Glad I Did Fraxel Repair!!!!

WORTH IT$4,700

I had fraxel repair done to my face and neck 7 days ago. I am 44 years old and wanted it for eyes crepes, sun damage, and some added lift to face and neck from age.

The first couple of days you look like a monster! Then swelling and redness come on.

I am happy that I did it so far. Make sure you are realistic on the time frame of healing. I think it takes at least 10 days before I would be comfortable going out of the house (minus a drive-through). Very excited about having fraxel repair!

susiez, Good to hear you have a positive outlook on your healing process. I think you are realistic in what to expect and sounds like you did your homework. All the fraxel repair posts are so negative which in turn freaked me out so much that I have decided to wait until next year. Let us know how youre doing in a month. My biggest concern is it doesnt last and your old complextion comes back. Hopefully Not! Good luck & happy holidays!

Hi Susiez, Thank you for posting. Please keep us updated on your results as weeks and months have passed. I too have been reading about results not lasting as Chardy had mentioned. BTW "Chardy" I have scheduled the Fraxel for January, and I too will let you know. Best, FOA

Chardy and FairesOfAll, I would really discourage you from throwing your money away. I too had my face and neck done and at first I thought I was going to have results. Now it is 3 1/2 months later and I can't tell I had anything done other than my bank account is a lot smaller. Beware. You will notice very little difference in the long run.

It has now been over six weeks for me since I have had fraxel repair and I am thrilled with my results! My complextion looks so much better and I have a glow. My eye area looks at least 50% better than before fraxel. My brown sun spots are all gone, and my skin is smooth. I do notice a difference.

Tatumbelle, Sorry to hear that Fraxel didn't work for you. When you say "you can't tell I had anything done" what results were you looking for -what were your goals for the procedure?

I am sooooo confused now. One person sais they see visible results, the next person not so much (even after 3.5 months.) Do I spend the big bucks or just go for the fillers?

Mine was done about 6 months ago. At first thought it was going to "rock". Seems to be goin back little by little to the way it was. I am dissappointed.
