I had realistic expectations of the laser in improving my scars, and that's why I'm not one bit disappointed in it. It's by no means a cure for scars but it does help significantly.

I'm 3 weeks out from my 3rd fraxel and I'm actually loving the results! I had many (about 5-7) deep saucer like scars on my right cheek and they're a bit softer and less noticeable now. But I never ha...

The scars on my temples have dramatically reduced in size since after my 2nd fraxel. They were mainly small crater looking ones (not sure what they're classified as), and they're much less noticeable ...

hughb, I think one of the reasons why you may not have seen much improvement in your skin is because of your age. At 42 years old, you produce much less collagen than when you were say 20. Also, you r...

Had my 3rd fraxel yesterday. I got variable treatment levels all over, but in the more scarred areas i got 70/8/9 or 70/9/8 (i don't remember) and for the less scarred areas i got 40/8/8 (not sure abo...

I'm just wondering.. what is the average price one can expect to pay for fraxel? Does it depend on if it's a newer or older fraxel? Do you normally pay per session or do they usually give you a price ...

Artlez and Satellaite. Thanks for the quick reply. Did you guys go through a cabin fever phase where you looked in the mirror about 50 times a day to check the redness and healing? Well...I did, I kin...

about the same for me. but the 2nd (and latest) time around i received higher settings and it still ended up having very similar downtime, i.e. 3-4 days

antibiotics worked wonders for me in reducing the severity of post-fraxel breakouts. little whitehead looking things do pop up a couple of days after treatment but they always subside within 1-2 days....

why wont they let you take a cab home? weird...   they aren't actually pain pills, they're relaxants... but they had very little affect on me at all! the pain was the same before and after i took...

i've never heard of a fraxel 3... are you talking about fraxel re:pair?

holy crap... 11 fraxel sessions??????????   wow you must be rich. haha..   i thought most people just did 5 and settled with that. any reason why you happened to do so many?   has your...

just did my 2nd fraxel treatment today... the derm went extra strong on the cheeks cos its where its the most heavily scarred. i hope i'm gonna start to see some positive changes soon!

Those who had Fraxel, did your doctor immediately cool down treated area while Fraxel? My doctor did this but I saw some Fraxel video on YouTube and it seems that no cooler was used there. Btw, it's...

If you are taking antibiotics then you should complete the dose. I was never given any medicine for my 4 fraxels. Just numbing cream and a tylenol. My doc prescribed 75 tablets for me!!!! and 4 re...

is anyone taking anti inflammatory antibiotics throughout their entire fraxel course? i'm still taking mine a week after i had my fraxel done... my doc never told me when to stop taking them lol. &nbs...

My dermo told me not to use anything active over the course of my fraxel treatments. You have to treat your skin like a bad sunburn... it's fragile and weak.   I think I might be one of the lucky...

a few weeks??? does it really take that long for the swelling to subside? geeze stupid slow skin take your time why don't ya.

I had my first fraxel done about 4 days ago and I wish my scars would stay the way they are right now!! Is it normal to have most of your scars disappear on the days following the procedure, only to h...

Wow some of you guys really have it tough. I consider myself somewhat fortunate because I've been in pretty good schools (not private schools, just selective schools) all my life, and thus haven't had...
