I am having this procedure completed to minimize the appearance of my acne scars. The first procedure went well- not overly painful. I spent an hour sitting with the numbing cream on and then about 45 minutes under the laser. I noticed slight swelling and redness right after so I immediately starting icing my face. Today is day 1 and the redness is more noticeable as well as the swelling ( especially under my eyes) but I expected this. I will continue icing, gently cleaning and moisturizing for the next week.

Thanks for your review and posting photos!! On a scale of 1-10 what was the pain like?

I would rate it a 4-5 out of 10 but I will admit to having a higher pain tolerance... Honestly, it's all worth it for me to get rid of the scars!

Day 2

Today is day 2 after getting my first treatment and the swelling has gone down. My face is much more red today and has now developed a rough/course texture which was expected.

Day 3

Today there is no swelling and the redness is subsiding. My skin is still very course and is flaking off. I am heavily moisturizing but the skin is so dried out that it hardly absorbs the lotion. All is going as planned :)

are you happy with the results so far, I am told with fraxel restore you continue to see results over 6 months

So far I am very pleased ... Time will tell ( I still have 3 more treatments). Coworkers have already noticed a difference though which is a great sign!

Judging from your before and after pics you can tell there is an obvious difference. Is the $3000 you spent for one session or all 4 sessions you will have? Thanks.

For all four treatments
