alphabetic 0 Share Posted May 26, 2007 How significantly better is the SR1500? Purely from observation, the older replies posted in said "fraxel thread" suggested an overall improvement of their scars, utilising Fraxel 1. According to many newer posts, it appears alot of people are disatisfied, particularly with the use of the newer machine. Corect me if I'm wrong.I had my first fraxel a fortnight ago (SR750) and am scheduled for my second in two weeks. Am I wasting my time and money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alphabetic 0 Share Posted May 27, 2007 No one really has finished their course of treatments w/ Fraxel 2, so it's hard to tell how much better it is than Fraxel 1. You are not wasting your money w/ Fraxel 1, but I would definitely see if you can find a doctor who has the second version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fraxelface 0 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I had the fraxel 2 with new settings (still with blue dye but new software) on Tues. I am redder longer than with the previous 2 at lower settings, but I also can see the grid pattern on my face more. There were less passes since higher settings (in some areas 50/10, but most 40/10-12). I could see some pixels before, but moreso with the new setting and more of a grid effect. Anyone else notice that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
