Fraxel Dual Laser, Performed by a Board-Certified Dermatologist
Fraxel is a fractional laser that works below the surface to rebuild skin that has been changed by scarring, sun, or time. At Grace Dermatology, every Fraxel treatment is performed personally by Dr. Lina Kennedy, whose medical background allows for precise, safe resurfacing.
Why See a Dermatologist for Fraxel
Fraxel is a powerful resurfacing tool, and settings need to be calibrated to your skin type and goals to get strong results safely, since going too aggressive can cause burns, scarring, or lasting pigment changes, especially on deeper skin tones. Dr. Kennedy's dermatology training means your treatment is customized, not standardized, so patients of all skin types can be treated safely while still seeing real results.
What Fraxel Treats

Your Experience at Grace Dermatology
Consultation
We assess your skin, including sun damage, scarring, and goals to determine the right treatment settings and whether a single session or series is best for you.
Treatment
Numbing is applied for about an hour beforehand, and the treatment itself typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as heat with a prickling feeling that fades quickly.
Results
Expect redness and mild swelling for a few days, with some peeling over the following week. Skin continues to improve over the following months as new collagen forms.
