Advalight Laser vs. Fraxel: Which Laser is Best for Your Skin Goals?

Choosing the right laser treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when both Advalight Laser and Fraxel offer amazing results. While both are effective, they target different concerns and work in unique ways. Let’s break it down to help you decide which one is right for your skin.

Advalight Laser

Best for: Redness, acne, mild pigmentation, and general brightening.

How It Works: Advalight uses dual wavelengths to target redness, vascular issues, and acne while improving skin tone and texture. It’s a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime.
Why We Love It: Perfect for clients with rosacea, sensitive skin, or active breakouts. It’s a gentle solution that delivers noticeable improvements over time.
What to Expect: Most clients need a series of 4 sessions for optimal results, but you’ll see improvements after the first treatment. There is minimal redness post-treatment, and you can get back to your routine the same day.

Fraxel Laser

Best for: Fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and scars.

How It Works: Fraxel creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and resurface the top layers, making it also highly effective for deeper concerns like wrinkles and pigmentation.
Why We Love It: Ideal for those looking to address significant signs of aging or texture issues. It’s a go-to for sun damage, acne scars, and stubborn discoloration.
What to Expect: Fraxel requires a few days of downtime due to redness and peeling, but the results are transformative. Most clients see dramatic improvements after 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart.

How to Choose

Choose Advalight if you’re focused on calming redness, treating active acne, or evening out skin tone with no downtime.
Choose Fraxel if you want to tackle deeper concerns like wrinkles, scarring, or sun damage with a more intensive treatment.
