Fraxel® Laser in Melbourne

At Dr Tass Cosmetic & Skin Clinics, we offer Fraxel® Dual laser in Melbourne for individuals who want to address pigmentation, sun damage, uneven texture, scarring and signs of ageing. Fraxel® is a fractional laser treatment that uses two wavelengths, 1550 nm and 1927 nm, which can be selected individually or used together depending on your skin concern.

Each wavelength targets a different depth in the skin, allowing your clinician to tailor treatment to your skin and goals. Every treatment begins with a consultation, and individual results vary.

Fraxel® laser delivers microscopic columns of energy into the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated in each session, the untreated tissue may assist the skin’s natural renewal process. This approach allows targeted treatment with controlled downtime.

Fraxel® Dual is a non-ablative fractional laser, which means it works beneath the surface without removing the outer layer of skin.

Fraxel® laser may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have concerns related to pigmentation, sun damage, tone, texture, scarring or fine lines
• Want a personalised treatment approach based on the depth of their concern
• Are comfortable with some downtime, depending on the wavelength used
• Prefer a treatment that supports broader skin renewal

A consultation is essential, as not all skin types or conditions are suitable. If you would prefer a gentler fractional option with less downtime, ask about Clear + Brilliant®. For redness and visible vessels, Excel® V or Laser Genesis™ may be more appropriate.

1. Consultation and assessment: Your clinician assesses your skin and discusses wavelength options, expected downtime and aftercare.
2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied to support comfort.
3. Laser treatment: The handpiece is passed evenly over the skin. A warm or prickling sensation is common.
4. Post-treatment care: You’ll receive a specific aftercare plan for your skin and the wavelength used.

Downtime varies depending on the wavelength used, the treatment settings and your individual skin response. As a general guide:

• The first 1 to 2 days: Redness, warmth and swelling are common, similar to a sunburn.
• Days 2 to 7: The skin may look bronzed and begin to flake or feel dry as it renews. This is more noticeable after the 1927 nm wavelength.
• After the first week: Most visible flaking settles, and the skin continues to renew in the weeks that follow.

Sun protection is essential throughout recovery. Your clinician will provide aftercare instructions to follow.

Results develop gradually as the skin renews over the following weeks to months. Improvements in tone, clarity and texture become more visible as the treated areas remodel. Outcomes vary depending on the wavelength used, the number of sessions and individual skin characteristics.

You can view examples of treatment outcomes in our before and after gallery. Individual results vary.

The number of sessions varies depending on the concern. Deeper or more stubborn concerns may require multiple treatments. For general maintenance and rejuvenation, many individuals choose one treatment per year. Your clinician will recommend a tailored plan for your skin and goals.

The cost of Fraxel® laser depends on the wavelength used, the size of the area treated and the number of sessions recommended. Because every plan is tailored, your clinician will provide a personalised quote after your consultation.
