Fraxel Laser: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhy is the Rating of Fraxel So Low? Just 57%.
I have some shallow acne scars and Fraxel seems right for me.... but I am not convinced because of the "bad" results. I understand that the doctor is as important as the laser, but 57% is just bad. Have you any explanation?

RE: Low Fraxel Rating
When it comes to cosmetic procedures, it is important to consider how they are performed on individual patients. There are numerous variables that come into play on an individual basis.
Although there are people who are dissatisfied with the procedures, there are others who are thrilled with the results. Kim Kardashian spoke very openly about how much she loves Fraxel treatments and how much she recommends this to others.

Fraxel Results
It is important to differentiate between Fraxel Restore and Fraxel Repair. The first is a series of milder treatments with incremental changes. The Fraxel Repair is an excellent fractionated CO2 laser that proves immediate, impressive results in one treatment. Fraxel Repair has 4-5 days when you are not presentable in public, but the results are much more impressive. In addition, when performed under light anesthesia, I can be more aggressive, in a safe way, to get...

Fraxel is a great laser, so why the low rating on reviews?
Fraxel is a great laser for acne scars in particular, considered by most experts to be a "gold standard" for scars. I have seen excellent results for acne, and other types of scars. So why the low rating? There are probably several reasons:
It requires at least 4 to 6 treatments to see results. Final results will take several months to see after the final treatment.
The treatments must be done at the maximal settings. If not, the results will be less than optimal.

Fraxel works for scars
Fraxel is a good treatment for all skin types. Fraxel is the brand name of the most popular fractionated laser machine. Fractionated means it treats only a fraction of the surface area at a time to minimize recovery time and unwanted changes in skin color and texture.
I believe the satisfaction rating is low because people had too high expections ( like it would replace a facelift ) or they didn't do the recommended number of treatments (4-6).
Best way to avoid disappointment? See...

Fraxel for Acne Scarring
Fraxel is still one of the gold standard lasers for acne scars. There are several reasons why people may have given a negative review. One is that it takes 4-6 treatments to see the best results. Many people have an unrealistic expectation of the results that can be seen with only a few treatments. Also, many people claim to have Fraxel when it is not the actual fraxel laser.
The other issue I have seen is that much lower energy levels are used than are needed to treat scarring in...

# Fraxel for acne scars
Fraxel is one of the better lasers for acne scars. I have treated all skin colors and all kinds of acne scars with it without any problems. I have been using it for almost 10 yrs now. of note is the fact that a lot of practices, especially the so-called laser centers and spas claim that they have "fraxel" machine and can remove scars etc when in fact they dont have the real Fraxel laser rather a different machine which is not indicated for scar treatment. and the people who use the machines...
