What is Fraxel Laser Treatment?
Fraxel laser is a globally recognised and FDA-approved laser skin treatment regarded for its high safety when addressing various skin concerns. This non-invasive procedure utilises Fractional CO2 laser technology to target microscopic areas of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the top layer of skin, Fraxel laser treatment creates tiny microscopic wounds in the deeper layers while leaving the surrounding skin intact. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin for enhanced skin renewal and improved skin tone.
Dr. Gerard Ee offers Fraxel Dual laser treatment in Singapore to help individuals achieve smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime. It’s a popular choice for those looking to improve skin tone, texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation through a minimally invasive procedure.
General information about Fraxel lasers is available below with some guidelines for treatment; however, please note that these are general guidelines and individual results may vary.

What Fraxel Laser Treats
Fraxel laser treatment targets a wide range of skin imperfections while maintaining a natural appearance, along with minimal risks, side effects or prolonged downtime that usually accompanies other skin renewal procedures. Common conditions that can be treated with Fraxel laser include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Smooths out wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), forehead, and mouth.
- Acne scars and surgical scars: Reduces the appearance of depressed or raised scars.
- Pigmentation: Lightens age spots, sun spots, and melasma for a more even skin tone.
- Sun damage: Improves skin texture and tone damaged by sun exposure.
- Actinic Keratosis (AK):Treats this common precancerous skin condition.
- Stretch marks: Minimises the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
How Fraxel Laser Treatment Works
Fraxel laser treatment utilises fractional CO2 technology, where the laser creates tiny microscopic wounds in the treatment zone – each just one-tenth of the diameter of a hair follicle – while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and skin cell turnover.
Fraxel Dual treatment, as offered by Dr Gerard Ee at his clinic in Singapore, employs two wavelengths—1550nm and 1927nm—to target both superficial and deeper layers of the skin. The 1550nm wavelength addresses deeper concerns like acne scars and wrinkles in the dermis, while the 1927nm wavelength targets superficial issues like pigmentation and uneven texture in the epidermis. The Fraxel laser is able to penetrate deep into the skin layers, stimulating collagen remodelling and improving skin elasticity.
This precise and controlled treatment triggers the skin’s natural rejuvenation process, resulting in smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. As a result, it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and pore sizes, while also improving skin tone and texture.
At Dr Ee’s clinic, Fraxel laser treatment procedures are tailored to suit an individual’s unique skin condition and needs. Sessions are spaced out to allow for optimal healing and collagen regeneration, ensuring the best possible results over both the short and long term.
Who is Fraxel Laser Treatment Suitable For?
Fraxel Dual laser treatment is generally regarded as safe for all skin types, including individuals with sensitive skin. It can be customised to address various skin concerns and is suitable for individuals looking to renew and improve their overall skin texture, tone, and appearance. However, individuals with darker skin tones may require a more customised approach to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Dr Ee conducts a thorough skin assessment at the start of each session to determine the most suitable treatment parameters for each individual, ensuring safe and optimal outcomes. If you’re considering Fraxel laser treatment in Singapore, you may book a consultation with Dr Ee to discuss your concerns and determine if this treatment is right for you.
