Hi,

I just got my first fraxel laser treatment done. I am from Pakistan and have light brown skin, the procedure was very tolerable. The staff at this location was very friendly and pleasant.

I have tiny brown spray spots all over my skin. I have read on this forum that its normal. I hope this will help with my acne scars and laugh lines on my face, has anyone had good results for acne scar removal from this laser, if not can someone recommend me one. Thanks

I don't know the results yet as this is only my third day. I was told that I will see results in three to four weeks. But I would highly recommend this place as the staff was friendly, price was great and I am very sure that the results will be good too. The RN who did my procedure took her time and answered all my questions in details.

Yes...this laser does help with acne scarring. You will need 4-6 treatments though for best results. I've had 2 so far and my skin is much smoother. You do have to have your acne under control prior to the fraxel treatment; otherwise you're defeating the purpose of the laser treatment. I'm taking antibiotics for my acne and Yaz birth control pills to keep it clear as well as Retinol (Retin A)for any breakouts. You do have to stop using the Retin A though about a week before you actually have the laser treatment though. If you have really deep scars, like I have a few in the temple area, I don't think this laser is going to improve, so I may need some type of fillers. Good luck and keep me updated with your upcoming treatments.

Is it ok to do fraxel laser and laser hair removal at the same time? or do I have to wait till I complete all sessions for one of the two?
