I have already gotten 3 of 5 fraxel dual restore treatment on one of my cheeks. I also have scarring on my other side but I have not gotten any treatment yet since I want to see the dual results first. So far I am not noticing that much improvement for deeper scars. I am not sure whether this is because of it being non-ablative or the settings they used were not high enough. The settings they used before were:
50mJ and treatment level 6
40mJ and treatment level 7
50mJ and treatment level 7
They said it was because I may have hyperpigmentation issues since my skin tone is asian. I know repair is supposed to be stronger since it is ablative but does it actually have better results than if I just got 5 restore treatments on the highest settings? Because it will have more risk and downtime. I have asked them to do it on the highest settings next time but i am thinking of going someone else and getting repair instead on my other side.
Ok, I'll likely get repair on my other side. That is a lot of repair treatments, just curious how severe was your scarring? I am hoping I would have to do no more than 2.
My scarring was severe enough to warrant Dermabrasion, Regular CO2 full face laser, and 5 Repairs. My self confidence has jumped so much because of Repair that I am the biggest advocate of Repair. My next step is plastic surgery for the effects of aging, and then possibly another Repair. I have to laugh because of one black lady at work who notices everything, and she keeps asking me if I have had Botox because she knew me before Repair. Repair works if done at high intensity, and multiple times. My last 2 full face Repairs only cost me $800 a piece. It was after my 2nd Repair that I noticed the greatest improvement so you may get by with 2. People do 1 at a low setting and then are not satisfied. Either go strong or stay home.
