  Bill : Am glad you are seeing some improvement with Dr. Dhawan. I know, at times, scar treatments test one's patience and perseverance. Fraxel at the last, sounds like the right way. I wish yo...

  Am visiting acne.org and fraxel thread after a long time. I am not doing / seeking to do any treatment and quite happy with my skin today. I was reading some latest posts in this thread.  ...

  Billyboy : As you say, it's difficult to conclude right now. You would experience that in next 4-6 weeks, skin changes everyday as it heals. Also, this is my analysis : for Fraxel, smaller the ...

  HellzAngel : I don't think it is a good idea to do TCA CROSS along with Fraxel. If you are going to be treated with high settings, you will not fully recover from the treatment for atleast 3 we...

Noona, Rupert, BuddhistPunkDrifter :   This is the thread that has video explaining dermal grafting.     There are a few reasons why area behind the ear is chosen as donor site :  ...

  Billyboy : My doctor used 250 density till 14. My last two treatments were 15/125 and 18/125 with 8 passes.  

lulu : yes, am asian too. My first treatment was at 8/250. I did total 8 treatments and setting of my last treatment was 18. My doctor did warn me everytime about hyperpigmentation after we went over ...

  Incognita : Triluma is a prescription bleach. You can read more about it on www.triluma.com What I like about it is, it has steroid, fluocinolone acetonide besides retinol and hydroquinone 4 % ...

COOLBREEZE22 Thanks for ur reply.. I have one small chicken pox tended scar in my forhead, which i want to fix, i tried fillings such as subcision and ryslane but didn't help much for this scar .. ...

  Cobra : I have experienced complete filling up of shallow indentations left after dermal grafts. Also, other small / shallow scars are fully filled except two which still look slightly depresse...

  JJ : They definitely look smoother two or 3 inches from the bathroom mirror.   Billyboy : The kind of hyperpigmentation am experiencing is, intermittent light brown patches and dark brown ...

  JJ,   I certainly agree that a picture presents more objective info and is worth thousand words but am still working on my hyperpigmentation and will not consider my Fraxel treatment done ...

  Like always, I felt baffled after reading new high setting #s and to get more sense out of it, I called tech support of Reliant to confirm. So, directly from horses's mouth.....   The Fra...

  Hi Rupert,   I tend to think, if rolling scar is big enough, it can be filled with a dermal graft. Feel free to ask anything specific question that you may have. Otherwise, there was a th...

  It's 8.5 weeks since my last Fraxel and I went for evaluation yesterday. This is my update :   Good news is, I have seen a vey good improvment in scars and pores....I would say around 55-6...

any one please!! is subdermal fat graft permenant? ""IT IS TAKING PEICES BEHIND THE EAR AND REPLACE TO THE SCAR"" anybody has done it before ? what is your percentage of improvment ? How mu...

  Billyboy,   am always up for a logical debate and open to be convinced if a strong / valid argument is given.   If scars have more depth and / or are moderate to severe, it is definit...

  I was reading articles that were posted. It's certainly nice to know that overall sentiment about Fraxel is positive. But regarding treatment parameters mentioned, am not sure how seriously / l...

  am currently treating hyperpigmentation after 8 fraxel treatments. I did spot treatments ( only cheeks, nose and some part of forehead ). I think 10 % figure is underplayed. I started seeing h...

maguy, it is okay to spot treat with TriLuma. I don't think, it will cause discoloration. It's a very strong ( and in my experience quite effective ) bleach. So, if you decide to apply on whole face, ...

  maguy, am using it on full face but I guess, it is okay to spot treat expecially if you are using it in between treatments. I don't think, it will cause discoloration if you are going to use it...

  I am keeping a hectic schedule so didn't check the forum for a while.   This is my update :   It's been 4 weeks since my last treatment. My skin still has brown bronze tan and I have ...

am an asian Indian woman and 3 weeks post my 8th Fraxel treatement. Am skin type III, have same color and tone you are talking about ( fair yellowish goldenish which looks great if one has flawless an...

  Blaster - I certainly agree that treatment levels would depend on depth and severity of scarring. As long as skin can safely heal from high settings, there is no harm in using them and going de...

  In my doctor's office, they always use Dawn dish soap to remove blue dye which works pretty well. Apart from that, they also recommend using Neutrogena transparent facial bar which takes away a...
