Is Mixto the only fractional CO2 laser that has a different handpiece, head, what have you capable of shaving down scar edges? This seems so essential for boxcar scars.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Did some of the sharper boxcars completely resolve like the rolling scars though? Sorry just want to be sure I'm understanding correctly. From your pics, it seems like ...

Hey DRaGZ, figured I'd ask another question if ya don't mind! Would you say your rolling scars or boxcars have improved more? Are the borders of the boxcars still apparent? Mine are pretty shallow bu...

Oh, One thing I'd like to add about the Repair that I do not like. I don't like how the handheld device is a rolling-type machine. The reason I dislike this is because a 60% coverage when rolling 3 in...

So it seems like the consensus among doctors is that fractional CO2 lasers are enough of an injury to incite collagen formation but not enough of an injury to cause inferior forms of collagen to form ...

That's awesome! I'm really glad you're getting results!! I was told by a derm I recently saw that he'd either do fraxel restore or dermabrasion on me, but I do have an olive skin tone so idk. Anyway, ...

you know about my recent purchase. So I caved and bought the super-expensive ($500) stem c'rum but when I think about the thousands of dollars I've already spent on other kind of treatments, it doesn'...

I applied it to a more linear boxcar type scar but silly me used a q-tip so I got the acid outside of the scar. Around the scar was red and is now more pink but the redness inside the scar has drastic...

WHAT???? Yep... I think it had some benefit... If you were to try it you would know what I'm talking about. Basically, there is scar tissue under the skin... even if its indented, and my logic was th...

Maybe that's why the results from clinical trials and studies with laser always look so good. Those doctors aren't worried about having the patient come back for more and more treatments ($$$) so they...

I'd be interested in what the woman in the last picture had done. I have similar scarring which my derm described as "mild with some moderate scarring." He told me I should try a series of Fraxel:rest...

Hi Dragz, i saw on realself that you estimated your improvement at 70% and 30%, a lot lower than you previously said on here. Have you felt like your results have gone down or was your initial observ...

Awesome, I'm so excited for you! I'm really thinking subcision helps almost all scars too. Unfortunately I live in Arizona and have found 0 doctors that perform it. They all push for lasers because so...

Waitingforacure, what type of boxcars do you have? Mine are not very deep but they are jagged and have thick, discernable walls. I still haven't found a clear answer on whether or not subcision helps ...
