| Pros | pain, get someone to drive you home so that you can have something to help with the pain during the treatment. I paid 500.00 for the Active FX and had "agressive" treatment. I was told that it does get better over a year... we will see. |
|---|---|
| Cons | downtime, itch and pain for a week, oh and a lot of showers with the water running down my face. |
| Bottom line | I hope to see the skin color blend a bit better. I may still be 'red' in certain spots that make me look uneven for now. It did pull a lot of sun damage, some of the wrinkles are already smoother... but, I still wait for my face to heal completley. I have a lot more acne and also hope this will go away. |

| Cons | Down time has been over a week, where my doctor stated I could return to work in 3 to 4 days, Not. Have one more week off work, not sure what to do after that. Red/burning/smell/pimp's/ pain... not worth the money or the time so far. |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | Don't do this. |

| Pros | None so far. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Red lines, dark skin around my mouth, ACNE break out! |
| Bottom line | I had some wrinkles and age spots I had hoped to diminish. The age spots have not faded at all (today is day 5), I have HUGE zits on my chin from the petrolatum goo I have to use to keep my skin hydrated, I have red spots and am still swollen and I was supposed to go back to work today but I just couldn't go out looking like this. Five nightmare days so far-it was a laser micropeel-it was supposed to heal over 3-4 days. If I'm stuck looking like this I don't know what I'll do. My doctor is on a vacation in the mountains and can't be reached! PLEASE CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES. I had very nice healthy skin! |

| Pros | Hopefully most acne scars will be significantly less visible. Wrinkles are gone around eyes and face..... |
|---|---|
| Cons | Depression, 5 days of laying low, doing nothing, no socialising as you look like a burns victim |
| Bottom line | I have had fraxel laser done 4 times and now have had co2 Fraxel laser done 6 days ago. Hopefully its the knock out blow with my acne scars. Face is a bit pink 6 days post, scars look like they have gone away but from previous experience once the swelling goes down they seem to creep back, so fingers crossed but so far all good. I will keep you posted in a few weeks.. |

| Pros | little down time |
|---|---|
| Cons | painful, expensive, minimal results |
| Bottom line | I haven't seen hardly any results. I have acne scars on my cheeks and I've had the full-ablative co2 before. I concider myself very realistic but I'm really disappointed in fraxel. I was told the outcome after 4 treatments would equate to the co2 results(which I already had once so I knew what to expect) and the cost was pretty much the same( around 4K). Honestly I can't see any improvement and I actually think my scars look worse. I can now see scars where I didn' t before, and my poor size hasn't changed. My forehead wrinkles are still there with no change either. I've had all four treatments and I see no change. I wish I would have spent my money on another co2. At least I wouldn't have felt any pain( fraxel is EXTREMELY painful) and I would have the results I want. It would have been worth the longer downtime. |

| Pros | Some improvement for superficial rolling scars. |
|---|---|
| Cons | No improvement in white raised scars. No improvement in medium rolling scars. Little improvement in shallow icepick scars and little improvement in surgical scars. Expensive. |
| Bottom line | I have tried 6 treatments of Affirm laser. The plastic surgeon told me that it works raised scars as well as depressed, but is turns out that it did nothing to raised scars. Very disappointed. |

| Pros | Nothing! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Did nothing to my skin, and I lost over $6000...Also my skin got extremely oily after the laser treatment. It supposes to help acne and reduce oil production according to the doctor. He just wanted to make money..I broke out. |
| Bottom line | Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!! |

| Pros | O |
|---|---|
| Cons | MY FACE BURNED FOR 3 OR 4 HOURS AFTER LASER. RED HICKY LOOKING MARKS ON MY SKIN. WAY MORE PIMPLES FORMED WITHIN 2 DAYS! |
| Bottom line | i HOPE THESE MARKS FADE AWAY BECAUSE EVEN COVER UP WILL NOT HIDE THEM AND THEY SEEM TO BE GATTING DARKER. PLEASE DO ALOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE DOING THIS. I WISH I COULD HAVE MY SKIN BACK BEFORE DOING THIS :( |

| Pros | Not long recovery. See way smaller pore size, face feels smoother and looks smoother and so far about a 50% improvement in my acne scars on my cheeks, plus stopped breaking out. |
|---|---|
| Cons | feels like bee stings while getting it done. Burns like your face is on fire for an hour or so after done, and face red and swollen for 24-48 hours, then feels tight and dry for about a week |
| Bottom line | So far so good. I paid for 5 fraxel treatments and 1 pulse light treatment. I see dramatic improvement in my skin and acne scars. The redness of them 80% lighter and the depth is about 50% lessened. I stll have to treatments to go and it supposed to take 6 months after your final treatment to see the whole results. I go next monday for the pulse light to help sun damage and skin discoloration, etc. then back for the other fraxel treatments. Bottom line so far so good, worth every penny. Will keep posted of final results |
