| Pros | hyperpigmenation less by 5-10% after the 1st tx |
|---|---|
| Cons | small white rashes and itchy |
| Bottom line | i had my 1st tx last jan.15 on my neck and upper arms and everything well but after 2 weeks, i had small white cysts probably milia. this is probabaly the response of my skin which is hypersensitive after the laser tx. and im not gonna continue my other 3 treatments since im afraid it will even get worse. my advice for those who have filipino-asian skin, better go to a derm doctor that specializes on your skin type/race.i will just continue with my derma sweep microdermabrasion eventhough it has minimal results, at least it will not cause more harm to my skin. fraxel is the trend right now but wait till everyone is happy with it. |

| Pros | i did notice a slight difference. but could be from my face being swollen. any improvement is good. |
|---|---|
| Cons | it is expensive for how many treatments they recommend for best results. . |
| Bottom line | I am very vain and ill try anything to improve my skin, i.e. appearance. so if you have the money go for it. Honestly it doesn't work as well as Doctors claim it does so don't expect miracles.. |

| Pros | Smoother skin, smaller pores, people have noticed! :) |
|---|---|
| Cons | Swollen for 2-3 days after treatment, red face like a bad sunburn, skin peels and flakes for about 4-5 days...but not really bad like a chemical peel |
| Bottom line | I LOVE fraxel...and I plan to go back to get my neck done next. I have had 6 treatments on my face for moderate acne scarring. The swelling is worth the end result. Ice packs will definitely help with swelling and I used neosporin for the flakiness...because it got a little raw around my mouth an chin after a few days...I would put the neosporin on at night. It is expensive but worth it. |

| Pros | less noticeable scars, have had 8 but still not where I want to be...after the first 5 derm kept offering more for half price....gonna go back in a month or so once i save up more money |
|---|---|
| Cons | have had 8 at very high levels...smth was set at 75 my last one and still have pretty noticeable scars-but mine were very severe to start out with |
| Bottom line | I would research all the possible treatments before jumping in to this if you have severe acne scarring. I have paid for a lot of treatments and am still doing it and do not have smooth skin yet. I wish I had researched more treatments out there that are more invasive but riskier....at least then I might have gotten the results I wanted. I would recommend for mild to moderate acne scarring though. |

| Pros | skin is smoother. furrows gone. pore size minimized. deep pitted acne scars less noticable. |
|---|---|
| Cons | i can't really say there are any. compared to the physical and psychological scarring i've lived with my entire life, 2 weeks of redness and scaliness is worth it.thankfully, i did not experience oozing or blistering. |
| Bottom line | as i approach 50, the skin around my around my mouth,chin and lower cheeks began to sag much to my dismay.because of the severe acne scarring these areas looked worse than they would on a person with smooth skin. i had deep furrows,and pitted skin. i had 4 treatments,and it has taken 10-15 years of my face and the provider only charged me for the area treated, not for the entire face. |

| Bottom line | I had Fraxel Laser yesterday. My skin looks so red but I can see it was good for my skin. Today when I woke up and during the day I got many acne "very small" but I got many in my face and I would like to know if it is normal or not??? How many days will my face keep red like now??? Thanks |

| Pros | Excellent Results |
|---|---|
| Cons | Pain, end of story. I tend to be a little wimpy anyway but I did find the recovery to be a bit painful. It was short lived - about 3 days of pain and then a few weeks of flaky and redness. |
| Bottom line | I had a moderate to severe amount of acne scars on my face and tried everything & everything would make me break out then continue the cycle. The fraxel laser is by far a blessing. I have had 6 treatments and I am very happy with the result. My MD told me that 3-4 months after your last fraxel is your final result and I have found that to be true I did see improvement sooner but the final result is awesome.They are not totally gone but way better. My face was swollen beyond belief, it cracked,bruised and bled-I was UGLY for a few days after each treatment but it was worth it. USE ICE, it helps so does the RX burn cream called Silvadene.The best cover up for dry and red Bare Essentials mineral foundaton the minerals actually help it feel better. Have a MD do it, you will get a better result. I had a tech do one and I did not get the same result I did with MD.ztyedi@[link removed] if you want to "talk" more.I am happy to share. Dr. Stewart/Denver Dr. DeLatorre/Fort Collins ROCK the fraxel! |

| Pros | Hardly any downtime |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | I had the treatment done yesterday evening. It was very painful but so far worth it. I have severe acne scars and at this point I think this is the best thing out there, I woke up this morning very swollen wih 1 eye almost shut. I dont feel any pain or itchines. My skin feels smoother already but I know its because I'm still swollen. I'll have to keep you updated on my progress. I paid $2,150.00 for 3 treatments.I would defenitely recommend it. |
