4 days of downtime for all of my sessions. The redness went away quicker with the later sessions.

      I would think this would be used for keloid/raised scarring, since it states it would destroy tissue.

I always remove the brown spots on the 4th day after a session, gently with warm water and a soft washcloth.

effu I feel you. I am definitely envious of perfect skin.   The physical pain from Fraxel is nothing compared with the emotional pain of dealing with these scars.

Do the webinars say Fraxel permanently or temporarily damages oil glands?

toonicey -- your pores will reappear after the swelling goes down.

My doc says she recommends 3 fraxel sessions for her patients, and it's up to them if they want more. I'm not sure what she means by that -- shouldn't she look at my face and be able to tell how many...

I pay $700 per treatment.

Youandme -- I think you should be getting more passes.   Wait, now that I've said that, I forget what it means that I've had 12. Isn't 2 passes when the doc goes over a strip of skin twice (1 ba...

Yeah, the scars will come back after the swelling subsides.

thanks effu! will do!

How many passes did you have? You can check out my thread to see how I fared after my 1st Fraxel...

Dr. Kilmer in Sacramento? I've had a Fraxel consultation at her office. Keep us updated!

I think you meant "510(k)". Here is the link that explains it in detail:     A 510(k) is required when:   1. Introducing a device into commercial distribution (marketing) for the fir...

Have any of you used makeup after a Fraxel session? If so, could you tell us your experience with it? Thanks! I use Estee Lauder Double Wear, and it works great (on top of sunblock spf 55). When yo...

The place I'm interested in getting Fraxel will get the newest version (that goes up to 70 mj) in June or July. Planning on waiting a few months after that to start.

Dishwashing liquid?!?!

It's very important to know what settings the doc will use! I went to one doc who admitted she was not very aggressive with her patients and does Fraxel at 6-8 MJs. She says the percentage of improv...

Anyone know what 20% overlap means?
