Multifrax Laser Singapore — The Complete 2026 Guide to the Digital Peel
How the dual-wavelength Multifrax digital peel works, what it treats, what it costs, and how to support your results
The guide in brief
Multifrax — often called the Digital Peel — is a non-ablative fractional laser that fires two wavelengths from a single tip in one pass. It resurfaces the skin's surface for tone and clarity while stimulating collagen at depth, with minimal downtime that makes it one of Singapore's most popular "lunchtime" laser facials.
REVAGI The Recombinant Serum — formulated with SCIRA™ recombinant collagen — supports the skin barrier and collagen remodelling phase after fractional laser treatment, and is used at licensed plastic surgery, dermatology and aesthetic clinics in Singapore.
What Is Multifrax?
Multifrax is a non-ablative fractional laser marketed in Singapore as the "Digital Peel." Its defining feature is a single-pass, dual-wavelength delivery: it emits two laser wavelengths simultaneously through one tip, without the operator needing to swap handpieces or applicators between passes. This makes treatment fast and consistent.
Like all fractional lasers, Multifrax treats only a fraction of the skin at any moment — delivering microscopic columns of energy into the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact to drive rapid healing. The "digital peel" name reflects the outcome: a controlled, laser-driven renewal of the skin surface that mimics the brightening effect of a peel, without chemical exfoliation.
How the Dual Wavelengths Work
Multifrax combines two non-ablative fractional wavelengths that act at different depths:
| Wavelength | Depth | What it targets |
|---|---|---|
| 1550 nm | Deeper dermis | Collagen restructuring — softens wrinkles, scars, and age spots at depth |
| 1927 nm | Superficial epidermis | Pigmentation, uneven tone, dullness, surface texture |
By delivering both wavelengths together, Multifrax addresses surface pigmentation and deeper collagen concerns in the same pass. The deeper 1550 nm energy creates micro-zones of thermal stimulation that activate fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, while the superficial 1927 nm energy resurfaces the upper layers to even out tone.
What Multifrax Treats
| Concern | How Multifrax helps | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Dullness & uneven tone | 1927 nm resurfaces superficial layers for a fresh, even surface | Reliable brightening — a signature result |
| Pigmentation & sun spots | Superficial wavelength targets surface pigment | Good progressive lightening over a course |
| Fine lines & early wrinkles | 1550 nm stimulates dermal collagen | Moderate softening; best for early ageing |
| Enlarged pores & rough texture | Collagen remodelling refines the surface | Good progressive improvement |
| Shallow acne scars | Dermal stimulation smooths shallow depressions | Moderate; deeper scars need stronger modalities |
| Overall radiance / "glow" | Combined surface renewal and collagen support | Reliable luminosity boost across skin types |
Multifrax vs Fraxel — Are They the Same?
They are closely related but not identical. Both are non-ablative fractional lasers, and both work around the 1550 nm and 1927 nm wavelengths. The practical differences come down to the specific device, its delivery, and how clinics position it:
- Fraxel Dual is a specific Solta Medical platform, long-established and often used at medium energy for pigmentation and texture.
- Multifrax is delivered as a single-pass dual-wavelength "digital peel," typically positioned as a gentler, minimal-downtime treatment focused on brightening and surface renewal.
In practice, the right choice depends on your concern and your doctor's assessment rather than the brand name. For the full landscape, see our guide to non-ablative lasers in Singapore.
What to Expect
Before the Procedure
- A consultation to confirm skin type and concern
- Pause retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs 3–5 days before
- Diligent sun protection beforehand to reduce active pigment
- Topical numbing cream applied around 30 minutes before treatment
During Treatment
The handpiece is passed over the treatment area; the dual wavelengths are delivered in a single pass. Sessions are short — typically around 20–30 minutes for a full face. Most patients report a mild warm, prickling sensation that the numbing cream manages well.
Immediately After
Expect mild redness, a warm sensation, and possibly slight swelling, generally settling within hours to a couple of days. Over the following days, tiny darkened specks — microscopic treated zones — surface and shed naturally, usually clearing within 6–10 days to reveal fresher skin underneath.
Downtime & Recovery
Multifrax is valued precisely for its minimal downtime. Apart from avoiding excessive sun exposure, most patients can resume work and daily activities immediately after treatment. Realistic expectations:
- Day 0: Mild redness and warmth; settles within hours for most patients.
- Day 1–3: Skin may feel slightly rough or look faintly bronzed; tiny specks begin to appear.
- Day 4–10: The treated micro-specks flake away; skin looks brighter and smoother.
- Week 2 onward: Collagen remodelling continues invisibly beneath the surface.
Multifrax Cost in Singapore (2026)
| Treatment | Price range (SGD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Multifrax Digital Peel — full face (per session) | $700 – $1,000 | Varies by clinic and indication |
| First / trial session | Often discounted | Many clinics offer introductory pricing |
| Course of 3–5 sessions | $2,000 – $4,500 | Package pricing typically lower per session |
Pricing is indicative, based on published Singapore clinic rates as of 2026. Final pricing depends on the clinic, treating doctor's seniority, and treatment area. Obtain a formal consultation and quote before proceeding.
How Many Sessions?
Multifrax is designed to work as a course rather than a single dramatic treatment. Most clinics recommend three to five sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, with visible improvement in tone and texture building progressively across the course. A single session delivers a fresh "glow," but the cumulative collagen and pigment benefits develop over the full series. Periodic maintenance sessions help sustain the result.
Post-Procedure Skincare — Why It Matters
After Multifrax, the skin's barrier is temporarily disrupted and fibroblasts are highly active. What you apply in the first 72 hours and the weeks that follow directly influences both visible recovery and the quality of collagen formed.

Why Recombinant Collagen — Not Just Any Serum
Multifrax stimulates fibroblasts through fractional thermal injury. But over-stimulated fibroblasts can produce excessive, disorganised collagen. Recombinant collagen guides fibroblast activity toward quality synthesis — the goal is better collagen, not simply more of it. Understand the science: recombinant vs traditional collagen and what recombinant collagen is and why it matters.
- Biomimetic surface layer — mirrors the skin's ECM, communicating with the repair processes below
- Anti-inflammatory modulation — moderates the post-procedure inflammatory response
- Fibroblast regulation — supports organised collagen synthesis, not excessive deposition
- Surface comfort — visible redness reduction from the first application
- No irritants — free from retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and fragrance

Multifrax vs Other Treatments
| Multifrax | Fraxel Dual | Pico Laser | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Non-ablative fractional (dual-wave, single pass) | Non-ablative fractional (dual wavelength) | Photoacoustic (pigment-shattering) |
| Best for | Brightening, tone, texture, glow | Pigment + texture + early scars | Pigmentation, melasma, tone |
| Downtime | Hours – a few days | 2–5 days | 1–3 days |
| Sensation | Mild warmth | Warm prickling | Light snapping |
| Sessions | 3–5 | 3–5 | 3–6 |
Many patients in Singapore combine modalities — for example, alternating a pigment-focused laser with a collagen-focused fractional treatment. Your treating doctor will advise on the most appropriate plan and sequencing.
Combining Multifrax With Other Treatments
Because Multifrax is gentle and focused on brightening and surface renewal, it is often used as part of a broader plan rather than in isolation. Patients with mixed concerns may alternate Multifrax sessions with a pigment-targeting pico laser, or follow a course with deeper collagen treatments such as RF microneedling for laxity and deeper scarring.
The advantage of building a plan around a low-downtime treatment like Multifrax is consistency — regular, gentle stimulation paired with diligent post-procedure care tends to compound into steady improvement over time. Your treating doctor will advise on sequencing and spacing.

| Pregnant or breastfeeding | ✘ Not recommended |
Choosing a Clinic in Singapore
Under Singapore's Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA), laser and energy-based aesthetic procedures must be performed by — or under the direct supervision of — a licensed doctor at a licensed clinic. Results are strongly operator-dependent, so where and with whom you have treatment matters. When choosing:
- Confirm the treating doctor is appropriately trained and experienced with your skin type — Fitzpatrick III–V in most Singaporean patients.
- Ask how often they treat your specific concern, and how they manage post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk.
- Expect a proper consultation, a test patch where appropriate, and clear written aftercare instructions.
- Be cautious of unusually low promotional pricing — appropriate laser treatment is a considered medical procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "digital peel"?
"Digital peel" is the marketing name for the Multifrax fractional laser treatment. It describes the outcome — a controlled, laser-driven renewal of the skin surface that brightens and refines tone, similar to the effect of a peel but driven by laser energy rather than chemical exfoliation.
Is Multifrax better than Fraxel?
Neither is universally "better" — they are closely related non-ablative fractional lasers working around the same wavelengths. Multifrax is typically positioned as a gentler, minimal-downtime brightening treatment, while Fraxel Dual may be run at higher energy for texture and scars. Your doctor will recommend based on your concern, not the brand.
How much downtime does Multifrax have?
Minimal. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, with mild redness settling within hours. Tiny treated specks surface over the next few days and shed within about 6–10 days. Strict daily SPF is essential throughout.
Is Multifrax safe for Asian skin?
Multifrax is non-ablative and largely spares the deeper epidermis, which helps reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in Fitzpatrick III–V skin. As with any energy-based treatment, appropriate settings and strict sun protection remain important. See reducing hyperpigmentation risk.
What should I use on my skin afterward?
Keep it gentle: a mild cleanser, a non-irritating recombinant collagen serum to support barrier recovery and collagen remodelling, and strict SPF 50+. Avoid acids, retinoids, and vitamin C for the first few days.
