Washington DC Fraxel Laser Doctors and Reviews

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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
