Why choose the AWC for Fraxel?
Dr. Ahn and the staff at the Aesthetic Wellness Center are excited to announce the arrival of the new Fraxel Dual Laser System! The AWC is one of only five offices in New England offering the new Fraxel Dual laser. We are now the most comprehensive Fraxel laser provider in the area.
The Fraxel Dual specifically targets pigment of the skin while still building collagen to improve texture and elasticity. Pigmentation is a discoloration of the skin characterized by dark brown spots or blotches that is often caused by years of sun exposure. The Fraxel Dual laser system is the first treatment using the new, more superficial Thulium fiber laser (1927 nm) and is the first application of the Thulium wavelength in the aesthetic industry!
Benefits of the Fraxel Dual laser treatment include:
Treatment Areas
The Fraxel Dual can treat a number of different areas including the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Unlike other lasers with older technology, the Dual can treat multiple areas during a single session.
Treatment Experience
Our patients have found the Fraxel Dual laser treatment to be a comfortable procedure in comparison to other laser treatments. Superficial targeting with the Thulium wavelength and focal cooling improve the patient’s comfort during the treatment.
Combination treatment
One unique quality of the Fraxel Dual system is that it can be used in combination with the Fraxel re:store treatment. The treatments can be combined as part of a general plan of care and can even be combined in a single session! Combining both the Fraxel Dual and re:store laser treatments is great for patients who are looking for deeper collagen stimulation along with the reduction of pigmented areas of the skin.
What will I look like?
Patients always wonder what they will look like after any treatment. Although each patient’s skin will react differently, the images below will give a general idea of what to expect before and after the Fraxel Dual laser treatment:

Before Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment One Month After Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment of the Full Face
Below is a patient diary of the Fraxel Dual laser treatment provided Solta Medical. The patient is a 47-year-old female Executive Assistant seeking treatment for sun spots, which have worsened over the years. She has an active outdoor life style including activities such as gardening and hiking. Her past dermatological history includes Rosacea.
To prepare the patient for the Fraxel treatment, a topical anesthetic ointment was applied one hour prior to the procedure and removed immediately before the treatment.
The Fraxel Dual laser system is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can resurface damaged skin and uncover the skin of your youth – all with minimal impact on your daily routine!
Please call our office for additional information on the Fraxel Dual laser or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ahn to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment.
The results of laser hair removal are permanent. However, multiple treatments are necessary in order to treat all of the hairs in one area. Most patients average three to four treatments.
Some mild discomfort after undergoing laser surgery.
The Fraxel Laser involves less discomfort that other laser treatments. Nevertheless, patients may experience some discomfort during the first two days after treatment which can be alleviated with ice packs and Tylenol.
The laser targets overactive sebaceous glands in the skin which is the root cause of acne. Long-lasting acne relief can be achieved with just three to four treatments.
Brown spots or discoloration caused by aging and sun damaged can be treated with laser surgery. Just a few office visits and a few pulses of the laser are needed to erase this unwanted discoloration.
A gentle yet intense laser is used to treat rosacea and its associated redness. All types of rosacea can be treated in just three to five treatments.
The laser targets the pigment in unsightly spider veins, thus improving their appearance. Just a few office visits are needed to treat them.
Sun damage of the upper chest or dcollet can be treated with a combination of laser therapies.
For the laser hair removal treatment, Dr. Ahn uses the GentleLase and GentleYag lasers from Candela. These are the safest and most effective lasers available for laser hair removal. This laser is passed over the treatment area where it targets the pigment and permanently disables the follicle. Treatment is quick and convenient. Most patients require a course of treatments averaging three to four sessions.
The Fraxel Laser is specially designed to combine the potency of ablative treatments with the gentle safety of non-ablative lasers. When applied to the treatment area, the laser targets aging and damaged skin by creating microscopic "wounds" which penetrate deep beneath the outermost layer of skin. This triggers the body's natural production of new collagen and skin cells, improving the appearance of aging and damaged skin.
Laser hair removal is a procedure which removes unwanted hair from the face and/or body. Dr. Ahn uses the GentleLase and GentleYag lasers from Candela, which are the safest and most effective lasers available for laser hair removal. The laser targets the hair pigment, permanently disabling the follicle and removing unwanted hair.
Laser surgery involves the use of laser to treat a variety of conditions. At the Aesthetic Wellness Center, we use the Candela family of lasers to treat spider veins, rosacea, brown spots, acne scarring and sun damage of the upper chest.
The Fraxel Laser is the latest, non-invasive laser treatment for aged and sun damaged skin. At the Aesthetic Wellness Center, we use the new, upgraded 70mj Fraxel Laser which allows for improved results, less discomfort and minimal downtime. The Fraxel Laser can be used to treat acne scars, stretch marks, brown spots, age spots, melasma, and wrinkles around the eyes while also tightening the skin and improving texture, tone and pore size. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest and hands.
There is little downtime or recovery associated with laser hair removal. While some swelling or redness may occur, these fade quickly and most usual activities can be resumed right after treatment.
Patients may experience some redness and swelling of the skin after laser surgery. Discomfort may also occur but is usually mild. Patients will need to protect the treated area from the sun for a period of time.
The new, upgraded 70 mj Fraxel involves less discomfort and almost no downtime as compared to older treatments. The skin will appear red or slightly dark immediately after treatment. It may also be swollen, warm and sensitive. Sleeping on the back with the head elevated can help to resolve swelling. Moisturizer will need to be applied frequently and liberally during the recovery, along with sunscreen. The skin will begin to peel within about three to four days after treatment and will continue to peel for two to three days. Areas like the neck, chest and arms may take longer to peel. Once the skin has fully peeled, it will be smoother and less pigmented with improved tone and tighter pores. Improvement can be seen after a single treatment, though the best results are typically achieved with an average of four treatments.
During the consultation for Fraxel Laser treatment, Dr. Ahn will discuss the available treatment options including the benefits, the expected outcomes and any alternatives. He will address any questions or concerns that you may have and take special care to educate you about the laser treatment so that you can make a well-informed decision. Digital photography and computer imaging may be used to demonstrate the potential results.
