Fraxel Pain - How Bad is It? i am a freak when it comes to pain. kind of scared of gettin fraxel! should i be woried

A: Fraxel pain is tolerable

In my experience, the fraxel experience is quite tolerable. My experience with the fraxel re:store is very positive. We have tweaked our technique to constantly make it more tolerable. If you choose an experienced "fraxeller" you should be just fine.

Typically the forehead is most sensitive in my experience. If you want you can also request an oral narcotic to help during the procedure but you will need someone to drive you home.

The results are usually very compelling and despite any mild discomfort, I've found my patients to be quite pleased with the outcome.

Good luck!

	“Took 5 Years off - Washington, DC” Did entire face 3 years ago including eye area. Had brief general anesthesia for pain control at a surgi-center in a major metropolitan area, which probably accounts for the cost. Fraxel does for the skin what no plastic surgeon can do, and I estimate it makes me look about 5 years younger with those skin improvements. I wish I had done my neck and am thinking about repeating the treatment... more
	“Trying Fraxel Dual - Washington” Had fraxel duo on face and neck about an hour ago. I decided to try fraxel on face and neck and probably CO2 on the eyes (total fx). I was surprised, pleasantly, that it wasn't too painful and an hour or so later it doesn't feel that bad - mostly sunburnt and tight. There were definitely some "hot" spots during the treatment around the hairline and temples. The main reason... more
	“Skin is by Far WORSE Than Original...” Hi, I had 4 rounds of Fraxel laser treatments a little over 2 years ago in efforts to help fix mild acne scarring and blemish/discoloration issues. I was initially very excited and pleased after the 4 treatments.. my skin was considerably clearer and smoother. I felt so relieved to finally feel more comfortable in my own skin again for the first time in a long time. My dermatologist also... more
	“Read reviews at least 6+ mnths after...” I am now 15 months post 2 Fraxel Restore sessions and must say that this was the WORST decision of my life. I am a 29 Y.O. male that had 3 MINOR acne scars on my right cheek. I was talked into doing my whole face in order to ensure an even tone and texture. The texture I got is the "orange peel" texture everyone is talking about. Here is what causes this: "deleted collagen... more
	“Horrible Hyperpigmentation After 16...” Well, I had fraxel in March 2010. Initially when they put the numbing cream on my face I broke out in a huge hive. I was told that this had never happened to a patient before. My face was extremely red and swollen so I was given a shot of benadryl and they took the cream off of my face and used another type of cream. So I went in for the procedure and just getting the needles in my face... more
	“1st Treatment of Fraxel Re-store for...” Today I had my first Fraxel re-store treatment and it was amazing! Not as painful as I thought it would be, just some minimal stinging. After the treatment my faced looked and felt like a mild sunburn. Follow post treatment instructions.My physian recommended 4 treatments for skin type, acne scars and sun/age spots. Would I recommend this to a friend, YES! more
	“4 Fraxel Face, Little to No Improvement” I tried four treatments spaced over an 9 week period on the face and found little or no improvement. Waste of money, a year later, no difference. The Fraxel also caused ingrown hairs (male, told to use hemorrhoidal cream) and I browned which went away in about 5 months as I was given a prescription whitening cream. Seriously, for what was advertised and t more
	“4 Fraxel Treatments on Old Scars...” I guess i dont really know what to say but i guess my results could be better i have a small chicken pox scar and a small piercing scar and already have had 4 fraxel treatments i dont see any improvement like the other patients so i just keep going back, i really want my scars to just vanish. my doctor claims everyone heals different, but does this mean that its just not working for me? or... more
	“Fraxel for African American with...” I had the fraxel laser treatment which didn't seem to work much but it's only been 2 days. I guess it has delayed results. My doctor has also prescribed obagi and retin a. I hope to see improvement. He will do pixel next month.In being a darker toned african american with moderate acne scarring is the pixel right for me? If so, how long will it take for me to see the results and how many... more
	“I Had Fraxel Repair Done 8 Days Ago” I had this done in Norther VA, prices are generally high here. My doc had done about 50 of these types of procedures, I'm 46, at the bottom end of the recommended age range. Fair skin, which I was told has the best results. The procedure itself, with numbing mask, then numbing cream was excrutiatingly painful. It was pretty short though, about 10 minutes. Afterwards, even though it... more
	“Fraxel Laser - Acne Scars and...” Hi, I just got my first fraxel laser treatment done. I am from Pakistan and have light brown skin, the procedure was very tolerable. The staff at this location was very friendly and pleasant. I have tiny brown spray spots all over my skin. I have read on this forum that its normal. I hope this will help with my acne scars and laugh lines on my face, has anyone had good results for acne... more
	“Not As Painful As I Thought” Today is the third day after my first Fraxel re:store. I had mild swelling around the eyes the first full day after. It has now subsided. My face is still a little red and mildly itchy. It feels like it does right before peeling after getting sunburned. I had a hard time sleeping the first night b/c you are supposed to keep your head elevated. The second night was fine. My skin feels a little... more
	“Left a White Spot. Terrible” I had some freckling I wanted to get rid of. That was it! Other than that nothing was wrong with my face. My dermatologist recommended this procedure even though I had no acne scarring or wrinkles. I was in my late 20s. Well after my 2nd treatment I noticed no results with the freckling. After I went in for the 3rd treatment, I got another nurse doing the procedure. I explained to her that I... more
	“Not Sure About Fraxel” Just had my 4th Fraxel treatment yesterday - she "used" 35 strength- said i only needed one more and she would do 50. I am so swollen and red (next day). My biggest concern is this: I noticed scars and lines coming back between 3rd and 4th treatment (6 weeks) - now wondering if Fraxel is temporary? Not good at this price! Any advice? more
