Repair is a CO2 laser treatment that can be more effective for deeper skin issues compared to Fraxel Dual, which primarily targets superficial concerns. Given that you've already undergone eight sessions of Fraxel Dual with some improvement, Fraxel Repair might indeed provide additional benefits for texture and scarring.

Fraxel Repair works by penetrating deeper layers of the skin, promoting more significant collagen remodeling and skin tightening. This often results in more noticeable improvements with fewer treatments. However, it's important to consider that Fraxel Repair typically involves more downtime and potential side effects compared to Fraxel Dual.

Before proceeding, I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or a plastic surgeon who specializes in laser treatments. They can evaluate your skin condition and determine whether Fraxel Repair is the best option for your specific needs. They can also discuss the expected results, recovery time, and any risks involved.

Remember, individual results can vary, and a professional assessment will provide the most personalized and effective treatment plan.
