Fraxel Dual® Laser in NYC
Smooth, radiant skin becomes harder to maintain with age, especially as the skin’s natural renewal process slows down. When damaged cells aren’t replaced as efficiently, the skin can appear dull, uneven, or weathered. Fraxel Dual helps reverse these changes by targeting both surface discoloration and deeper textural concerns. Using two complementary wavelengths, the treatment breaks up sun damage, stimulates collagen, and encourages healthy new skin to emerge. Within a few weeks, patients notice a brighter, smoother, more youthful complexion. Dr. Adam Nabatian offers Fraxel Dual to women and men seeking clearer, more refined skin with minimal downtime.
What Is Fraxel® Dual?
Fraxel® Dual is an advanced fractional laser treatment used to improve sun damage, brown spots, fine lines, crepey texture, and acne or surgical scars. It can also treat actinic keratoses, common precancerous skin lesions caused by chronic sun exposure.
Using two wavelengths, Fraxel® Dual targets both surface pigmentation and deeper layers of the skin, making it one of the most effective laser resurfacing treatments available. Because it treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, healing is faster and downtime is minimal.
Fraxel® Dual can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body, and most patients achieve optimal results with a personalized series of treatments. During your consultation at our New York dermatology practice, Dr. Adam Nabatian will design a plan tailored to your skin concerns and goals.
How Does Fraxel® Dual Work?
Fraxel® Dual delivers thousands of microscopic laser columns into the skin, creating controlled micro‑injuries that activate the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates new collagen production, breaks up sun‑induced pigmentation, and replaces damaged cells with fresh, healthy skin.
As the skin repairs itself, you’ll notice improvements in tone, texture, clarity, and overall radiance. Fraxel® Dual is a powerful option for patients seeking non‑surgical skin rejuvenation with long‑lasting, natural‑looking results.

What to Expect at Your Fraxel® Dual Appointment in NYC
The Fraxel® Dual experience is tailored to each patient, but Dr. Nabatian follows a consistent, safety‑focused protocol to ensure optimal results. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Cosmetic Consultation
Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation to confirm that Fraxel® Dual is the right treatment for your skin concerns. Dr. Nabatian will review your medical history, examine the treatment areas, and design a personalized plan based on your goals.
2. Skin Preparation
Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed to remove makeup, sunscreen, and oils. A topical numbing cream is applied and allowed to sit for about an hour to ensure maximum comfort during the laser session.
3. Laser Treatment
Once the skin is fully prepped, Dr. Nabatian performs the Fraxel® Dual treatment. The handheld device is passed evenly across the skin, delivering controlled microscopic columns of energy into the dermis. This process typically takes about 10–20 minutes depending on the area being treated. Patients often describe the sensation as warm, prickly, or similar to a mild sunburn.
4. Immediate Post‑Treatment Care
Immediately after the procedure, cooling measures such as ice packs are used to soothe the skin. A gentle moisturizer or healing product is applied to support the skin barrier. You’ll be advised to wear broad‑spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for the next several days.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Fraxel® Dual can be safely performed on many patients with darker skin tones when the treatment is customized appropriately. Because melanin‑rich skin is more prone to post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it’s essential that the laser settings are carefully selected and the skin is properly prepared.
During your consultation, Dr. Adam Nabatian will evaluate your skin type, history of pigmentation, and overall goals to determine whether Fraxel® Dual is the best option for you. When performed with the correct parameters and aftercare, Fraxel® Dual can effectively improve texture, discoloration, and scars while keeping the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes low.
-
During a Fraxel® Dual treatment, the skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Once the area is numb, Dr. Nabatian performs the procedure using controlled, even passes of the Fraxel® Dual device. You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation as the laser creates microscopic treatment zones in the skin. Cool air is used throughout the session to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself is typically brief, and most patients describe the experience as very tolerable.
-
Many patients notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after a single Fraxel® Dual session, especially when treating mild sun damage or early signs of aging. For deeper lines, scars, or more significant pigmentation, a series of three to five treatments spaced about one month apart typically provides the most comprehensive results.
During your consultation, Dr. Nabatian will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your skin and goals.
