“Still Figuring It out”

Danny, I'm glad to hear you are doing well. I had Fraxel Repair done 5 days ago. I'm holding off on my review because my opinions seem to be all over the place, although I really expect good results. I elected Fraxel Re:pair for some minor acne scars, pigmentation issues, sagging around my mouth and a surgical neck scar. I still have swelling on day 5 so it's hard to tell yet what the outcome is going to be. Man I miss seeing my cheek bones. My biggest issue now is with the itching, OMG at night it's insane! Have you had this problem? My skin is sloughing off and I think it's common to itch during this time. What were your treatment settings? Mine were high and pretty aggressive. If you are already thinking about a 2nd treatment, you must be doing pretty well huh? I've been taking daily photos which I plan to post. Keep us informed of your progress. It's nice to have a support group since I can't go outside. Oh, and did I mention I HATE aquaphor....grrrrrrr. Be well, Carla

Danny, I am 6 weeks post Re:pair, and I would estimate a 50% improvement for acne scars. I too am planning on a 2nd procedure and believe that will get me to where I want to be. What was your treatment level? Mine was done at 70mj and 60%, but I am a very quick healer. I had zero pain from the procedure because of a strong drug cocktail that knocked me out. At 6 days you still have swelling that is disguisng some of the scars, and you will get some reappearance. The doctors on here suggest at least 2 procedures for scars and I believe they are correct.

How was the final result? Have you done your second procedure?
