Achieve Smoother, Tighter & Youthful Glowing Skin Through Science.
The Fraxis Duo is a revolutionary system that features the combination of fractional CO2 laser and microneedle RF technology. Both technologies have gained popularity in aesthetic dermatology for its enhanced results on skin rejuvenation and treatment of various skin conditions. It is designed to target both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, skin laxity, and overall texture.
CO2 Fractional Ablation is a key component of the Fraxis Duo treatment. This feature utilises a high-powered fractional CO2 laser to deliver stable energy in short pulses, creating an ablative thermal effect that precisely resurfaces the skin. By targeting the epidermis with precision and control, the CO2 laser removes aged and damaged skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. As the skin undergoes rejuvenation, new, healthy cells replace the old ones, resulting in potentially dramatic improvements in just one session. Additionally, the thermal effect of the laser promotes collagen contraction and production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Another integral aspect of Fraxis Duo treatment is Radiofrequency Microneedling, which complements CO2 Fractional Ablation by addressing the deeper layers of the skin. This technique involves the use of multiple fine needles to create micro punctures or channels in the skin, combined with radiofrequency waves. The microneedles penetrate the skin, stimulating the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. This process promotes skin renewal and improves texture, providing a deeper level of rejuvenation compared to CO2 laser resurfacing alone. By reaching multiple depths within the skin, radiofrequency microneedling enhances the overall efficacy of the treatment, delivering comprehensive results that address surface-level concerns and deeper skin issues.
Fraxis Duo is effective for treating acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks and wrinkles. Fractional CO2 laser smoothens the texture of the skin and improves superficial irregularities, while microneedle RF tightens deeper layers, further improving the appearance of your skin.
Acne scars are due to the loss of collagen within your skin. Skin resurfacing works through wound healing and collagen stimulation to improve your acne scars.
Stretch marks involves scarring of the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. Skin resurfacing targeting via a multi-layered approach is more effective.
Rejuvenate your skin. Fractional CO2 and microneedle treatments have been proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tightens your skin and improve your skin texture.
Sun damaged skin is form of extrinsic aging secondary to UV exposure. The Fraxis duo treats facial hyperpigmentation, fine lines, pores and wrinkles. Improved skin tone and texture.
Combination treatments are safe and effective for the right indication and skin type. These treatments put together can yield a better outcome with probably less down time as compared to using each modality on their own. The microneedling treatment allows for the delivery of RF energy with less trauma to the skin surface, hence allowing quicker healing from the surface injury caused by the CO2 laser. Depending on the treatment aims and intensity, downtime is about 5-10 days.
Where fractional CO2 lasers are more suitable for lighter skin types due to the possibility of hyperpigmentation, microneedle RF can safely be performed on darker skin. Such a combination treatment may also be modified according to the skin type of the patient. A consultation with your doctor is necessary so that your skin is examined to determine suitability for the treatment.
The combination allows for customization based on the patient’s needs. For example, areas with more surface damage can benefit from fractional CO2, while areas requiring deep tissue tightening may benefit more from microneedling RF. This generally results in faster observable outcomes and more long-lasting improvement in skin quality, as the synergistic effect of these treatments targets many skin layers in the process of skin rejuvenation.
Yes, Fraxis Duo is suitable for most skin types and tones. However, a consultation with your doctor is recommended to ensure the treatment is tailored to your skin’s specific needs.
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals. Most patients see results after 4-6 treatments, but more severe skin issues may require additional sessions.
Patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment. A topical numbing cream is usually applied to minimize any pain, and some patients report a warming or tingling sensation during the procedure.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and slight skin peeling. These effects typically subside within a few days to a week. More serious side effects, like hyperpigmentation, are rare but may occur, especially without proper aftercare.
Results can vary, but many patients notice improvements in their skin texture and tone within a week. Collagen production continues over the next several months, leading to gradual, ongoing improvements.
It is important to follow a gentle skincare routine after the procedure. Use a mild cleanser, apply sunscreen daily, and avoid direct sun exposure. Your provider may also recommend specific products to enhance healing and results.
