UPDATED FROM kinglet
Ultimately satisfied with results especially looking back after so many years.

Looking at the photos today, my skin definitely looked more vibrant and smooth even in the longer term. I had deep melasma in some areas from years of not using sunscreen in CA. Plus I only had 1 treatment so the results were excellent for me. I can only comment on my experience. Dr. Reichel and staff were very responsive to concerns and questions. Yesterday I tried Clear and Brilliant so check out that review.

My skin is better for sure but still have coffee stained skin; albeit lighter. I had 1 treatment so likely better results if I went back in.

Obagi gives GREAT results! Just keep with it and you will see HUGE improvement over time.

So, I have flipped and am now undecided. Initially, the results looked awesome but now, my skin is more blotchy and dark. The melasma returned with a vengeance. So, I returned to the doctor and she agreed that perhaps I am of the small percentage that do not react well with Fraxel Dual. She is working with me to improve my skin. And for that I am both grateful and impressed with her integrity. She's got me on Obagi to see if that improves things. Will keep you posted.

Thanks very, very much for your in-depth report and pictures. Just met with my dermatologist who recommended Fraxel and I'm trying to get more information. Hope the Obagi works for you.

HI Kinglet, Thank you for your post. I am thinking of doing the Dual for melasma and I am wondering two months later if your melasma is better, worse, or the same as before you had the Dual.

Hi Kingslet - I'm wondering how you are doing and if your thoughts have changed...would love an update!

Hi Kingslet - I would also like to know how your melasma is. I am thinking about scheduling the co2 Fraxel the 23rd of this month and have never done any of these type treatments before. I am about 50/50 with reading the positive comments on line and negatives. Tossed on weither I should do it or not:(

Sorry I never responded to the comments in 2011. I just miss all of these. I was ultimately happy with the results but that was seven years ago and now at 56 I am trying some new treatments. The melasma did resolve with BBL but yearly touch ups help a lot. Now I am trying Clear and Brilliant...
