In Regards to Fraxel: Are Free Consultations Always Brief and Not Very Thorough?

I'm a 21 year old white male with acne scars. I went to a reputable Dr., he performs restore and repair.Dr. answered any direct question, but never "volunteered" to go over pre-op/post-op care. I asked what results I could expect and he said "I think Fraxel advertises about 60% improvement." The advice was short, uninformative and most importantly not personalized. The consultation was 10 minutes long. Is this what I can expect from most practices? Could my age have played a factor?

A: Fraxel Consultation

In my practice, I feel it's important to take time to thoroughly go over a procedure, pre-op and post-op care with the patient and answer all of his or her questions so that everyone is one the same page. Oftentimes, my nurses are able to handle some aspects of this as well (such as pre and post-op care). Clear communication between you and your surgeon is the best way to ensure that you get the best results possible. So if you do not feel you got that from the doctor you met with, I would highly suggest you meet with a a few other doctors (as a plastic surgeon, I will always recommend you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon). Ultimately, a level of trust and understanding between patient and doctor is best.

Fraxel Vs Ulthera

Which is better? Fracxil or Ulthera And how many treatment are need?

A: Fraxel vs. Ulthera

I think of Fraxel as a skin polisher or shiner, and I think of Ultherapy as a skin tightener. I think both techniques work very well, but could only make a recommendation after seeing the patient in person, as everyone's skin tone, anatomy and aging process varies.

Is It OK to Go to a Tanning Booth (Wearing a 50 SPF) in Between Fraxel Treatments?

I want to protect my face but still get a body-tan. Will a 50SPF sunblock provide enough protection to the face during 7-minute sun booth sessions?

A: Tanning Beds: A Horrible Idea

The short answer to your question is a resounding "No!" Tanning beds have adverse effects on the possiblity of your developing a skin cancer and accelerate the aging process of you skin. If you do that in the midst of undergoing Fraxel treatments, you'll likely develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown splotching) of your skin, which onbviously adversely affects your Fraxel outcome.
