Is the downtime similar?
Hi M,
The downtime for Fraxel repair is greater than for most other fractionated CO2 laser skin rejuvenation treatments. With fractionated CO2 laser treatments, usually the longer the downtime, the better the skin rejuvenation result. Good luck and be well.

I have acne scars on both cheeks. I know that i can get of them through different procedures (Lasers, peels etc.). The real problem is that I lost fat from the area where the scars are. My scars are not that severe (cheek indentation even if there are no scars). You can imagine christian bale's cheeks in 'the fighter' with few scars in mid cheek area, lol. My doc says its collagen loss and will come back with fraxel re-pair. I'm ectomorph and work out heavy. Is my doc true?
Hi Dragon,
It sounds as if you would benefit from facial filling. I prefer Sculptra in a patient such as yourself. Others may use fat or other fillers. Fraxel repair does stimulate collagen production, that is how it is helpful in the treatment of surface acne scars. I have treated patients with full face Fraxel repair followed by Sculptra once their skin has healed from the laser procedure with excellent results. Most importantly, choose your treating physician very carefully. Good luck and be well.

I decided to go with this procedure for mild acne scarring on my cheeks....I had the crusting, the oozing with vinegar soaks and acquafor and then onto PCA skin regimen.My face began to peel and I noticed an area the size of a nickel on my (left cheek) that looked "deeper" I simply thought the skin around it would even out. Well today I'm exactly 2 weeks post and the area is still deeper...and redder than the rest of my face, white patches around it...and extends down my chin! Please help!!! :-(
Hi Dahlila,
The best thing for you to do is to contact your treating physician for examination of your skin. Most likely, with time your skin will heal evenly. It is still early after your treatment. If there should be any unevenness once you are completely healed, then a fractionated erbium laser would be helpful. Email photos if you have further questions or concerns. Good luck and be well.
