I had the fraxel repair done 10 days ago. I was worried about being put in twilight because I have a paradoxical reaction to Versed, but I was fine.
After my procedure that day, I didnt remember a thing ( I was out of it). My face was covered in blood and it looked really painful. I was prescribed Vicodin and ended up taking only one. It didn't hurt that bad.. and I have a low Pain tolerance.
The first couple days I had swelling and oozing. I was able to go out after day 6 without scaring someone.
Today my face is dry and itchy and I have noticed only very subtle results so far. My doctor told me to be patient for results but I just can't see my scars improving THAT MUCH more over time. I will give you guys updates.

HI Kiley,
Welcome to the community. Did you ask your doctor if there is anything you could put on your face to stop the itching. I'm glad it didn't hurt too much though. What prompted you to decide to have the procedure? Please keep us updated and if everything goes well we would love to see pictures.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
Well I am glad you are feeling a little better about the experience and today you are looking just slightly sunburned. Please keep us updated.
Thanks,
-Britt
