In this episode, Double Board-Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship-Trained Laser Surgeon Dr. Kat Kesty breaks down everything you need to know about Fraxel Dual laser treatment — one of the most studied and published lasers in aesthetic medicine, with over 150 clinical studies backing its results.

Dr. Kesty explains how the Fraxel Dual's two wavelengths (1550 and 1927) work together to treat melasma, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines — while stimulating deep collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What Fraxel Dual is and how it differs from other Fraxel devices (Repair, Restore)
• Whether Fraxel is safe for darker skin tones
• How Fraxel treats melasma, acne scars, and stretch marks
• What to expect during treatment — including pain management and comfort measures
• Realistic recovery timelines and downtime (1–8 days depending on settings)
• When to expect visible results (7–14 days for pigment, 3–6 months for collagen)
• Potential risks and how to prepare for your appointment
• Fraxel Dual vs. CO2 laser vs. microneedling — which is right for you?

Whether you're considering your first laser treatment or trying to understand which option fits your skin goals, this episode gives you the dermatologist-level insight you need to have an informed conversation at your next cosmetic consult.
