OKAY, I'M VERY CONFUSED NOW... HOW MANY TYPES OF FRAXEL LASER ARE THERE? I KNOW THERE WAS THE ORIGINAL FRAXEL SR. THEN THE FRAXEL SR1500 - ALSO KNOWN AS FRAXEL 2 NOW I'VE READ ABOUT ANOTHER FRAXE...

For those wondering about the Palomar and Fraxel 2, I stumbled across this paper:

Best responding scars are shallow rolling. I think my pores look better too. I can detect no real improvement to 3 incision scars (probably need filler) and to a few deeper scars. I also have sever...

I went out to dinner 3 days with friends after last fraxel. I think each reaction to succesive treatments tends to be less severe. Plus, this last one also had fewer KJs. Anyway, my skin is bronze ...

Ralphe, I am finding that my microswelling seems to subside much more quicky with each subsequent treatment. Perhaps you are experiencing true collagen rebuilding. That's great. Also, you might ...

Hey guys. I have attached a pic of the bottom of my face 2 weeks post fraxel. I am worried about the smile lines on both sides of my mouth. Will Fraxel help these or is it more in need of a filler. Wh...

I am 12 days past my third Fraxel treatment and 2nd subcision. Last time I saw my doctor he thought I had a significant improvement. I can see some improvement, but not as much as my doctor seemed t...

I had my first Fraxel Treatment done just about 2 months ago, I wasn't too pleased with the results, but now I am considering having another treatment / series of treatments done (I feel the doctor co...
