“Immediate results after fraxel laser?”
Fraxel Laser: Undecided
Cost: $900
Pain: Mild
Review of Fraxel Laser:Pain: Mild
Fraxel Laser satisfaction: Fair
I am questioning if the results will be the same with less severe post procedure effects. I was happy with the first session of the faxel laser but my swellen/reddness and bronzing was at a high level. This time is was not. I'm wondering if after the first procedure the effects are different?

You can't really predict your reaction after later treatments, because each one may have a different setting. My first four treatments were pretty mild -- in fact, I was back in public 48 hours later. I peeled most severely after treatments # 1 and 2. But I've just had my 5th, and I'm still really swollen 48 hours later. Because it's my last in the series, they went a little more superficially, to take care of my pigment issues, and the result is that I swelled up a lot more than before.

Olga, after the full 5 treatments, I'm really happy with the results. My age spots have lightened quite a bit, and I've had some tightening of my upper eyelids. It didn't start to become apparent until after my third treatment, so you might have to be patient.
