For those of you who have had Fraxel, how long does the swelling last? It has been awful today (I had 1st treatment yesterday). I look very scary. I have tried to ice it, but with 2 kids running aroun...

JJP, It sounds like your doctor is willing to work with you and I think you are making the right decision to go as aggressive with your treatments as your doctor allows. If you decide to pursue Fraxe...

I am depressed and that's why I don't feel like visiting here much. Its depressing to hear about how things will get better after 3rd treatment. I didn't see any difference this time. My skin is so...

Its now 11 days since my 2nd Fraxel spot treatment for depressed scars. (Energy = 20, Density = 125, Passes = 8) The microswelling is totally gone and my scars are as prominent as ever. The edges ...

Its been over 2 weeks since my 4th treatment. I don't realli see any improvement. I still hate my skin. I can't say i'm postive right now. Will skin continue to improve after final treatment? I'm...

I have noticed that alot of you had 20 mj's on your second treatment, while i only had 18, do you think i should as the doctor to be more aggressive? I would. I started noticing a big difference on...

Cubs, how many passes in last treatment? Hi Billyboy, He did 4 on my cheeks, and 2 everywhere else. I was swollen longer this time, than any other. Must have been the 250 setting, huh?

For those who have their Fraxel treatments at least a month apart, I would like to know how long your microswelling lasted between Fraxels between treatments. Thanks!!! Annde I would say 12 da...

Downtime bothers me alot. It's like a truama to me. I feel like I am going to be one of those unlucky ones who doesn't see results from Fraxel. So scared that nothing is working for me and I have t...

I found this thread 3-4 months ago and have read all 165 pages, but have not offered comments until now. Perhaps some background might be helpful. I am 42 and suffered from cystic acne from the time I...

I have a question about the what others have experienced during their peeling process after a Fraxel. I read that when you peel, it is similar to a sunburn peel. My skin is not flaking off in large ...

Hi guys, This is day 2 after my treatment, and I'm kicking myself I didn't ice it more the first two days. It didn't hurt that much this time, and it didn't seem too bad on Friday when I came home. ...

Troubled, I will ask about calibration. I used acquafor last time, rather than vaseline, to mositurize. So, I thought this plus a tendency to flake less with successive treatment accounted for lack ...

Wild asked about Fraxel 2 (sr 1500) settings. I have only had Sr 750, but I will venture a guess. SR 1500 has 13 preprogrammed levels with increasing coverage with each level. In general, scars are...

#1 Cubs, 250 is the density of mtz per cm2, meaning that your treatment was twice as intense as at 125 density. I am a little surprised by the setting. Normally, the protocol is to reduce to 125 den...

Much to my surprise, my new doctor doesn't have Fraxel 2 yet. The nurse said they're getting it the 15th of this month. So, I had nother treatment of Fraxel 1. He did full face, level 18 on the for...

I had my 4th one done this afternoon. I believe it was at the same level as the last one as it's the highest level but my docor said he has a prototype Fraxel2 and it goes up to 45 which covers 38%, ...

Day 22 since my 1st Fraxel treatment (Energy = 20, Density = 125, Passes = 9). Spot treatment for pitted scar on nose, and ice-pick scar on cheek. My skin is still slightly pink and dry in the areas...

#1cubsfan & shyone: Could you post your settings on the signature? Congrats on your success. Keep us updated. GL w/ healing. Sure, no problem.

Hello! Thought I should drop by and give an update... It's been two weeks since my fifth and final fraxel (fraxel 2). The most dramatic improvements I've seen so far are to the lines around my eye...
