Question, Canada Jul 3rd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: none yet Cons: none yet but I hear there are a lot Bottom Line: I havent tried this yet, but for anyone who has- What is the redness like and how long does it last? I would rather have my very small scars than to be perfectly smooth but with red skin for the next few YEARS, as I ve heard some people have experienced. Also taking so much time off work and avoiding friends because my skin is fried red. Ugh. I dont think I should risk it?! I want to get rid of scars so I can go out more and feel more confident, but I dont want to have to hide at home because my face is red 24/7 for a few months time. I'm a male and refuse to wear any make up to cover up redness. Recommended: No Usage: Question has used this item for an inconsistent period of time.

foundNewLife, La Jolla Jul 2nd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Fraxel Re-Store is what I used. Downtime is low: 12 hr after my first treatment, my swollen face is almost 80% back to normal. Scare will get better, side effect none. My God, do yourself a favor. . try this and get your face and confidence b Cons: Pricy. . . Bottom Line: Imaging you can look good under florescent, back lit light again. I'm an asian male, 30 y.o, fair skin (light asian) my scars were many smalls on cheeks/temples, with 2 or 3 moderate spots on one cheek and lower chin/mouth area. Moderate scars were with cyst. Base on the study, the improvement is almost guaranteed cause Fraxel is a physical device that force your skin to regenerate (the good ones stretch to fill where the laser hit) I know it's a matter of time and how many treatment so my concern was only with down time. I can happy to report that with Fraxel Re:Store, I can go to work on the second day and just claim I went to the beach, no problem. Beside the price, I think this is the answer to our scar healing prayer. . you owe yourself a consultation at least. . . I am expecting a 60% improvement for my moderate scars, 90% for small 1s. I can't believe I can have my old face back, I'd go to hell just for 50% better! Best thing for my face ever! Thank u, Dr. Groff from La J Recommended: Yes Usage: foundNewLife has used this item for a day or two. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Asia Jun 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It actually works!!! Cons: patience is virtue!!! Bottom Line: after completing my 5 series of treatments i was utterly disappointed... there was only a slight improvement.... it's been almost 3 mths since my last treatment... n guess what it actually works.... not 100% but about 60-70%... so bottom line is dont be disappointed and just quit if u do not see any result after your 1st or 2nd treatment... even after your last one... it's totally worth it! p.s: pls continue taking care of ur skin even after u completed ur treatments. wear sunscreen and avoid the sun!!!! eat vitamins!!

ashley, jacksonville, fl Jun 23rd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Hoping for more with successive visits. Recommended: Yes Usage: ashley has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 750.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

NotGood, UK Jun 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Can't think of any at the moment Cons: Hurts, does not work, is expensive, can leave your skin red (for a year and more!). Pigmentation problems, sensitive skin, appearance of new spots that leave new scars. Bottom Line: I had 4 treatments before I had to stop. My skin got so sensitive that I had to stop using my regular acne treatment lotions etc. Still can't use anything too strong and it's been a year since the treatments! I now have pigmentation problems and an extremely sensitive skin. After the treatments my face was as bad as it was when I was a teenager, with lots of new spots that left new scars (AND I did not get rid of the old ones with fraxel either!). The color of my face is still darker than my neck (which wasn't treated). I hoped that fraxel would help my scar issues, but I just wasted my money and now my face looks even worse. With many people praising this treatment, I just want to warn everyone, that side-effects like this can happen to you too. The doctor who treated me was reputable and knew what he was doing... it's just that the treatment doesn't work as well as we all would want it to. Good for anyone who finds fraxel to be ok. For me it was waste of money and worse. Recommended: No Usage: NotGood has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 3,700.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Bonnie, Virginia Jun 17th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Not sure yet - just had it done today. Cons: Expensive but if it works, worth it. Bottom Line: I bought a series of 3 in which I got my hands and earlobes done for free. It cost me about $3100 for three and I also purchased oxygenation treatments after each one. Did not realize that I would hurt so much but am hoping for good results. Have a great doc and based on the pain, I should have great results (lol). The doctor gave me avene spray, a liquid cleanser and bio2 cosmoceuticals balm. My husband left for Munich this afternoon so I can concentrate on healing. Recommended: Yes Usage: Bonnie has used this item for an inconsistent period of time.

Hannah, Chicago, IL Jun 10th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: almost 98% of my scars were gone, it was like i was given a new face. absolutely loved it Cons: Hurt, a lot. Took about a solid week to completely recover. MY face is still a little redder than the rest of my body now. Also, after a few weeks I was breaking out again. Bottom Line: If I could do it every month, I would. I've done 5 treatments. each one was 750. and i got the 5th for free. still makes it far too expensive to keep doing. Recommended: Yes Usage: Hannah has used this item for a few months.

Francis, Sydney, Australia Jun 4th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Considering I have only been once, i'm yet to experience any pros. I have olive skin and obviuosly, it is harder to treat acne scars Cons: It may just be me, because i'm ALWAYS analysing my skin, but there seem to be a couple of extra scars on my cheeks Bottom Line: Well, i'm 24, and only in the past 6 months have acne scars overridden my cheeks. To think that i used ot have amazing healthy skin and now this makes me extremely self-conscious. I have had one Fraxel treatment almost 2 months ago with no improvement what-so-ever. I have spoken to my Cosmetic Dermatologist about it, and she deeply recommends patience (something i unfortunately lack). I have another session booked the day after tomorrow, and i will politely ask her to amp it up a little. i really want to start seeing results! I need to feel attractive again! I'm praying to works, and i will get back to you all in a few days Recommended: Yes Usage: Francis has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 1,800.00 Was this comment helpful?

Stephanie, Salt Lake City Jun 2nd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works beautifully! Cons: Come on people, I would have walked through fire to get rid of my acne scars, so really what are the cons? Itching tight skin,a little swelling that actually fills out my face nicely and I kindof like that-I won't complain about any of it. Bottom Line: Here are tips for getting through fraxel with better results and I promise you this works. This cleared up my after fraxel breakouts and those pin-point bumps in about two days. It makes skin glow and tightens and softens pores and scars. Wash your face with plain baking soda and water. Do not scrub. This will naturally exfoliate the skin as it cleans and balances the ph levels. Next, in a very small bowl put together equal parts of the following: Honey, cinnamon and sea salt, and then just a splash of ORGANIC apple cider vinegar and pure lemon juice. Make a paste and spread it on your face like a mask. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.Rinse face with tepid water and pat dry. Spritz face with Organic Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.Dilute in a little water if it stings.Leave it on the face. Next drink 1 Tbls. Organic ACV in a little water (chase with more water cause its yucky). Do this morn. and night. This works from the inside out. See "earth clinic" on the web for more inf Recommended: Yes Usage: Stephanie has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 2,500.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

crickett, atlanta, ga Jun 2nd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My scars were mostly on the cheeks and temples, mostly rolling with a few ice pick. I can see a big difference. My settings were high and I did take pain medicines. I was told the final result will not be seen for 6 months. Very encouraged. Cons: I had redness and swelling for 2 days, puffy eyes for 3-4 days. I had a lot of heat in my face for about 1 hour after the treatment. Flaking was bad the 3rd day but then skin was great. Lots of moisturizer used. Bottom Line: My MD has a lady RN that does packages( 3 treatments for 3300) and does a lot of the acne scar patients. She seems to be very knowledgeable about the treatments and also how it works to do what it is suppose to do. I have 2 more scheduled and look forward to them. I recommend it to all my friends, even those that dont have scars, as the literature says it helps with texture,fine lines and pigmentation.
