Frax1

I've had subcision done three times now. Did anyone have more than three subcisions? I've read that a couple of doctors (Orentreich et al) recommend between three and six subcisions for optimal resul...

I wish it had dissolved it cuz it only donuted around my scars Do you have rolling or icepick scars?

Actually I had 6 fraxel Sr at the 60-70 mjs after a filler. The filler is still there from 10 months ago. It had zero effect That's good news because a couple of doctors told me that Fraxel would ...

Mr. Matt,   I believe it was a good idea to wait with the filler until after your last subcision and last laser treatment because the laser will destroy any filler that is present in the skin. Fi...

Did you have to fractional co2 or the classic fully ablative co2 laser?

He said one would need to wait until the filler is completely gone before doing the subcision.

hi, I had some fillers injected into a scar that was caused by trauma but it does look like a acne/pock scar. the filler made I say 60% inprovement but theres one area where it seems to be not ev...

Dudley, what kind of scars do you have and what improvement did you get from the dermaroller? I have a couple of rather deep rolling scars that did not improve much after six Fraxel sessions (Restore...

Dudley, did you have subcision in addition to your Repair treatment or did you think about subcision?

Did anyone have Restylane injections before or after Fraxel?  

Well, I am 12 months past my fifth Fravel in August 2007, so i guess I will post some comments since quite alot of ppl have been lamenting abt the lack of posts from ex-fraxelers. I have about 40% t...

Zonk - what % improvement do you estimate? Variation by scar type? I'd 50-75% improvement. My rolling scars have improved a lot, not 100%, but you would only notice i had rolling scars if you knew...

@boomers: Gatorman reported a 30% improvement, he had Fraxel a couple of years ago.   @delta force operators: I have rolling scars of various sizes, two of them (on my cheeks) are fairly large an...

@gatorman: If you've got 30% improvement from the old fraxel that had lower energy settings why don't you try the "new" Restore that goes up to 55 mj with almost no pain and downtime (except weekends ...

I need to wait at least three months after the 5th Fraxel because the skin continues to heal and improve in the months after the last Fraxel treatment.

AFAIK Dermabrasio goes only 0.3 mm deep, Fraxel has a maximum depth of up to 1.2 mm (at 70 mj). Dermabrasio can't go deeper because of the large wounding. With Fraxel downtime is around two days beca...

I am 3 weeks after my 4th Fraxel (the 4 treatments varied between 40 and 50 mj, treatment level 7 to 9) and I see an improvement of about 20% in scar depth. What level of improvement should I get 3 m...

@Naitch:   Would you consider treatment levels between 8 and 10 and 45mj as high enough for good results?  

@gatorman:   Did you have the "old" Fraxel with the blue dye? Which treatment level / settings did you get? I think the older Fraxel does not go as deep as the current Fraxel Restore.   Yo...

Do you remember the treatment level you had (1-10, R1-R3) in addition to the MJs (energy setting)?

@AntzinPantz: How deep were your deepest scars before your first Fraxel treatment and how deep are they now (in Millimeters)? Maybe you can give us an indication on the %improvement. What treatment l...
