so...i finally had my fifth fraxel and have completed my 'package deal'   for anyone who has had 6 fraxel #2 sessions, what are the differences you noted after 6 treatments that weren't apparent...

Does anybody know if Fraxel for acne scars will be considered as "qualified medical expense" under Health Savings Account? Has anybody done it? Thanks! i am not sure how a health savings account d...

I don't think the results on that website are the norm. I have had three fraxel treatments and almost no visible improvements on my scars. Just had dermaroller and hoping this will do something. Aft...

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...

Hi guys just wanting to let you know that I have started a new topic called 'Fraxel Results' which details my experience and results with four rounds of fraxel. I have also provided photos of my frax...

please clue me in - why is this? It has been one month since my first fraxel. I only had my cheeks done but may have my whole face done in the future. I don't have a clue as to what strength was u...

Hi there I'm really glad to hear your're happy with your treatments, it's so heartening to hear. My best wishes to you and I hope you continue seeing the results you are looking for. It's now been ...

Hello everyone Like many others, I have quietly followed all the posts here on fraxel information and eveyone's experiences with it so far. I myself had my first treatment done 48 hrs ago. My face i...

yeah im skeptical of such a device due to the fact there are no long term studies of this for example lasik eye surgery, its all a risk another example creatine, which is now found to be bad for the...

So... I've got my second Fraxel SR1500 tomorrow morning. Kind of looking forward to it but also dreading the upper lip being done. That was pretty much the most painful part of the whole procedure, ...

Second day after my Fraxel SR1500 and I'm getting some slight crusting or "zingers" on some areas of my face, mostly around my chin... I think they were much more aggressive this time than they were w...

how painful is it, and how unsightly is the healing process? it says flaking, redness.. but how much> i only let my parents see me for 4-5 days afterwards. my face swells way too much for me to...

Hi zonk, I live in Europe, and there are still very few doctory who offer Fraxel at all over here... I don't even know if there is a doctor that offers Fraxel 1500 somewhere at a reasonable distance f...

out of everyone that gets fraxel on here only like 10% of them report back. i see alot of people saying im gonna update every day ect ect, but when it comes down to it they just dissapear. i can o...

because of the lack of perspective and overwhelming negativity, and what i need for myself and my own journey with this procedure (and my feelings about my skin) is quite the opposite -- getting fact...

Well, I think I am doing the wrong treatment. Most people I have talked to hear have very minimal or superficial-shallow scarring and that's really what this treatment is for, people who have good ski...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a year or had another Fraxel since. I did visit my Doctor last week since I had 2 left in my package. I'll end up finishing the packages when she gets the new fraxel ...

Update: I am 2 weeks post my 4th fraxel 2 (last one was 45MJs) ... i am seeing very good improvments.. (no exageration) .. my next one is in 2 weeks .. my skin seems to be getting better every day so...

JJP007, I'm of asian descent too, with the strong settings ur doc did for you, did you have hyperpigmentation after fraxel? Because I seem to have the tanning effect and it stayed on until my next t...

Blue Morpho - sounds like your doc is really going aggressive on you - are ur scars heavily pitted? i was actually thinking it wasn't as aggressive as i'd like, though my scars are all rolling/shall...

so for my third treatment, my "downtime" was a day shorter (4 and 1/2 days instead of 5 and 1/2). i am also not as dry after peeling. during the downtime and peeling stage i was much oilier than after...

i had my third treatment yesterday (mine have all been about 4 weeks apart). i definitely noticed a mild improvement prior to this treatment -- less depth to a few of my scars and also a small patch o...

I am still waiting on the Dr. to get the Fraxel 2. For those who have had both, how does the down time compare with the Fraxel 2? I was thinking of taking 3-4 days off work plus the weekend. Also, d...

What i'd really really like to know, because it's fairly annoying, is why pretty much NOBODY is posting progress pictures? All these people posting to this thread and no recent pictures? Wtf? it ta...

does anyone have a suggestion for aftercare that would prevent peeling around the mouth from happening too quickly? i realize this may be impossible to prevent. both times i have done fraxel now, the ...
