Fraxel Vs. Dermabrasion - Luxembourg

i am thinking to go for fraxel repair for next winter. it seems more apropriate for my case :)

thanks for the tip. my skill heals fast and its oily so i will try the fraxel repair solo for now. avita recell is a very expensive treatment as well as london city. it would be a very salty invoice. i will still keep that in mind as a last resort! thank you

Glad I could help, and yes the most effective treatments should always be saved as a last desperate measure. But know this, getting rid of acne scars is not a matter of if but a matter of when. Yes it will take a lot of time and a lot of money but each treatment brings a bit of improvement so if you keep accumulating treatments sooner or later the scars will be reduced to the point where you won't care about them anymore. I know of people who had 5 fraxel repair treatments. 1st treatment: 30% improvement 2: 50% 3:70% 4:90% . It's cumulative! The point is, don't worry. There will come a day where your acne scars will no longer bother you. It's only a question of how much money you're gonna have to spend. It really is a question of money. Removing the scars, it can be done it's just that it's costly. Just keep accumulating fraxel repair treatments and do recell if you can. Eventually, your scars won't stand a chance. I have a single scar that's bothering me on my nose and I just did my first Fraxel repair treatment for $1215 ...So damn expensive. I'm gonna have a second treatment and maximum i'll have a third one. So yeah, don't give up and keep getting fraxel repair treatments and keep doing them until you're satisfied. Good luck man , cheers!

thanks for the words of hope. and you are right. i have done dermabrasion, exopeel (phenol), co2 and 5 fraxel restores and of course i can see the difference. actually only bad lighting will show my indentation :)

Hi November, my doctor is saying 60% is too agressive and proposes 45%. Do you think 45% is worth it? I really want to have it for my money.

I did mine at 70mj 60 percent and im two weeks post op and the redness is almost gone. However thats because the treated area is very small (only one scar) and on the nose (a safe area) and I have pale skin so higher laser settings are safe. Did he say it was too much because of your skin tone? If yes then you should listen to him im sure he knows best. Ask him why he doesnt want to use high settings if his answer is justified go with it if not ask him if he can do the high settings. Is 45 worth it? No idea but im guessing that it will do something. Talk to the doc and see if its possible.

My Doctor accepted 60% finally. And he even came back with 70%. Should I go for the 70%?

I strongly recommend 70mj 60% Anything more powerful I don't know since I've never tried it. I'm 4 months post op and I can see that there was no danger doing 70mj 60% since my skin shows no sign of damage. 70mj 70% sounds risky. Especially if your skin is not extremely white and it also depends on the areas you're doing. Like I said before, I would never want to try fraxel at such high settings on a different area than the nose. Since you're doing cheeks, I would stick to 60% and even that might be risky. If you choose to do 60% take extremely good care of your skin afterwards because your treated area will be much larger than mine and on a dangerous spot (cheeks). The decision is very hard. Higher settings with better results but with the possibility of making things worse. Or lower results with less effectiveness but safer....Which one to choose? It's very tough. If you really want to try 70% ask your doctor if he's sure that it's safe to do that on an area such as the cheeks especially if you're doing the entire cheek. Seems kind of weird to me how he was refusing to do 60% and wanted to do 45% but now suddenly he's fine with 70%. Ask him what made him change his mind. Ultimately, the decision is yours.

He went to a seminar with the most famous doctors using fraxel. They all seemed to agree 60% and 70% would apply to my case without risk. But I will stick with 60%. Thank you!

The Fraxel that I tried was restore. I will try Fraxel repair in the winter time this year.
