When can you expect to start seeing improvment in your scars after you start fraxel? Thay say not until after your 4th treatment and from all the people on this thread who've had it done, that see...

Becareful with that stuff. It can be harsh to the skin at first. You might want to space it out over several days so that your skin gets used to it.

What else take away the redness after fraxel? Any kind of lotions you know of? I am bright red and I want it to go away now! Please help.

Today I had my 3rd treatment. So far I think this was the best one. The engery level was at 17mj. Looks like a nice and even treatment. Doctor said I am respsonding very well to the treatment. He was ...

I had my 4th on Thursday and I am still so red and horid looking. I'm so sick of this! I look like shit, I can't go anywhere, and my face hurts! My skin is so cracked around my mouth that if I open...

Have any of you heard if it is recommended not to get Fraxel done while you have a tan? Would the results differ if you got it done while you have a tan? Also, anybody try this place or here anythin...

Had my first fraxel 18 days ago, performed by Dr.Rapaport. 1st session: $1500 : 19mJ x 125density x 10passes 2nd session: $1500 3rd session: $1500 4th session: Free 5th session: $750 Average...

After and in between fraxel treatments, is it ok to go back to Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide? Yes it is. My doctor told me to wait at least 5 days. Then you will be good. That's what I do.

I just had my 2nd fraxel treatment. The settings were the same as before. The doctor was really pleased with the 1 month result. He stated I was responding very well to the treatment. Hopefully I will...

Question 🙂 I know a lot of you have had the fraxel laser treatment and I was just curious about numbers. My dr said I cld have up to 70 percent improvement, but of course it is probably just talk... ...

Hey You - How would you rate your improvement? These studies report more improvement than what I am seeing. There is a period after each treatment, I would not call it swelling, where my skin is ver...

Has anyone seen improvements with just ONE session of fraxel? I've seen some. My scars look softer and the tone of my skin is a bit more even. Plus the skins seems a bit softer. I hope it's a resu...

I read about him. I am worried that in one of your earlier posts you said his sister only promised you 15% inmprovment. Is he willing to do higher levels?? Thanks. Dr. George Anterasian is in San...

Thank you all for being very helpful. I have saved up some money and I want to try fraxel. Does anyone know of a good doc in the SOCAL area. i live in LA but am willing to drive a bit. I have struggel...

Hey guys, I just got my first fraxel session. I am Chinese. My settings were at 14mg 125density. He went over my face couple times, 4-6 ? The pain was almost unbearable sometimes, especially the for...

Lucy That 6 years is bad news to me; hope it is wrong. I have worried about this, because once I get healed, I want to return to my many sun/outdoor activities and have been worried that the extra s...

Are the results permanent? I just read an article on Fraxel that stated that the results last about 6 years and that your skin (same depressions/scars and all) becomes pretty much identical to what it...

Hello Everyone! This is my second time to visit this thread. The people posting on this site seem very helpful and informative. I am here because I have 1 icepick scar, 2 boxcar scars, and 1 rolli...

I went to see my derm today, and he was talking about the new Fraxel they're using. Most people do not even use the numbing cream! No more injections. He said the pain level at the old Fraxel leve...

Hi, It's been about a week since my third fraxel. So far still quite red, swelling has subsided. I have started peeling and I have to say the skin peels are a bit larger than they were before. Have t...

Hey You There is discussion of what constitutes a pass and total energy in the preceding 2 or 3 pages of this thread. Scarring is subjective. But, the lighter the more reason to be conservative. T...

Hey You - Depends on # passes. Total energy equals 16 mj x 125 density x # passes. If you had 6 passes that would be about where I started. In hindsight it was too low as I could have tolerated mu...

Coolbreeze - I reread part of a PDF doc from Reliant site titled Fractional Resurfacing in Plastic Surgery. Abtstract on page 7 mentions 900 microns (?) as max depth. Thought you might want to know. ...

It feels very rough. ITs been 2 weeks since my first fraxel. It was fairly rough for most of that, almost scaly, dry and cosntantly peeling. Peeling is almost minimal still red in the face. But my ski...
