Hi - you said it was your 3rd and FINAL tx, does it mean you are seeing satisfying results already? I'm really curious to know since I've had 2 Fraxel2 tx spaced 2 weeks apart and I see no improvemen...

becintx, are you still around? my skin is starting to get super-oily, too. it starts out dry after my morning shower and then gets really oily by around 3. has yours gone back to normal? I've trie...

I saw my Derm today. It's been 2 months since my 2nd Fraxel 1. I have noticed improvement in texture and brightness. My face is much smoother. The Dr said she sees about 20% overall improvement in my ...

I have had break outs after both my Fraxel treatments. Not bad, but more like small white bumps and of course the red rash like bumps.   My last Fraxel was in February and due to scheduling probl...

cautiouslyoptimistic, sounds like we are on the same page.   Just got back from 2nd Fraxel 1 treatment. I told the Derm to turn it up and do more passes. It was so painful. I had 6 numbing shots...

You'll never get your derm to give you a straight answer because nothing works 100% of the time. Giving a straight answer would be like a guarantee that they'll need to be held to. Heaven forbid the...

Hey guys. I have attached a pic of the bottom of my face 2 weeks post fraxel. I am worried about the smile lines on both sides of my mouth. Will Fraxel help these or is it more in need of a filler. Wh...

Thanks to those who responded. I am now 1 week after my 1st fraxel and am finally starting to look back to normal. Still red and flakey in some places. How long does microswelling last? My scars look ...

Well, it's day 5 after my first Fraxel treatment. Yes, my Derm was aggressive (per my request) and I am still paying for it. I am not as swollen as the first couple of days, but I can't go out with th...

becintx if your doctor went agressive don't worry, that kind of swelling is totally normal. My freaky swelling lasted 3 to 4 days. AFter my 2nd Fraxel I got used to the swelling and stopped worrying...

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...

blisters forming?!?!?! I think there are 2 blisters..they are just puffy areas now, so I may be wrong..I hope I am! :confused:

Hi all. I have never posted before, but have been reading your messages for weeks now on Fraxel. Today was my first treatment for acne scars. I asked the Dr to be aggressive and boy, what she aggressi...
