simply me, ive asked about this a lot. search my posts. some say it helped, others said no, a few said it made it worse.   we've discused this. swelling with fraxel is most likely good. if you t...

do the MJ levels compare between the two fraxels? someone said their doctor told them its on a different scale . . . . can someone ask what the minimum and maximum levels are for the new one?

i agree tenntenn your scars did get significant improvment. I couldnt even see a trace of some of them in the after pics. doesnt look like your pores got much improvement though, bummer.

why are they still using the dye? it works without it

maybe your doctor will let you stop treatment until he gets the new machine. the whole point of the new machine is that it goes deeper without the pain and side effects you'd get on the old fraxel. &...

I need your help! I am really concerned that my treatments are too conservative. I have had little improvement. I need advice. Shd I continue with this doctor even tho he seems to be conservative, or...

combine this with what bluekit said about the biased observations the nurse in her study records and i dont even know what to say. its sad cause even after writing all this I'd still pretty much disre...

a good number of people reported blood spots when they used higher levels and multiple passes. i tried to research it and emailed doctors. best answer i got is that with multiple passes, at high setti...

oh sorry bluekit. one or two persons on here were in the NYC study at the skin and laser center of new york. www.lasersurgery.com is their website. that was the study with dr. geronemeus who i believe...

I wish I wasn't too afraid to have a dermabrasion. If your skin looks bad enough that u would want a dermabrasion then I would get a little spot done and see how u heal. U may heal really fast an...

Billyboy, I'm not sure of the settings my treatments have been at. I'm a research participant, and my doctor said that the levels she is using aren't the levels used for non-research participants, s...

I recall this guy here who had fraxel for his scars & he was very honest & said it was GREAT. His name was FloridaGuy I think. It had Florida in it. Check his posts. I didnt really se...

has anyone gotten worse from using Fraxel? There were two-three posters who said they thought it made their pores bigger. Two posted pics, I scrutinized them and there were only a few small spots ...

texture improved but not scars? I dont get it, everyone reports this phenomenon . . . what exactly is texture? pores? like does it make your non scarred skin seem like a baby's smooth skin?

from my experience intense pulsed light (whether you want to call it vbeam, n-light, aurora, etc.) is only a temporary solution and only for redness. as for scarring it did not thing for me, in fact i...

Guys, just to update post 2nd Fraxel, (new machine, 9/19/06): swelling continues to go down, redness is almost gone. Still flaking. :dance: My husband had the doc do an extra pass on my crows fe...

i wish people would take the time to read all the pages of this thread. we really need to make a FAQ.   dr seckel and his laser genesis is the worst thing u can do and he'll recommend it on his "...

billyboy you can put your photos on photobucket for free and put the link on here. please post them I have been waiting to see them since youfirst said you'd post them back in august!

the fraxel is an erbium laser as well (that shoots dots). from what i've read the pixel is simply a "head attachment" that works with different types of erbium laser systems, while the fraxel is a com...

OK here is something that's going to be on fox five ten oclock news about the fraxel wanna be "pixel." i had to laugh at the hype and kids in karate uniforms, but wonder how it compares to fraxel....

wow. im depressed but thanks for being honest billboy. i followed your journey from your first post.   so can you see any of the MTZs when you look very close?

look at the slideshow at reliant-tech.com. fraxel was actually intended primarily for correcting discoloration. It helps with a lot of different conditions. erbium has not had good reviews on this sit...

garcia just tells everyone to come get his laser. he also put all the answers on one static page to get as many hits as possible and make you sort through all the questions. from his website i'd say h...
