So does anyone in the Los Angeles area know of a Doctor using the new Fraxel tip?

Thank you all for being very helpful. I have saved up some money and I want to try fraxel. Does anyone know of a good doc in the SOCAL area. i live in LA but am willing to drive a bit. I have struggel...

  My Docs office uses baby wipes but I found that DAWN DISHWASHING SOAP (the foamy one) worked the best.   uote name='hey_you_25' date='May 30 2006, 05:00 PM' post='1152823'] I just had my ...

Thanks Billyboy...   I thought about this also. I was worried that the Alegra would throw a wrench into my recovery (swelling) but I was desparate. I was a big mess and couldn't handle the allerg...

Hey Annie,   My BIG mistake was doing nothing for the blistering. I was left with hyperpigementation and a slight scar. It was too late to do anything about it when I went in for my follow-up bec...

HMM...haven't really understood what exactly people mean by "passes". She went up and down, the same area, then crossed over the areas the other way twice....4 ???. She went over my left cheek an ext...

Thanks Annie for all the info and especially for sharing the photos.   I just had my last of 5 treatments Wed. My face is starting to get flaky and am a deep bronze. I have to say to those consi...

First treatment today. I have nothing really to add to what other people have already said. My face is blue, bluer than I thought it would be, swollen enough to hide most of my scars, and sore. I d...

I went to see my derm three weeks ago for a fraxel consultation. He said he thought it would be a good laser for me and we went ahead and scheduled the treatment. He also gave me some Tazorac to unc...

I had my treatments spaced two weeks apart at level 18... The first and second treatment weren't too bad, but by the 3rd and 4th I could really tell my skin hadn't healed, my skin was very sensitve a...

The scar that I have on my cheek is flat... but it has some rough edges that should be "blended" into the skin and the texture could be a bit better. Is fraxel a good option for this kind of scar? ...

Pics didnt come up, Youll have to go to my gallery to view, today is day three, and I found that my skin is like sand paper, and is flaking horribly, so far I can see a difference more in my icepick s...

I had my THIRD treatment yesterday. This one went way better than the 2nd. I thought I was going to turn purple from the swelling and redness from treatment 2. Yesterday's was a little uncomfortable b...

Hey everyone, I had Fraxel #2 yesterday and I'm a little miserable. I just think I'm a sweller. I look like a friggin marshmallow already. I took an extra day off work just in case. I know my Doctor...

Looking for advice from Fraxel vets. I have consult on Thursday, to be followed by first Fraxel treatment. Unless Doc/Laser Center come up with a surprise, I expect to sign up for 4, with 4 to 5 wee...

Lawgirl,   When was your last treatment and what Dr. did you see?   Sorry if the results, whatever they may be, were disappointing. After my 1st treatment, my blemishes were zapped away and...

I've been on the micro retin-A for years and asked my Dr if I should discontinue it before the treatment. She said it didn't matter but I stopped using it just one day prior to my treatment. I had no ...

Oh and I forgot to mention that the main reason my Dr thinks fraxel is great is because of how this laser works from the inside out. Laser targets the lower layer of skin rather than the outside unlik...

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 since...
