I had fraxel repair and it was 1 treatment, there are 3 types of fraxel, refine, restore and repair, with repair being the most intense and usually needing only one treatment.
I was using aquaphor for the first 5 days then went to cetaphil lotion. I was using ice pack on my face to help with swelling. The healing process for me was amazingly fast as you can see from my pics. My friend had her fraxel repair done 2 weeks after mine and also had amazingly fast healing. I think you will also see dramatically fast healing in your self also. I dont know if you have been told about the extreme importance of using sun screen year around and often. According to my MD that is the number one reason for the rapid decline in the repair that was done by fraxel. I was also advised that fraxel restore would be a good follow up in a year or so.
Did you have the fraxel repair or the fraxel restore? I also got the white bumps on my chin but they soon disappeared. It took 9 days for my swelling to go down to normal and go out in public. I had the fraxel repair which is the most aggressive of the fraxels. I absolutely love my results. Just posted a 3 month after pic. Hope your results are what you have expected. Sounds like all is going well for you. Good luck and continue posting.
The results are fantastic! I love the way my skin looks and feels. Friends have said "wow, you are looking good" or "are you using a new make up". Not knowing that I have had Fraxel done, they see a difference but can not pin point it. I have been asked if I had a lift also. Had my last follow up last week. Doc suggested that I do a maintenance restore every year or so. Will see in a year. Only regret I have is not getting my neck done also! Maybe next year.
