I'm wondering what the highest settings have been for Asians with Type II skin tone? I'm an Asian male (Chinese descent), tan easily. My last Fraxel was at 15mJ / 125Mtz, 12 passes. Though I see some ...

Hi all!   Its been awhile since i posted on here and I havent really been able to read up on the thread. But i hope you all are well and that you're fraxel treatements and healing is going well. ...

Hi guys just an update. I had my second fraxel at 20 and had 12 passes, last month. Just went in for my 3rd fraxel. This time it was aggressive again 14 passes at energy levels 25-30. Shall keep you p...

Hi maguy,   Now that your face is fully healed, how would you rate the improvement on your scars? What type of scars did you have? And also how many fraxels and at what settings? Thanks M   ...

  Cameron I'm sorry to hear that. And yes two months is a LONG ARSED wait....but they do say full results are only noticeable 6 months after the last treatment. Not to give you false hope or any...

Billyboy- thanks. Im not too sure about bronzing with followup treatments. but just a suggestion perhaps you mite try taking supplements that help stimulate collagen growth. Therz plenty of info in ...

Hi all!   I had gotten my settings from my first fraxel all wrong. I didnt have it done at 18-20 mj as i thought. I had it between 20 and 30!!! SHOCK HORROR!!. Needless to say when i found out ...

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...

Susan, I would love to do it your way. That way you can work out if there are any nasty side effects on your skin etc. However with just one, you woudlnt see much improvement. I am going to try 3 or 4...

A question to all the fraxelers out there. How long did it take for the original texture of your skin to return. Right now there is still swelling and althought the scars are almost level with the res...

HEllo All,   How long does the sandpaper phase last?   Thanks M

Hi guys im 6 days post fraxel.....Cant believe I've been stuck it out in hibernation this long hehe.   All the dark brown/bronze skin has peeled off to reveal the raw red/pink skin that ChrissyC...

Cameron,   I had a look at your pictures and i do agree with you. But heres a thought. A lot of people who did needling and TCA cross said that the scar initially looked worse, which meant that ...

Its DAY 2 And im still HORRIBLY swollen. No going out today. OMG i cant believe they tell you, you can get back to work the next day . Maybe that applies to wrinkle patients but sure as hell not acn...

    Hi Guys, Just had my first fraxel....Had it done at Dr.Skin in Melbourne, Australia. I had the numbing cream put on and also had anaesthetic injections which helped a lot with the pa...

Hi Guys, Just had my first fraxel....Had it done at Dr.Skin in Melbourne, Australia. I had the numbing cream put on and also had anaesthetic injections which helped a lot with the pain. Honestly i fel...

ummm my understanding of fraxel is that u wind up with more collagen than u had before.     Just back from fraxel #3! Finally! I asked to see Dr. Rapaport before the blue stuff went on ...

Guys just wondering, how long does it take for the scars to slowly start popping back. From the looks of it, the whole " no recovery time" sounds like a load of BS!!! O well. And what is the avg % of ...

HI ChrissyC,   What do you mean it looks raw? Does the colour of the treated skin vary from the untreated areas initially?   Thanks M   Woah. My skin is CRAZY dry. I tried to wear ma...

it makes sense that it should help both but maybe more treatments are needed for deeper scars as opposed to the shallower ones.

Hi Roxie555, Congratulations on ur good results. U give the rest of us a lot of hope. Just wondering what settings did you use? Thanks M     I've had some really good results with fraxel. ...

Thanks Tickatocken:)

Good day fellow fraxelers.   Would all of you who have finished your fraxel treatment PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE go to the acne.org rate a treatment page and RATE and perhaps add a comment on frax...

Hi Tickatocken! Congratulations on the first fraxel and improvement. And thanks heaps for posting. Cant tell you how helpful all the information is. What medication did u use pre and post fraxel....wh...
