I had my first treatment on Tuesday and it hurt a bit more than I had anticipated. Not the actual treatment itself, which was pretty fast, but the burning feeling afterwards. Yesterday was hard, t...

i too pray that my skin would heal faster and produce collagen galores. hey, quick question to those who had fraxel done before, is it effective for ice picks scarring? amen and let's hope it doe...

I'm a week out now. I didn't peel AT ALL. I was definitley a little sandpapery, and couldn't use make up because of the dry skin, but no flaking or peeling to speak of. My first treatment was at level...

I'm on accutane. Going on 5 months. My acne is totally clear. The scars do not make me happy though. Low level light sucks. I should be taking accutane another month or so. What are the recommen...

Hi everyone. I just signed up for 4 fraxel treatments with Dr. Parker here in Denver. I'm starting on March 9 and getting them each only 1 week apart, so I will already have had all 4 by the end of ...
