I am becoming obsessed with two large scars on my cheekbone. They have not really responded to anything…fraxel, needling, TCA cross (once), micro pen…well, maybe they have a little. So hard to tell. E...

Hey Danny - I hate the look of cakey makeup on skin, so I try to find things that will look like I'm not wearing anything. So, haha, I'm not a guy, but as far as makeup goes, I get wanting to look as...

I would feel the same way about seeing the sister. This is about the emotional and psychological effects of acne, right? The effect is that it's nice to connect with someone (via text and email) witho...

I used to be really good friends with this brother and sister, like 30 YEARS AGO. I knew them from the time I was 11 until I was 16. Before my skin exploded and left me with scars and pores (and now ...

CrispyCraters - Want to try your protocol and am in the process of ordering your recommended supplements. Quick question: I am seeing L-phenylalaline as well as D-phenylalaline and DL-phennylalal...

Yes, the smaller pic is the "after". Wish the pics were both the same size. It would be more accurate. I think that when my face is de-shined it also doesn't look as bad, but I was trying to create an...

from what I've read, needling the nose can be risky business (unpredictable). If you plan to do it, use with caution because there is a chance it might look worse than before. Would you mind linking...

Haha. yeah, until my hair moves.

Hi all. I used to post here all the time, but haven't been back in a long time. Not because I've had scar resolution, but bcs I got discouraged. Quick background...I did fraxel when it first came out,...

Thanks! I found three doctors in NY. Actually booked a consultation for the beginning of July with Orentreich. The consultation fee is steep, but I'm desperate to get the ball rolling. Can I ask who y...

I've been looking into subcision too, for some bound down boxcars....but I can't find anyone that does it!!! HOw did you find a doctor? Am I using the wrong google combination of words???

Hi Matt - great info on this thread! Thank you for continuing to visit it and answer questions. My issue is that I cannot find a doctor that performs subcision!! ANy tips for tracking one down?? From ...

Would love the name of your doctor, as I am having a hard time locating a doctor that will do subcision. WOuld you PM me please??

I know what thread you are talking about...don't know where it is. The recommended Prescriptives Wrinkle Filler applied with a toothpick. Never had luck with the technique. Primers can help. Love to ...

Annde and others, I too had VISIA and the Dr is no longer doing this after discussing my results below with Reliant. For some reason, my scores went down. Sorry for the formatting as I simply pasted...

I had a consultation for Fraxel in December. The aesthetician who did the consult said that for my scarring (which I think is mild/moderate), Fraxel should really be effective, esp. considering my ag...

Hey Gang, I have my fraxel #2 update and a couple survey questions for the regulars. It hurt a lot more this time, and I was a lot more red and swollen after this treatment than the first. It will be ...

Billyboy, L and Troubled Skin- I have posted pictures of myself that best show my olive skin tone. Perhaps this will help with the setting suggestions advice for both Fraxel laser types. I apprecia...

My pitted scars always looked worse for a couple of days after treatment.

WOw, billyboy, that is great! I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts a couple of weeks out. I've dropped the ball on fraxel. You may remember that I underwent four treatments last year. I consid...

Wow, that's fantastic!! I'm so glad you're seeing some REAL results. I only had the four fraxels, and my improvement is (6 months out) still a little hard to put my finger on. Nothing has disappeared...

That's what they're charging in podunk COnnecticut too. Crazyl.. And it's the first machine. You'd think they'd come down in price by now! Guess they don't do enough of them and are still trying to p...

Wow, cubs, I'm glad you talked to your doctor. You really are a pioneer for all of us. Is no one else getting the new fraxel?

Some of the values are better if lower (UV spots and porphyrins: scores represent the number of individual skin features detected). Higher scores are better for texture, wrinkles, spots and pores. Th...

Hi all. Haven't posted on this thread in quite awhile. But thought I'd post some encouraging news. I had the Visia imaging taken when I was about 1 1/2 months out from my last fraxel treatment (or w...
