Fraxel Laser and Fat Transfer
Hi Niy,
Fraxel re:store should not effect the fat that was transferred to your lips. The laser heats the skin superficially to about 1 to 1.5 mm deep, the fat transfer is much deeper.
Be well.

Fraxel doesn't go deep eneough to have an effect on injected fat
Fat injections are placed dep into the subcutaneous (beneath the skin) space. The effect of the Fraxel is limited to the dermis of the skin.
Therefore the Fraxel does not go deep enough to have any effect on injected fat.
