I had my fraxel c02 done at Adora clinic in Tampa Fl. The woman seemed very knowledgeable and has been doing it for over 5yrs. It didn't hurt at all, seriously! The numbing cream works great! Make sure you bring a freezer pack, I live an hour away from the clinic so i should have brought two. (they sell them for a dollar at the dollar store) you just hit them when ready to use. They gave me one at the clinic but that wasn't enough. The procedure took about 40min., no pain, the numbing cream wore off in about an hour. I took two Tylenol, I don't know i i would have needed them but took them anyway. I used ice packs for the next few hours. My face was fine as long as i kept it cool. I have malasma, and wrinkles, that was why i did it. The malasma looks worse, but thats expected, I also just bought Hormone Balance Formula made from Superior Source (bought from a natural store), taking 1 zinc, and 2 milk thistle 1000mg. and DefensePlus by NutriBiotic 1 a day, and a good multi. (mine was very cheap with coupon, i think it was from their site)

I realize that I had malasma (a hormonal imbalance), that is what caused the brown patches on my face. I Googled Hormonal inhibutors (like some meats and soy), stayed away from them and after abut 1.5yrs it was gone. Its an inside issue, the fraxel didn't help. I chose not to use the skin bleach cream they gave me after reading reviews.

Hello :) thry had told me i would have to get a few fraxels, i didn't notice any difference, not happy. The main reason i had it done wss i had malasma, (google images), It's actually an inside issue that has to do with hormone so it didn't help with that at all
Hi Deanna 43, thanks for reviewing your experience so far. Do you plan on having any additional treatments? Be sure to keep us updated on your post-treatment progress!
My face stings with sympathy in regards to the vinegar soaks, ouch! Hope everything continues to go well for you :)
hi Deanna - I'm very interested in how your face is looking after fraxel as I'm considering this for myself. Hiw are you finding the results? Did it improve your skin? Are your pores smaller and your color more even? Any updates you can add is greatly appreciated.
Please be careful. Do not take niceness for your face. Microbrasion leaves holes in your skin. Do not do it. Be careful. Use retina a mildly. Be careful
