Hello, everyone. This is an update and I apologize in advance for the length.   On April 2, I think that will be 4 months since my fifth and final fraxel 2 treatment. (I'm sorry that I don't ha...

  Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!      

Shyone: How is everything? Are you still happy with your results? Will you post photos soon? I'm still happy with the results. I tried to post a photo to an album in the gallery, but the quality...

Hello! Thought I should drop by and give an update...   It's been two weeks since my fifth and final fraxel (fraxel 2).   The most dramatic improvements I've seen so far are to the lines a...

Will you be posting photos anytime soon? I think we all would love to view them. I'm going to give my skin a month at least, then I'll post before and after shots.

Have you seen any type of improvement at all yet? Most definitely! :clap: For now, of course, I'm puffy and red and flakey post treatment. :redface: And remember - I'm not in the ideal can...

Hey, jjp - had my fifth one on Monday.   I am still swollen and red today. I had MASSIVE flaking yesterday, still going today but not as much since most of my face flaked off yesterday...  ...

Settings info:   Full face, 20mjs, treatment level 10, 10 passes.   Additional cheeks, chin (and this time, she did my forehead too - OUCH!) 40mjs, treatment level 8, 8 passes.   I thin...

Well, once again my efforts to sleep upright failed. lol.   I slept on my right side so now, my right side is more swollen than my left.   My skin has that sandpapery feeling, but no peel...

5th fraxel (fraxel 2) today. Last one - will reevaluate in March and perhaps go for a second series.   I didn't get the settings but will call tomorrow and ask for them. I know it was high - Dr...

I'll be going for my 5th and final Fraxel 2 in the morning.   I'll post when I get back to let y'all know how it goes.    

Today is two weeks since 4th treatment (fraxel 2).   Redness is pretty much gone.   I had a minor breakout around my chin but that is over now .   The improvement to the lines arou...

Olbarn You pose a good question as to cost/benefit between Fraxel 1 and 2. My doc says his colleagues see no clinical difference, despite tech advances. Shyone feels otherwise. No one knows at thi...

I created a thread on cooltouch vs fraxel but I wanted some of you Fraxel experts opinions. Is it worth it to get both treatments? Here is the link to the other thread. From reading here for ...

Okay i know people on here hate stupid fraxel questions. so for the record, i've read most of this thread. but i still have this question, or rather it's just the need of someone's opinion... would y...

I had my very first fraxel today. SO they first clean your face with a cotton ball drenched in alcohol..i guess the skin needs to be completly free of oils so that the blue dye and the numbing cream w...

Update:   One week since 4th treatment, Fraxel 2.   Still some minor swelling. Still some redness.   I now have a breakout around my chin. I think it was the sunscreen - I used it t...

Everyone who's doing the Fraxel if you have a digital camera take pics of you before, during and after. It really helps you see what's going on. It depresses me at times but when I go back and try t...

Shyone, still no word on your settings? LOL Yup, I am very curious on what settings the office is using on you. How are you doing today? Has the swelling started to go down? No Kj reading avail...

For reals, a persons collagen diminshes after a certain age? i read that it diminished after 25. 25 yrs old that is. Yeah, somewhere around there... I've read that there are also different "kinds...

MZ, I'm 46 so my collagen is diminished already, and you know what? I see DEFINITE improvement in a couple of saucer shaped "chicken pox" looking scars. This became really noticeable after the third...

Hey!!! Starting my fraxels on December 8th 06..just wanna thank 'Florida' and everyone that wrote info about this procedure. You guys really assured me that I made the right decision. I totally cried...

I'm only getting 3 treatments. My question is will 3 treatment be enough for me? I feel like I need 10 treatments to be happy. I'm trying to stay up but I'm frustrated too. How happy you are aft...
