Siteman Cancer Center's Basia Marie Michalski, MD, FAAD recommends a nonablative fractional laser treatment for a few cosmetic concerns patients want to address. The laser is often used for anti-aging or facial rejuvenation as a skin resurfacing treatment.

“It's called the Fraxel Dual. So, the Fraxel Dual is the name of the laser and the ‘dual’ refers to the two wavelengths of the Fraxel," said Michalski.

Michalski says the laser treatment may have added benefits.

“Already studied for treatment of precancers, so it does treat precancers,” she said. “The next step was a study out of Massachusetts General Hospital. It was published in 2023, so just a few months ago, by one of our laser experts in the country.”

The small study suggests the laser treatment could significantly prevent the development of common types of nonmelanoma skin cancer. But more studies are needed.

“I do tell patients about the study because I think it's interesting,” said Michalski.
