Fraxel Laser: Undecided
Cost: $700
Pain: Mild
Review of Fraxel Laser:Cost: $700
Pain: Mild
Fraxel Laser satisfaction: Fair
I do not recommend my Fraxel Laser provider:
Why: Not until full effects are relevant.
Had Restore done 6 weeks ago. Moderate pain and did nicely on ridding pigmentation. I had a lot of sun damage because I grew up in S.CA.

Hi Your questions can probably be answered best by reading one of the members experience with Fraxel. Her post is under do-not-do-fraxel-ruined-face-burns
Don't think anybody could describe the damage that can happen better that awalk (she passed away in Oct. 2009, may she RIP)Her post is still here and offers vaulable information. Beware, these procedures do come with risks, serious ones at that. Good luck.

I am considering Fraxel. What was your negative experience as you ask about other Fraxel "victims"

Please read all the negative posts on Fraxel damage, there are several of them, including awalk's forum mentioned above. Then decide for yourself.
