Today I had my first treatment of a series of 4 fraxel restore, to get rid of sun spots, freckles and uneven pigmentation and of course to improve the texture and glow of the skin.
My experience after 10 hours can't be better. I had slight swollen and my spots are dark, so far no redness and absolutely no pain, I had a valium 1 hour before the procedure, half hour later a shot of demerol and another shot to help with the swelling. Right before they start I turned my ipod and felt relaxed but aware of what were they doing.
The settings were 20mj and 800deep into the skin and it was a little bit uncomfortable a few times, in a scale of 1-10 a should say a 3.

I forgot to mention that I had the Alexandrite laser along with the fraxel restore, I am on my 3rd day post treatment and healing well, still my spots and freckles look very dark , the texture of the skin is a bit rough so I think I will start to peel pretty soon, I hope!
Has anyone used indomethacin 2.5% after fraxel restore? Comments
