“Fraxel Restore for Sun Damage - Nice Results but Worried About Long-term Effects”
Not Sure
Spent: $700 in Mequon, WI
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!This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

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.
