U said earlier that the laser is the equivalent of a fraxel repair, why are you taking then once a month? Is that enough time?

It was actually 2 months.

Everything I've read says that fractional c02 can be repeated at that time for acne scarring.

I will be having the Mixto Fractional Laser procedure in a week. Dr. William Ting, San Ramon, CA
Lots of experience with this laser treating acne scars/faces.

I will be sedated with IV to help with the pain.

Had the Mixto SX Fractional CO2 Laser procedure late Thursday, Dec 22nd. Dr. William Ting said he had to be very, very aggressive with my scars, ie very bad and had all setttings on "full on" high levels. I had a shot of demerol and three anti-anxiety meds but it hurt in areas with light skin thickness like around the eyes/forhead. I was squriming in the chair and grinding my teeth but held on ok for the intense periods.

He concentrated on lower lid skin laxity and some wrinkles and of course the rolling acne scars.
It is 36 hours later and I am very red and swollen; use cleanser and healing ointment every 3 hours.

Plan to go back for some fillers of some wrinkles on cheek, crows eyes, and nasal/mouth lines in 2 weeks.

$2600 first with 30% discount on future sessions if needed.

Done. Not sure what to think myself yet. I can say for sure that things feel smoother with my fingers, but on the looks side I'm a bit nonjudgmental as of yet.
