Have you noticed your skin has been drier though? Less oily? i'm not dry but not oily. it's like it's the perfect balance, actually. since it's not the dog days of summer yet though i can't really s...

Do the webinars say Fraxel permanently or temporarily damages oil glands? One webinar said it can permanently damage them. Another said it can target them and inhibit oil production. A foxnews cast ...

Well I had 3 Fraxels at 40mJ and I had like 5% improvement MAX on my brown spots which look similar to melasma. I don't have any deep scars, they're all smooth. I'm not spending ANY MORE money on it...

bluemorpho are you sure it is less effective if gap between treatment is long? I was told no. I am getting them done far far apart de to $$ i was told that 2-4 weeks is optimal and you don't want to...

I am twenty something and have several 3-4-year-old icepick or rolling scars on my nose. These scars have never been treated. My doctor suggests me to have 6 Fraxel 2 treatments and 1 CO2 laser treatm...

Hi Effu, Do you get hyperpigmentation problems with treatment at such high levels? I have had 2 fraxels with SR1500 so far both at 40mjs, 12 passes, level 7. and I noticed that I have certain areas ...

effu: I wanted to go high but my derm told me I swelled so much he couldnt go higher. 🙁 i swell *insanely* but it's the same amount of swelling each time, regardless of the treatment level. 35 and 5...

Zonk it looks like you are very experienced at fraxel I've had 5 fraxel treatments so far and I'm going for my sixth next month, this time though I'm only going for a spot treatment on my cheeks. My...

Good to hear of your success! I have found good results with tea tree oil too, although it is a spot treatment more than a preventative one. I still wish I had a preventative... Did you modify your di...

what percentage would everyone say for this person? Well, not too many responses. I hope everyone looked at the pics and formed an opinion as to percent improvement. I'd say its an 80% improvemen...

on my shallow rolling scars i think it improved about 5% after my 3 fraxels. I was counting on 50%. How long has it been since your last fraxel? The bulk of my improvement came 3-4 months after my ...

jayhawk, it just occurred to me to ask you if your test area was on your cheek or cheekbone -- the areas that hurt most are over bone...like the bridge of your nose, upper lip (where the bone is), and...

Thanks Zonk .. that's what I'm worried about although the doctor said that I can get 50-80% improvement, and he is one of the best doctors in town. I'd be really disappointed if I don't see much impro...

SO I'm planning to get Fraxel 2 done on a Friday afternoon. What is the REALISTIC chance that I can go back to work on Monday without people noticing my face is all red and swollen? I would say litt...

yeah i was refering to the detail and great lighting of ravs pics. cant wait to see more over the course of treatment. so people get those large MENDs even with lower treatments? its amazing they don...

Hi Fivetotenyear, I am not being a wet blanket but those picture of Rav are taken directly after he had his first fraxel for a few days. Those are very misleading photo if you have not had fraxel ...

I'm getting my fourth fraxel this friday in Houston. Anyone, who is post Fraxel one year or so, had any success stories? Also, anyone else experience any long term tanning? It appears as though my sk...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had widening of the pores or weird skin texture due to the fraxel laser. I am considering fraxel for 3 shallow rolling scars and would really hate it if my pores enla...
