Has anyone asked their doctor if Fraxel permanently (or temporarily) damages the oil glands?   The Reliant webinars says it does. Over many treatment I worry that we might trade acne scars for d...

Uh huh. LOL.

Moisturizering twice a day is a poor substitute for a constant sebum production.   Children do have problems with eczema and dry skin. Why do you think eczema is most common in babies?   Br...

Saying that sebum doesn't moisturize the skin is misleading.   No, sebum doesn't actually add moisture to your skin. What it does do is create a lipid barrier. This waterproofs the outer most la...

I'm a regular acne.org-er, but I found this thread via google.   I have the same problem as you Jake   I had mild acne and was on Accutane at high doses. I had to stop my course due to such...

Stay away from IPL. It gave me such bad acne I had to go on Accutane.

ur scars will come back after swelling subsides in a few weeks. collagen remodeling takes months to a year. unless you are a comic book character like wolverine LOL. are you wolverine maybe?

its in almost every lotion or cream. i wouldnt think so.

im not just suggesting it cause "vitamin C cures everything". if you look it up you will see that vitamin C is actually an essential catalyst in the formation of collagen.   you really do have t...

FDA won't let them sell it for humans unless it's manufactured in a factory that meets certain federal regulations for safety. To do that requires major capital.   Since ACell was sued by Cook t...

so many things influence response. from the initial severity of your scar to environmental and lifestyle choices.   a few things you can do are exercise, adequate sleep, increase protein intake,...

Some guy on that forum got vet grade Acell and healed his stretch marks!!   I'm not to crazy about the idea of creating an open wound to heal a stretch mark. But it's better than the standard "no...

impossible to read such long rambling posts . . .

JJP007 makes a good point, about your fraxel operator (nurse, tech, doctor, pa).   Acne scar treatment requires different protocols than wrinkle or melasma treatment. Make sure to ask during you...

I think epidex is mentioned in earlier pages. Run a search!

It has been 2 weeks after my 1st Fraxel 2. I see almost no improvement not only in the big icepicks but also in the very small enlarged pores. Is that normal? Anyone can share experience after your 1 ...

stop drinking milk. milk comes from pregnant cows. pregnant mammals have super high levels of hormones, and the IGF hormone in cows and humans is identical so when it gets into ur system it acts the s...

It seems that getting temporary acne is the norm after fraxel treatment for acne scarring.   Is there anyone here who HAS NOT had acne after fraxel?

There's something I think we are all forgetting. If regeneration comes to fruition and is one day available then we might run into a paradox. Regenerating lots of scar tissue on the face would also re...

Thought about making a new thread for this, but I think it is appropriate in here.   I think it's great that Juvista isn't even out yet and people are already patenting alternate ways to inhibit ...

someone should email that reporter who had acne after fraxel. tell her to take antibiotics like the rest of us!
