Pros: I can see a real difference and my skin continues to improve

Cons: redness and swelling after Fraxel

I have had cystic acne since I was a teen (I'm 30), and I have scarring all over my face. During the consultation, Dr. Shelton answered all of my questions and explained the pros and cons of each treatment available (he spent about 45 minutes with me). My first treatment included punch grafts, in which tiny pieces of skin were taken from behind my ear to "fill in" the deep pits I had. His care was meticulous, and he even called that night to see if I was in pain.  I am undergoing Fraxel treatments, and see improvement each time.

Great review?

HI CMG, 

Did the peeling of the Fraxel effect your pinch treatment? 

Thanks,

The Fraxel has helped to smooth out the punch grafts. Since they are "new" skin, they were raised and red. 4 weeks was needed between the grafts and the first Fraxel treatment.
