What Is Fraxel Dual Laser?

Fraxel Dual is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed up healing.

It uses two wavelengths to address different skin depths:

• Superficial layers for pigmentation and texture
• Deeper dermal layers for scars and wrinkles

Key characteristics

• Non-surgical
• Fractional technology
• Stimulates collagen remodeling
• Noticeable improvement with controlled downtime

Why Fraxel Dual Is Popular in Seoul

In Seoul, many people want real texture correction—not just brightening or tightening. Fraxel Dual fits this need well.

Reasons it’s widely chosen

• Effective for acne scars and enlarged pores
• Improves overall skin texture and smoothness
• Strong collagen stimulation
• Balanced results with manageable downtime
• Often used in seasonal or treatment-series plans

How Fraxel Dual Works

Fraxel Dual creates microscopic thermal columns in the skin.

What happens under the skin

• Laser energy penetrates targeted depths
• Old, damaged skin is replaced with new skin
• Collagen production is stimulated
• Skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even

Because only a fraction of the skin is treated each session, healing is faster than traditional resurfacing lasers.
