Fraxel laser: The fraxel is a laser developed for fractional laser technology thereby causing less or no downtime than previous technologies. The 1550 is considered noninvasive and helps acne scarring , poreand other scars. The 1927 - dual helps superficial brown spots and melasma. Fraxel repair is a more potent fractionated co2 laser lwith significant downtime good for skin tightening, wrinkles, pore size, etc.

Fractional laser: Fraxel was the name given to the first fractional resurfacing laser (now about 10 years old). It is a brand. Fractional resurfacing is a generic term referring to all fractional lasers including fraxel re:store (fractional erbium), re:fine, and the newer fractional co2 lasers such as fraxel re:pair, lumenis activefx, deepfx, totalfx, syneron core, sciton profractional, cutera pearl, palomar fraxel.

Fraxel: Fraxel is proven laser technology that can help reverse the visible effects of aging, naturally helping you look as young as you feel. The Fraxel Dual 150/1927 offers two lasers: one to target the surface for tone and texture and one to target the deeper layers to treat fine lines and acne scarring. Results can be seen immediately but will gradually improve for the following 3 to 6 months.
