Solta Medical, the innovative force behind many leading aesthetic technologies, has once again raised the bar in skin rejuvenation with the launch of its Fraxel® re:store Dual system. This powerful new addition to the Fraxel line introduces a dual-wavelength laser platform that significantly broadens the scope of treatment options—offering more speed, better results, and increased comfort for patients.
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Eugene, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge technologies like the Fraxel re:store Dual, giving our patients advanced options to safely and effectively rejuvenate their skin.
What Makes the Fraxel re:store Dual So Unique?
The Fraxel re:store Dual distinguishes itself by combining two laser wavelengths in a single device, a feature that greatly enhances treatment flexibility and efficacy. The addition of the 1927 nm Thulium laser complements the already effective 1550 nm erbium laser, creating a system that can tackle a broader range of skin conditions with unparalleled precision.
Key Features of the Fraxel re:store Dual:
-
Dual Fiber Technology: Includes both 1927 nm (for superficial pigmentation and sun damage) and 1550 nm (for deeper wrinkles, texture, and scars), allowing customizable treatments tailored to patient needs.
-
Increased Speed: A 25% increase in treatment speed means shorter sessions and quicker results.
-
Improved Comfort: The new system features focal cooling built into the handpiece, reducing discomfort and eliminating the need for topical anesthetics in many cases.
-
Enhanced Body Applications: With better wavelengths and comfort features, treating areas beyond the face—like the neck, chest, arms, and hands—is easier than ever.
What Can Fraxel re:store Dual Treat?
This dual-wavelength approach allows us to safely treat a wide range of skin issues with just one device. Conditions commonly treated with Fraxel re:store Dual include:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Age spots and sun damage
-
Melasma and other pigmentation issues
-
Acne and surgical scars
-
Skin texture irregularities
-
Enlarged pores
-
Stretch marks
-
Uneven skin tone on the face, chest, arms, and legs
Because the system can target both superficial and deep layers of the skin, it’s highly effective in stimulating collagen production, promoting smoother skin, and restoring a youthful glow.
Benefits for Patients
If you’ve considered laser resurfacing in the past but were hesitant due to discomfort or downtime, the Fraxel re:store Dual system addresses those concerns head-on. Here’s what patients can expect:
1. Faster Treatment Sessions
With a 25% increase in speed, patients spend less time in the treatment chair. The new handpiece covers more surface area quickly while maintaining consistent energy delivery.
2. Greater Comfort
Thanks to focal cooling technology, the Fraxel re:store Dual system provides improved patient comfort. Many treatments can be performed without numbing creams or with minimal need for post-treatment downtime.
3. Expanded Treatment Areas
Fraxel re:store Dual isn’t just for the face. The Thulium laser makes it safe and efficient to treat:
-
Arms
-
Hands
-
Décolletage
-
Neck
-
Legs and other areas previously difficult to treat with traditional laser platforms.
4. Faster Pigmentation Clearance
The 1927 nm wavelength is optimized for epidermal pigmentation—delivering results in fewer sessions with quicker visual improvement.
How Does It Work?
Fraxel re:store Dual uses fractional laser technology, which targets only a fraction of the skin at a time. This allows for deep collagen remodeling while preserving surrounding tissue, which speeds up healing and reduces recovery time.
Each laser wavelength is suited for different layers of skin:
-
1927 nm Thulium: Targets surface pigment and sun damage, offering dramatic improvement in tone and clarity.
-
1550 nm Erbium: Penetrates deeper layers of skin, addressing wrinkles, acne scars, and skin texture.
By combining both, providers can deliver a comprehensive skin rejuvenation in fewer appointments than ever before.
