Christine and James, Thank you for your replies. I don't think I will do it..Anyways, I think about both of you. (except James, I don't really know your story but you seem traumatized) I had a very bad experience in a similar sort of way to Christine's and it really messed my mind up for a long time. I KNOW I suffered post traumatic syndrome. Christine, be careful with your emotions. My heart goes out to you. I DO THINK things will get better and you will discover amazing strengths about yourself having gone through this. You have so many people out here silently praying and rooting for you.
To Christine and James,
Thank you so very much for you dedication in replies to this website. Christine, thank you for your honesty and heart. James, thank you for your informative comments.
I am 49 year old "procedure" virgin, hesitantly contemplating Fraxel Repair. Both of you have contributed input to greatly balances out the hype I have read. I went to a Fraxel presentation, and I asked "how do I know how MY SKIN will respond?" No real answer except patch test.. How does that work? Test a patch and watch it a few weeks, then come back for treatment?
I tend to get red (rosacea perhaps?) and I DO have sensitive skin such that Retin A and Obagi product just shreds it. I fear I might be too sensitive for Fraxel. Your words have heightened my hesitancy.
Christine, is your skin sensitive?
I will keep you both in my prayers.
