betterliving 0 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking of having my second Fraxel: Repair done sometime this year hopefully. Does anyone know of a highly recommended doctor in Texas? Or had great results themselves with a Texas doctor? I'm particularly looking for someone who would be willing to use a moderate to higher setting to achieve better than average results. I would really appreciate any information. Thank you. Edited March 2, 2014 by betterliving Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, multiple treatments are necessary for solid results regardless of what you do. Dudley is a big advocate for Fraxel Repair, and he has seen significant improvement after 3 or 4 treatments (I forget exactly how many.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shelbyville 4 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Can you share your experiences on Fraxel? Edited March 3, 2014 by Shelbyville Quote Link to post Share on other sites
betterliving 0 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I had the Fraxel Repair done once and I noticed only small improvements. It wasn't done at a higher setting so I still think it could achieve much better results if it was done at a more intense level. With my scarring, which I guess would be in the moderate range, I think I could get more noticeable results with one or two treatments at the higher setting.

Shelbyville 4 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I glad to hear that, good luck betterliving! I hope you achieve your goal but please beware it might be dangerous. I've heard bad things about fraxel, most of all Fraxel's highest settings. I'm not a specialist, I'm only saying you should be careful and self conscious. What is the type of your scars? Are they severe? Moderate? Have you done any research on Fraxel? I hope it helps, Shelbyville Edited March 3, 2014 by Shelbyville Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robertitoo 311 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You're paying 2-5k for small results? Not worth it man. If your scars are rolling just dermaroll and hope for the best. Or save a buck or two and get subcision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ablative kind or the non-ablative kind?

betterliving 0 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Fraxel: Repair is the ablative kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle Reece 134 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Fraxel: Repair is the ablative kind. Did you go on the low/conservative settings? Also, do you know of realself.com ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
betterliving 0 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I don't remember the exact setting the doctor used, but I do remember it was a low setting. It was lower than the setting that Dudley from this board had when he underwent the procedure multiple times. He's talked a lot about his setting being the optimal level, in his experience, for noticeable improvement. I know of realself, but I don't see that many Fraxel reviews of Texas doctors.

I'm guessing you'd need at least 2 more to notice improvement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
betterliving 0 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I was hoping I could find a doctor that is known for using a higher setting or I could ask the same doctor to go to a higher setting. Edited March 4, 2014 by betterliving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
