Frequently asked questions
How Does Fraxel Dual Laser Work?
Fraxel Dual Laser, available at Skinly Aesthetics in NYC, employs a non-ablative, fractional approach to target specific skin issues with unparalleled precision. Utilizing two wavelengths, the 1550 nm Erbium laser and the 1927 nm Thulium laser, this system can address both deep and superficial skin concerns. The laser creates microscopic columns of thermal injury within the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting collagen production. This results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

What is the Actual Process of Fraxel Dual Laser?
The process of Fraxel Dual Laser treatment at Skinly Aesthetics starts with a skin assessment by Dr. Schwarzburg to evaluate your specific concerns. The treatment area is then cleansed to remove impurities. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, the laser and cooling device are passed over the skin, creating microthermal zones of injury. Finally, the skin is cooled with an ice pack to reduce discomfort and redness.
How Long Is The Procedure?
The treatment typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Including preparation and aftercare, plan for a total appointment time of about 1 to 1.5 hours.
What is the Aftercare Following Fraxel Dual Laser?
After undergoing Fraxel Dual Laser treatment, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery. Cooling the skin with cold compresses helps soothe any discomfort. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a recommended moisturizer supports the healing process.
It is crucial to avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect the treated skin. Refrain from picking or scratching the area to prevent complications. Only use gentle skincare products recommended by Dr. Schwarzburg to care for your skin as it heals.
What Is the Expected Downtime?
After Fraxel Dual Laser treatment, you can expect some redness and swelling for the first 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Around day 3 to 5, the skin may appear bronzed and start flaking as part of the natural healing process. This is a sign that the treatment is working to rejuvenate your skin. Most patients can resume normal activities within 2 to 4 days.
What Are Risks and Complications of Fraxel Dual Laser?
While Fraxel Dual Laser is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications to be aware of. These include temporary redness and swelling, which are common and typically subside within a few days. Some patients may experience hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, which are changes in skin color that usually resolve over time.
Although rare, there is a risk of scarring. Blistering or burns can occur if the treatment is not administered correctly, underscoring the importance of having the procedure performed by a trained and experienced professional like Dr. Schwarzburg.
