Redondo Beach Fraxel Laser Doctors and Reviews

“Fraxel Restore - Pigmentation Dry...”

I went to a very nice plastic surgeon to see about having my skin tightened. Since I had gone to this doctor before for fillers, I thought nothing of it that the office manager told me by email that I should consider fraxel. When they ran a special months later, I thought I could try it out. This plastic surgeon is the fraxel expert, and answers many questions on this board regarding the laser... more

“Had SmartSkin Fraxel 11 Days Ago -...”

I'm 54 years old and wanted to get rid of the lines around and above my mouth. I've always had peaches and cream skin, but was told to do my entire face so the color would match. I also had my chest and neck done because that was the special the plastic surgeon was running in December. Lidocaine was applied to my face for an hour and I was given something to relax. Let me just say... more

“So Far, So Good! - Beverly Hills, CA”

I wrote a review for another website after my first treatment a month ago. Here it is: This is my first Fraxel treatment and today is my fourth day. So far, so good. The procedure was definitely not painless, so make sure you apply the numbing cream ALL over your face all the way to the hairline and above your lips. My esthetician recommended that I apply another layer 30 minutes... more

“Very Happy with Fraxel Restore - Los...”

My doctor recommended the Fraxel Restore because my skin didn't need anything drastic, just something to help even the tone. Also, I just started getting cystic acne (at my age!) and every time I get a zit, it turns into a scar. So yes, I wanted these new additions to my face to be gone! I was, however, really really concerned about getting Fraxel after reading all of the negative... more

“Fraxel - Encino, CA”

Skin discoloration, age spots, light acne scaring - 1st treatment slight improvement, 2nd treatment people say i look 10 years younger. Just wanted to wake up in the morning without havng to put make-up on before the family woke up. more

“I love the fraxel laser - Los...”

I am in my early 40's with an olive complexion and some scarring from acne. Fraxel has reduced (not eliminated) my scarring, it evens out the pigmentation and creates new collagen. I describe it too friends by saying if your skin was like an orange peel, Fraxel would make it more like an apple peel. I find it to be an extremely painful procedure but I have the absolute highest setting on... more

“Fraxel Treatment for Acne Scars”

I had fraxel treatment to treat acne scars. I had 2 treatments already and I have seen improvement so far but the scars are still obvious and I would still breakout.I have been hearing good things about the vitalize peel but I'm just wondering if I can go for that after a fraxel treatment? And if so, how soon can I do it after a fraxel? more

“Fraxel Was Really Painful but Good...”

I have had a total of 2 Fraxel treatments. The first time I wasn't prepared for how much it would hurt, and I had to call in sick to work the next day because I looked like a burn victim. The second time I was prepared for redness and the pain so I scheduled the treatment for a Friday. They upped the strength on the second pass and wow was I swollen all weekend! My poor boyfriend had to... more

“Post-Fraxel Restore Healing for Acne...”

I did the treatment to diminish acne scars and improve the texture of my skin. It didn't hurt and I didn't swell, but I seem to be having some issues with the healing process. I had a Fraxel Restore treatment on July 2 of this year. As expected I broke out, but not expected, I remain pink with small points of whitehead acne and small cystic bumps that others on the site have... more

“Dermaplaning After Fraxel Laser -...”

Good so far! Hoping it will only get better in the weeks to come, Painful but not bad. Down time a little longer than the 48 hours but still OK. I had a Fraxel restore treatment on Friday and so far have what seems to be the normal redness/brown skin, white bumps etc. I was thinking of going in this week and having some dermaplaning to help with the exfoliation process.   Is... more

“Fraxel is Not Worth the Pain or Expense”

I had 2 fraxel treatments about 3 weeks apart. The second recovery took over a week. It was extraordinarily painful, even during recovery.The worst was that there was no change in my appearance. The dark spots did not disappear and there was no lessening of wrinkles. Not one person ever noticed a difference. more

“Incredible Results! No Pain! -...”

What an incredible procedure.  I am a 67 year old man and was beginning to feel my age.  I had age spots and discoloration on my face.  I decided to have this procedure because I was told it would drasticly improve the texture of my face and neck. Started with facial preparations the day before the treatment.  The procedure took approximately 45 minutes which I was in... more

“Destroyed my Skin!”

My first Fraxel must have been set at a low setting, and I was happy with the results. The second Fraxel must've been set quite a bit higher, was VERY painful and I swelled up immediately causing me much concern. I thought my skin was going to burst! The second Fraxel destroyed the surface texture and muscle tone under my skin, and I look older than when I went in! When I brought pictures back... more
