I'm on my second Fraxel treatment. My first one was over a year ago and due acne I had to stop and go on accutane. I have noticed slight improvement after my first treatment and now I'm on day 2 of my second fraxel treatment. My Doctor was very aggressive and went over my face 10x's on high. It was very painful and my face is very swollen.

I finished my 2nd Fraxel and my face was very red and swollen for about 3 days. I had 10 passes done on my face and it was very painful. My face was red for a few weeks, but after a week it was much better! About 2 months later I saw some slight improvement to my skin texture. I know it will take at least 6 months to see full effect, and several more Fraxels.
About 2 weeks ago I had my 3rd Fraxel done. My doctor went on the highest setting and did 14 passes. It was painful but she had 2 people blow air on my face so it made the experience better. My face was swollen for about 3 days, really red for about a week and very dry. Without makeup you can still see the redness on my face. My facial texture seems to be improving but it's a very slow process and staying optimistic. I was told I would need 6 Fraxels because of my acne scars. I will be setting up my 4th Fraxel next week!

It's been a few months since my last fraxel, I have noticed a slight improvement and I have noticed my self esteem has increased as well. I have a light redness under my eyes that's noticeable when not wearing makeup. I go in for my 4th fraxel tomorrow.
