The place where I'm being treated only does full face Fraxels, but it seems like someone on this board mentioned being only treated on a problem area. I don't think many places would do partial face F...

Not only that, but I can also see that the skin itself looks healthier all over. Ever since I started getting Fraxels I have been obsessively looking at my face in the mirror, so I couldn't trust my o...

OK, I have been looking at the photos closer now and I DO see some improvement. Especially on the temple right next to my eye. Even the large scar has softened up a bit. It's not a figment of my imagi...

The most obvious thing from my pics is that I am one ugly mofo.

Well, they won't show no matter what I do. I can't upload them and I can't embed them as an image. If you want to see them I guess you will have to cut n paste the url.

HughB, I think you should wait for about 4 or 5 more months. I didn't start to see results until quite a few months after my last Fraxel and yes, it was a slow going softening of all the scars . It h...

OK, I got my right profile before/after pics. However, I can't get them to upload. I get the spinning circle telling me that it is uploading and after a couple of minutes it stops and says no attachem...

I just called the office to have my photos emailed to me and I can tell they don't want to do it, or else they simply don't know how. I find it hard to believe I'm the first patient there who has ever...

No, I haven't had subcisions.

I'll call the office on Monday and ask them to email me the pics. I'll post them soon after that.

I just had my fifth Fraxel done, and the surgeon has said he will stop the Fraxels and wants me to come back in a month for a fat injection consultation. The Fraxel did pretty much nothing for the sca...

people DO take antibiotics during fraxel......i took them thru the last 4 fraxels......people are upset not by taking the antibiotics, but are scared about how long they will have to take the antibiot...

I just looked at my face in the mirror, and I have more MENDS this time than ever before. I get more MENDS after each treatment. The first time I only had a few on my temples, the second time on my wh...

My RNNP said they are Percocet - I think Percocet is made from the same drug as Oxycontin, but I'm not sure.

I should add: I'm a 42 year old male with moderate to severe scarring. I don't have acne anymore, although I get occaisonal pimples. My skin is pale white.

I just had my fourth Fraxel. (I'm using Fraxel Re:Store) The pain on this one was more intense than the others, apparently it can be more painful with each subsequent session as the skin is regenerati...

Before/after pics from Fraxel brochures show that people with icepick scars got the least amount of improvement. Also people with darker skin got less improvement than people with lighter skin.  ...

It's been 8 days since my first Fraxel Re:Store. The swelling is gone. I think I can see some improvement already in the scars on my cheeks, but I don't know if maybe I have an over-optimistic imagina...

Oh yeah, wanted to add one more thing. I notcied someone asking about blackheads in this thread way back at the begining. I noticed that the blackheads that were on my nose are gone, I assume the lase...

Hi all, new to the board. I started reading this thread at the begining but gave up after about ten pages when I realized the posts were a couple of years old! Anyway, I had my first fraxel yester...
