Goodness! Home three weeks. Wow. My first treatment I missed six days of work. Second about the same and third treatment only about four days. First and third treatments were for pigment. Second was more aggressive for texture and I had more swelling.
The Fraxel was applied to your lips? I didn't think they could do that. I had three treatments. Pretty good results but I do have stubborn pigmentation that won't budge altho it is lighter. The last treatment did nothing which was disappointing. My skin does appear very smooth. So overall I look better. I may consider IPL treatments for a few broken capillaries. Let me know how you continue to heal.
I had Fraxil Repair. They were telling ms about Fraxil Restore for later on as maintenance. Much stronger settings this time. I'm off til next week. Hoping I can return to work then. I work in retail so appearance is important. I was led to believe swelling would be 2 or 3 days. I'm flaking a bit today and very tight, dry and red. Swelling under eyes and across nose and cheekbones. I'm taking Bebedryl but all that does is make me sleep.
Bandages from a fraxil laser????? I've had two fraxil lasers and not one bandage. Very red color and tight skin. Pretty severe swelling too. However I don't look like I've been thru a meat grinder. Applying ointment constantly.
I had a fraxil laser on my face and neck Friday. This is my second treatment. The first one was FREE, as part of a cosmetic procedure pkg. Well I think they had it on the lowest possible setting. My results were minimal. So I decided to go for it and fork out $1,500 and have another one. I am having a totally different experience so far. My face is very very swollen. This morning my eyes were almost swollen shut; bridge of nose and under eyes were also very swollen. I am very red. Using Skin Medica products; sensitive cleanser and healing ointment. Moisturizer and sunscreen after I heal. This treatment was much more aggressive, per my request. Luckily I am able to take off work this week. I work in retail and there is NO WAY I could show up for work looking like this. The first laser helped a bit with pigmentation but that was it. I wanted this one to also target texture and resurfacing. I do have tiny white bumps on my chin. The gal who did the procedure is very supportive. I am texting her a photo daily. So far so good. She says I am perfectly normal; lots of swelling and bright red. Skin feels very tight. I will keep everyone posted.
