If billyboy is out there, can you say specifically why you prefer the SR1500 in terms of actual results? In the meantime, I'm digging though old posts.

I haven't been on for a while. I've had a couple of fraxel treatments with the old fraxel. Can anyone recommend a doctor in the L.A. area who has the new one (SR1500)? What exactly is the difference?

I've had only one treatment (next one scheduled for Thanksgiving), but I just want to put out there that there can be residual swelling for weeks afterward. Noticeable swelling for me went down after...

Hmm. I was going to schedule my second fraxel, but now hearing the mixed reviews I'm seriously considering cutting my losses and getting something else done--or waiting until I can find someone with t...

I went ahead and had a fraxel treatment. It is pretty depressing seeing yourself look good right after and then about a week later all the ugliness re-emerges. I have not had a breakout for maybe 8 mo...

Billyboy, the energy levels I used were pretty high too. If I remember, it was 16, 19, 20, and 24 with spot treatments at 24 and 30. It hasn't been long since your last treatment though, so you stil...

Oops, sorry, I just posted an empty reply by accident.   Peach pie, thanks for the encouragement. The staff really wouldn't care what I do to my face, but my colleagues definitely would. I work ...

The periodic time off from work needed may preclude me from getting fraxel, which is unfortunate, or it may just have to take a couple of years to get all the treatments I need. Hi Medusa: I unde...

I've had 3 fraxels so far. The first one was at a low setting so I only took a Friday off and went back to work on a Monday. The second one was over Memorial Day Weekend so I took Friday off and and w...

Of those who have gotten a full or almost full series of fraxel treatments, would you, given the results you got, still do them over a one-shot deal like the Portrait PSR laser (the new-ish laser that...

First of all, many people here are not looking for "impeccable skin", as you say. Most are just looking for some improvement but realisitic expectations are a must. There are many things one can do t...
