Project Skin MD Medical Director Dr. McGillivray was among the first physicians to offer Fraxel® treatments in Canada – the laser of choice for celebrities and global media. The Fraxel® re:store DUAL laser is respected as one of the most effective and versatile non-ablative resurfacing laser treatments of our time, employing a patented fractionated technology that treats pigmentation, aging skin, pre-cancerous sun damage (actinic keratoses), scars, stretch marks and more. Fraxel® treatments enhance the health and beauty of skin on the face, neck, chest, hands and beyond.

Fraxel® employs an effective, patented fractionated resurfacing technology. As the first Canadian providers of Fraxel® laser treatments, the physicians at Project Skin MD® have developed advanced protocols for a variety of applications, utilized worldwide for their safety and efficacy.
The Fraxel® re:store DUAL laser can be used to treat the face including around the eyes and mouth, neck and chest.
During a personalized assessment your treatment provider will work with you to create a treatment plan to meet your unique skin needs.
We will then take baseline photos for your patient file. These will be used to show you your results and serve as a reference over time.
We will review our consent forms with you, making sure to answer any questions before proceeding with treatment.
60 to 90 minutes prior to treatment, a topical numbing agent will be applied to the treatment area. Your experienced treatment provider will then begin your treatment, using a combination of the 1550nm and 1927mn wavelengths to address your unique skin needs and achieve the best outcome possible.
Starting from $1000
We will tailor a treatment plan to your unique skin needs. 3 to 5 treatments may be recommended at 4 to 6 week intervals for best results.
We do not offer Fraxel® re:store DUAL to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding nor to patients who have received certain treatments for severe acne within the past 6 months.
Your virtual skincare experts – honouring social distancing while helping you maintain healthy skin.
Fraxel® re:store DUAL treatments average about 30 to 45 minutes for the full face and might take up to an hour for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the area to be treated.
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. For a more comfortable experience, we apply topical anesthesia to all our patients prior to the treatment. Following the treatment you will feel the heat start to subside within the first hour.
Fraxel® re:store DUAL uses two laser wavelengths to resurface damaged skin. There are two laser treatment modes: one specifically treats concerns such as wrinkles or acne scarring that are deeper in the skin layers (1550nm). The second treatment mode (1927nm) effectively targets sun spots, age spots and tone and texture, which are more superficial.
Generally, patients will experience some redness for several days. As your skin heals, you may see bronzing and peeling. There is no wound care, but you should apply moisturizer and sun protection as instructed. After the healing process, you can expect:
• Smoother, fresher and younger looking skin
• Improved tone & texture
• Reduced appearance of unwanted brown spots
To ensure proper skin healing, a SkinCeuticals skincare routine (Recovery Kit) will be provided to you along with clear instructions.
Your results will start unfolding immediately after your treatment. Collagen synthesis and tightening takes time, and results will continue to improve over the next 90 days. We typically like to see you for a follow-up visit after 6 weeks to assess the improvement.
Everyone’s skin is different, but typically patients can expect great results in 4 sessions, depending on your desired outcomes. These sessions are generally spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Yes. We can treat multiple areas in a single session.
