Hey guys, I'm on day 14. Skin is less red. I'm still flaky. Not seeing much improvement. What type of moistuerizer do you guys use? I've tried aloe vera, it is pretty dry and makes my skin feel t...

How close do you believe the dermatologists, doctors and scientists are to a cure for acne?   I believe it may be 5-10 years before we have something that makes acne go away forever. What do you ...

Here is something else interesting I found. Not related to fraxel, but a couple of people on this thread said they had clogged pores:   Title: Find More Like This[sebaceous filaments (author's tr...

OK I just saw ur reply on the last page. Tazorac? That is a potent retinoid. Many people have been told by their doctor to discontinue using topical retinoids for at least two weeks prior and during t...

Hard to gauge how much improvement you got from those two fraxels since the before pic is also before 4 excisions.   I have't had two fraxels, but I can still see improvement in your pictures! &...

Isn't Obagi a peel? How can you do that so soon after a Fraxel??   Did Kovak say "Fraxel" or "Fractional Resurfacing"? (The first is trademarked but the latter is a term like "photothermolysis" ...

I've only read up to 60 pages on this forum. It is simply too long. I've also done research and readings. I still like to keep updates on here whenever I see changes on my skin though. It might b...

you dont have to moisturize, but it will aid your recovery. besides calming and protecting your skin while it heals it will probably help soothe any pain.   did you have active acne during time ...

thanks for the definition of a whitehead. but that is misleading. a whitehead is mostly pus from your white blood cells attacking bacteria. a blackhead is more like the definition you posted (except o...

as for breakouts. your doctor SHOULD have prescribed an antibiotic to take while you recover. esp if you are acne prone (which all of us with scars are duh!). most people on this board were prescribed...

Confusing; there is a new software interface with the fraxel SR but several people have said their doctor had to get a whole new machine because the fraxel 1 is not upgradable.

CM77 and others:   I think the pinpoint bleeding is influenced by a few things. Obviously the depth of penetration is a factor, but I think the density of the MTZs and the number of passes also i...

I think goblin may have had the lux1540. she had "the new fraxel" 6 months ago in baltimore with no dye. she said it was called 1440 though.   i'll look on the reliant site and see what is says ...
