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.

Had Fraxel Restore 6 weeks ago and I am worried about long-term problems. If you are a Fraxel victim, PLEASE answer the following questions for me: 1- When was your treatment(s)? 2- What treatment did you have and how many? 3- What were the settings at? 4- What was the manufacturer of the unit used on you? 5- When did you see problems arise and what were the first signs of damage? 6- What damages are you experiencing now? Please advise. Thanks for your help, and I wish you all the BEST in your situation!

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.

http://cbs3.com/video Go here and type in "Facing The Pain". This is awalk aka Angela Walker. So sad. She saved me from this terrible experience and I think about her everyday even though I didn't meet her personally.

Wow, well that makes me very paranoid. I have already gone through the bad side effects of another treatment, I was hoping the fraxel would help the scarring from the other treatment mishaps. Geez

Same here markk, I am being told fraxel might help get rid of lumps from Novielle injections (done a year ago). Too scared now.
