Eric, I am not sure how many passes he made, I think he did each side a few times each different directions, like top to bottom and then side to side. By the way you described yours, you would almo...

My guess would be the Butylene Glycol. BTW, is Dr. Fitzpatrick the one in Carlsbad? If so, what does he charge for the fraxel treatment? I noticed he is on the fraxel website and would think he wou...

I am not sure what energy levels I was treated with and the tingling does seem to be subsiding, but I would still love to hear from anyone who experienced this sensation and still went on to have more...

concerning the post-fraxel breakout, when does it happen for most of you?   yesterday i started to get some new spots out of nowhere -- that is 7 days post fraxel   is this coincidence or pe...

ok so i am seriously considering getting some 'makeup' so I can go out of the house post-fraxel this week.   tell me what you think of these options:     or perhaps the lycogel which ...

just had my first fraxel with dr. fitzpatrick today. he said he is seeing much better results with acne scars now and that it isn't so much a factor of the energy setting as the total coverage. he tre...

Good luck with your fraxel treatments! I've gotten microderms done by the lady that's doing your fraxel. She's terrific, and very detailed. I should let you know that they offer lidocaine injection...
