What is Dual Fractional Laser?
Dual Fractional Laser is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. This treatment, performed by Dr. Rivela or one of his expert team members, allows for surface renewal and deep dermal rejuvenation. By targeting multiple layers of the skin, our Dual Fractional Laser improves tone, texture, and skin clarity. At Rivela Plastic Surgery in The Woodlands, Dual Fractional Laser treatment can be tailored to your unique needs to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. Whether you’re struggling with aging skin or a specific skin concern, our hybrid fractional laser treatment may be right for you.
What are the Benefits of Dual Fractional Laser?
Dual Fractional Laser treatment is personalized to your needs to improve your skin’s appearance. Patients often notice improvements in skin texture, overall complexion, and skin radiance. The treatment is designed to reduce the appearance and treat skin concerns such as sun damage from excess sun exposure, pigmentation, fine lines, and enlarged pores. The Hybrid Fractional Laser can be tailored to each patient, offering visible results with minimal recovery time.
How Does Dual Fractional Laser Resurfacing Work?
The Dual Fractional Laser procedure uses dual laser wavelengths to target both the outer layers of the skin and deeper tissue. The ablative laser works on the skin’s surface to resurface and exfoliate the skin, while the non-ablative laser penetrates below the surface to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal without harming the surrounding tissue.
Before your treatment begins, a topical anesthetic is applied to help you maintain optimal comfort during the treatment. The Dual Fractional Laser device (also called hybrid fractional laser technology) is then gently passed over the skin. The entire session typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Over the days and weeks following treatment, your body’s natural healing response will kick in, and the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned.
Who is a Candidate for Dual Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing?
The Dual Fractional Laser is suitable for various skin types and tones, making it an ideal option for those seeking skin rejuvenation. Ideal candidates are those who want to improve sunspots, discoloration, textural concerns, skin firmness, early signs of aging, and acne scars. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
Dual Fractional Laser Add-On: PDGF
Boost your Dual Fractional Laser results with Ariessence™ Pure PDGF+, the only FDA-approved topical growth factor for use with open skin microchannels. PDGF+ speeds healing, reduces redness, and amplifies results, improving tone, texture, fine lines, and overall radiance.
Are There Side Effects of Dual Fractional Laser?
The Hybrid Fractional Laser is known for its ability to deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime. After treatment, it is normal to experience redness, warmth, and mild swelling, which feels similar to a mild sunburn. Patients may also experience light peeling as the skin naturally exfoliates. These side effects subside within five to seven days. Most individuals can return to their usual skincare routines within a few days, with continued improvement in skin quality visible in the weeks that follow.
