I've had one Fractional laser treatment so far (the Lux 1540) and am at week 5 post treatment. My next appointment is in 2 weeks. My question is should I see ANY improvement at all, even 1 or 2 %?? ...

was thinking about having the fraxel laser done, but wanted to know if anyone who has done it before thinks it is worth the money? I've had 4 Fraxel's and they hurt like hell, cost a lot of money, a...

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 back mot...

You're right, I'm sure...but it's just so hard to sit back and wait. Gotta feel like I'm being proactive about it somehow! So my regimen for the entire 6 months or so of treatment will now be : Morn...

😯 AHA's I know, but this is the first I've heard against salicylic acid during Fraxel. I don't use it for the first week after Fraxel. i didn't use anything except moisturizer, cleanser and sunscree...

So its been almost a month since my first fraxel. It seems like my texture is worse than before...my pores are huge, and I can still see a slight red line between my eyes and cheeks, where the fraxel ...

Zonk - what % improvement do you estimate? Variation by scar type? I'd 50-75% improvement. My rolling scars have improved a lot, not 100%, but you would only notice i had rolling scars if you knew...

Ive had 2 tratments $700 each time i never saw any improvement at all since then ive had 3 skin needling treatments and would say this has helped me way way more than fraxel and only costs me $150 eve...

Hi everyone, I have had my fraxel done 3 days ago. I was just wondering howcome I havent started peeling yet? My skin looks leathery on the cheeks where they repeatedly used the laser, where the scarr...

I had five fraxel laser treatments for acne scars over a year ago. I have included my treatment regimen and fraxel settings in my signature. It was not worth it. While it smoothed my skin about 5% ...

ok i guess u are lucky and respond well......but one last thing; next time u go, look at the fraxel machine's screen......look at the number in the middle, because that is the treatment level....ma...

I almost do not go out to the sun at all. I applied sunblock spf 30 when I commute to work driving. I just don't understand why i would have hyperpigmentation. Maybe my skin is too sensitive. Can...

effu: I wanted to go high but my derm told me I swelled so much he couldnt go higher. 🙁 CHANGE DOCTORS NOW........it sounds to me like u are giving too much power to your doctor.......do not be inti...

Ok, here's the excision 2 days after surgery.             This is a pretty crappy picture of the original scar, but the only one I have.     Can anybody...

As you note from my sig below, I have had 7 fraxels. I paid for 8, but have not had time off from work to get # 8, which is now set for this Wed. My results have been disappointing. I have some sma...

on my shallow rolling scars i think it improved about 5% after my 3 fraxels. I was counting on 50%. How long has it been since your last fraxel? The bulk of my improvement came 3-4 months after my ...

It was more like in between the upper left cheek bone and left temple. One thing - after what Zonk told me last night, I looked at the 'excision' and it seemed like most of them got their big and de...

I finally got a test site done last Monday on a 3cm by 3cm area on my upper left cheek. The nurse put in the numbing cream for about an hour and then the doctor performed Fraxel at 70MJ treatment leve...

SO I'm planning to get Fraxel 2 done on a Friday afternoon. What is the REALISTIC chance that I can go back to work on Monday without people noticing my face is all red and swollen? I would say litt...

To be honest I wish there were more pictures up in this forum from users with their settings and scars so I could have gauged what my response to fraxel would have been like beforehand. I hope I get b...
