I've read every post on this thread. The average improvement reported is 30 percent. I think the variance has much more to do with the type of scarring the patient has, combined with the fact that e...

wow, 24?? thats the highest ive heard of so far.   I wish i was getting 6 done, im only getting 4 , and maybe a 5th one if i think i need it after a couple months pass by.   It sucks hearin...

your collagen is supposed to grow over time, not right away. Right now your skin is still healing.

at what density did he do the setting of 23 on you?

i know that floridaguy was saying something about improving more and more over time after his treatments.

It's been 1 week since my 3rd fraxel, and I'm not happy with the results. The treatments were at 16mJ, 16mJ, and 20mJ, each spaced 1 week apart. I have before and after pictures here: The best wa...

thats pretty expensive for a test spot.

passes are when they go once across or down your face, like up and down would be two passes.   back and forth would be two passes.     it sounds very confusing, i know, but im sure they...

hey all-     just wanted to let everyone know i just had my second fraxel.   This time we did 8 passes of 14 all over the face, and 4 passes of 18 on my more scarred areas.   I too...

i got those reccomendations too- i use cetaphil cleanser and aquaphor for the few days of dryness and flaking after fraxel.   I got the thermal stuff at the doctors office, i dont know where els...

For those who have had fraxel, did you have to ice your face afterwards to prevent swelling? My doctor told me to keep it on continuously for 48 hours. This is a real pain...and just to prevent swel...

so the cars come back?   a doc had told me that they will never go back to their initial stage.

my doc didnt say anything to me about stopping retin a , and i had mentioned to him i was using it. Does using retin A cause more pain during the procedure?

with my experience i started badly flaking and peeling on day 3 and 4, and by day 5 or 6 it was getting better and day 7 pretty much back to normal.... i was bronze/pink until day 5 or 6 i would say. ...

I will ask my doctor and PA about the things you guys listed. I remember i definately did not expect that much pain, since most people say it barely hurts. The second pass then the third, i thought i ...

After i had my fraxel i looked at my face and had some tiny lines in places. On my upper lip, where it hurt the most, i had kind of shook or moved my face a little when she did that area because of al...

non-ablative Fraxel is an ABLATIVE laser! Ablative is a fancy catch-all phrase meaning "destructive/taking away/burning/vaporization/etc." However, Fraxel does not take off outer layers of skin wh...

hey everyone. new member here 🙂 I was lucky to find this message board. I heard about Fraxel through a radio ad for a Dr in Beverly Hills. I had bad acne when I was a teenager and have had scars sinc...

hey guys, just curious... I know fraxel can eliminate sun spots, but can it be used to eliminate red marks? I basically caused a big mess with 50% TCA. If any of you remember I over-used 50% TCA in on...
