Persistent Dryness Even 10 Days After Fraxel Repair

The PyratineXR is a great product (for me). It helped immediately. It is the only thing that helped. I showed it to my doctor and told him how well it worked for me. He is researching it himself. I plan to ask him what he thinks about it when I see him this week. I would use it as my regular daily moisturizer but I don't think I can afford the price. I am on my second tube and $276 poorer. As far as Fraxel is concerned, I am not sure that the results were worth the $5,000 cost (in my case). I wish it could be cheaper. My main motivation for seeking the treatment was hypopigmentation. It didn't help much with that problem. It reduced the apprearance of some small scars that I had. I didn't have any wrinkles, so I can't comment on that. If it was cheaper, I would do it again. Though, if I can get the money together, I may still do it again anyway because even a little improvement is better than none. Thanks for checking in with me. Kimmy

Thanks for your prompt reply Dr. Weiner. Your advice is much appreciated. My doctor was able to see me today. He applied some Desonate gel and gave me a script for it. He also suggested that I change to a different moisturizer. I was using Dermalogica's Active Moist (which is light). He applied NIA24 to my face. If these two changes don't work, I am going to try PyratineXR. In any case, I am going to ask my doctor about it. Thanks again. Kim
