I had Fraxel Restore two days ago and at first it was pretty confortable, then the technician turned the energy up (because my skin wasn't even red) and then it started to hurt. At times it hurt a lot... i would describe the pain as severe.... like stabbing me with little fire pricks, but once i was feeling like i couldn't take it anymore, the technician moved on to the next area.... so i would say it is tolerable.... barely.... it just depends on what setting the machine is on.

I heard there was a new machine to stop the unbearable pain. What is is called and where do they have it?
