#1 cubs fan, im just curious who your Doctor is. Assuming you are in chicago as well... mine is Dr. Stein. Dr. Kovak in Elmhurst

I’m going for my 3rd treatment on Thursday. I have not noticed any difference in my skin, though I think my pore sizes are getting larger. I was at 10/125 and 12/125 for the first two treatme...

thanks for the info. did your doctor say it would have the same results because my doc said if u put the zimmer machine too close or crank it up too high your results wouldnt be as good. It's too...

#1cubsfan, hey is the new fraxel a whole new machine or just a different tip?? i had the old fraxel but in a few months i may go back in get some more done. so i was just wondering if my doc had th...

I went to see my derm today, and he was talking about the new Fraxel they're using. Most people do not even use the numbing cream! No more injections. He said the pain level at the old Fraxel leve...

Woah. My skin is CRAZY dry. I tried to wear makeup today to tone down the redness, but there is so much dry skin that it looks all caked and cracked. This is the first time it's been this dry. At lea...

I just had my first Fraxel done yesterday. It was not as painful as I thought it would be during the procedure but more tender for the rest of the day than I thought it would be. I was blue and now ...

Hi Cubsfan Any improvement in pores or scarred pores? I am noticing some improvement in shallow rolling scars after Fraxel # 2 and tighenting of skin on forehead wirnles, but this may not be permane...

i too pray that my skin would heal faster and produce collagen galores. hey, quick question to those who had fraxel done before, is it effective for ice picks scarring? IJ'm sorry to say I haven't...

It's been 4 weeks since my 4th treatment, and I still have pink skin and demarcation lines. I had all 4 treatments in about a 1 month time span though. It should go away, but you never know. Two ye...

Hi, I haven't posted yet, but as a result of reading this site, I decided to see a Dr. who does the Fraxel. He was pretty excited about it being the best treatment for acne scarring that is available ...

I just don't understand how you guys are presentable so quickly! I am about two weeks (give or take) post 2nd fraxel. I still have some redness, not a lot (my husband doesn't notice). Hope it isn't...

#1Cubsfan- so are you done?? That's six treatments for you, right? I think in hindsight that the rudiness may have been a reaction to the new sunscreen. I'm paranoid about sun exposure, but can't find...

Billyboy - yes, improvement continues for six months after the last treatment. I think what she meant is that after the second treatment is when the improvement starts to become visible. For what it...

Three weeks post my second treatment. The Assistant using the cooling machine told me that most of their patients see most improvement after the second treatment. (I was at 24, 8-10 passes) My husband...

I've read every post on this thread. The average improvement reported is 30 percent. I think the variance has much more to do with the type of scarring the patient has, combined with the fact that e...

A guy by the name of Meet Pete who used to post here did some treatments. I think 2 at 30 and 1 at 40. The 40 left him with lingering redness that I think still hasn't gone yet. He said he had no r...

I went ahead and got my 4th treatment at 24 today. It didn't hurt as bad as my 3rd, which was at 20, because I waited 3 weeks instead of 1. Also, I told them to do the spot treatments (which they do...

Just wanted to say that after many many tried and failed procedures, I decided to go for the Fraxel. My appointment on Saturday went great. My PS first numbed my face using injections. He then used...

FRECKLES? FRAXEL IS SUPPOSED TO REDUCE PHOTODAMAGE--NOT CAUSE IT!!! ARE THERE ANY OTHER SIDE EFFECTS ANYONE HAS NOTICED? PLEASE TELL ME NOW BEFORE I GO FOR TREATMENT! tmthymllgn, Don't worry, ...

Has anybody else gotten little brown spots on their face after fraxel (almost like freckles)? I've only had 1 fraxel so far and have 3 of these tiny spots. I'm wondering what's going on. Hi blueki...

at what density did he do the setting of 23 on you? 125. It didn't really hurt, but I definitely felt theheat in my face on theway home! I woke up this morning to an already browner face, some pin...

cubsfan, Have you had any indented scars completely dissappear and stay gone at 4 weeks out? I don't believe so, but I have noticed on a lot of them that collagen has filled in a lot of it, and i...
