Worth It

Spent: $3,600 in NYC, NY

I am african american and I have had fraxel on my thighs and buttocks and love the results. I have had 2 out of a recommended 6 treatments and I am very happy. There is already a noticeable difference. They obviously won't be completely gone but they will be much lighter. Like anything it depends on your skin and your doctor.

so far I haven't had any problems besides the itching and peeling skin afterwards. You are also left with little brown dots but they fade over a couple weeks.

My rating:

Everyone in the office is very professional and makes you feel very comfortable. I never felt pressured to make a decision about the procedure. I asked a ton of questions and never felt like I was bothering them.

Hi my name is Leslie, I'm also African American and would like treatment for my stretchmarks. I was very worried because I didn't think it would work on our skin type, how many treatments have you had?

Hi, I am interested in having this treatment on my thighs and buttocks. Have you finished your treatments? How do you like the results so far?

I ended up doing 5 treatments out of the 6 that were recommended. It didn't completely erase them but they are much lighter. My skin heals well so I think that made a huge a difference. Plus my dr. was really good about gradually increasing the intensity to lower the chance of damaging my skin.

i have done all 6 treatments and i am thrilled!! I am African American and had fraxel on my thighs, butt, and legs. Some marks are completely gone!! I have no more on my thighs and some on my legs are completely gone and others barely visible. They are so faint on my behind. I can finally wear shorts and bathing suits again! I went to Randee Elaine in NYC and I would def recommend. You get dark spots, but they do absolutely fade and sometimes peel. I will do one micro dermabrasion on my butt and maybe they will be completely gone

Hi, I'm considering getting Re:store fraxel done on some stretch marks. I was just wondering how long you had your stretch marks for before you went in for treatments. Also, I was wondering if you didn't mind telling me how much the treatment cost. I'm asking because although I know it is expenseive the treatment prices shown online usually vary. Thanks!

Hi, I got mine starting in high school so maybe 8 years but mine were never large. I ended up paying about $4000 total for 5 sessions but my doctor was offering a discount if you purchased a package. I think it was normally $1000/session.
