What makes Fraxel DUAL unique?
Fraxel DUAL is the original fractional skin resurfacing treatment and harnesses the body’s own healing processes to provide incredible skin rejuvenation results. The Fraxel DUAL device is equipped with two different lasers that target different issues: one helps reduce the appearance of sun damage and pigmentation, and the other targets wrinkles, skin texture, and scarring at the deeper skin levels.
Our skilled skin care team uses customized settings on the Fraxel DUAL device to help you achieve the specific results you are seeking. As the device is passed over your skin, it creates small columns of thermal heat in precise areas in your skin, which stimulates the growth of new skin cells and boosts collagen production and skin turnover from the inside out.

These little openings on my nose are pores. They are totally normal. You do not need to do anything about them. If you don’t like them and you find them too big, there are things you can consider to help shrink them. Number one, lasers over skincare. People on this app talk about skincare all the time to shrink pores. It doesn’t really do much. It helps clean out pores. It’s not gonna shrink them. You need to find a device that’ll help build collagen. This can be lasers like fractional CO2, Pico Laser, Clear and Brilliant, Fraxel. Um, it can be devices like radiofrequency microneedling. These will help build collagen and shrink pores. And number two, patience is really important. It takes time to see results, and results will vary.
Before and After Care
Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional skin resurfacing with Fraxel Dual laser
How does the Fraxel Dual laser encourage long-term skin renewal?
The Fraxel Dual laser works beneath the surface to activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over time. This gradual regeneration helps improve fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage. Unlike treatments that resurface the outer layer, Fraxel Dual promotes lasting change from within, helping skin look healthier, smoother, and more youthful months after treatment. Consistent maintenance treatments and proper skincare can further extend these rejuvenating effects, keeping your skin radiant and resilient over time.
Is the recovery process after fractional resurfacing difficult?
Most patients experience mild redness and a sensation similar to a light sunburn for a few days following treatment. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours, and most people resume normal activities within two to three days. Some mild flaking may occur as new skin replaces old tissue. DRS Skincare provides detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery and maximize results. Patients who follow post-care guidelines, such as avoiding sun exposure and keeping the skin moisturized, tend to heal faster and enjoy more even, long-lasting results.
How much does fractional skin resurfacing with Fraxel Dual typically cost in Hamilton, Ontario?
The cost depends on the treatment area and the number of sessions required to achieve your goals. A single session typically ranges from $600 to $1,200 for facial treatments, while packages for multiple areas may be more expensive. At DRS Skincare, our team creates a tailored plan that aligns with both your aesthetic goals and your budget, offering full transparency before treatment begins.
Can fractional resurfacing help with both wrinkles and acne scars?
Yes. The Fraxel Dual laser is highly versatile and can address multiple skin concerns in one treatment. The laser’s deeper wavelength targets acne scars and wrinkles by stimulating collagen remodeling, while the superficial wavelength helps reduce pigment and improve texture. Over time, this dual action smooths uneven skin and softens lines, restoring a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Is the Fraxel Dual laser safe for different skin types?
Fraxel Dual is designed to be safe and effective for a range of skin tones and types. The treatment parameters are customizable, allowing precise control over energy levels and depth. During your consultation at our office, our team will carefully evaluate your skin tone, sensitivity, and goals to ensure treatment is tailored for optimal safety and comfort.
