Several posters do not mention which Fraxel treatment they had done. I had fraxel repair done 3 months ago in Charlotte,NC and I love the results. The 1st 4 days I hardly recognized myself, I was so swollen. I had my neck and face done and I'm glad I did both at the same time. I feel so much better about myself. I still have some wrinkles but I notice the biggest difference around my eyes, neck and jowls. I think the results depend on the settings of the machine. My eyes were set at 30% density &25 mj,neck@40% & 30mj, and face @ 40% and 60mj. I'm not sure, but I think the swelling may be at least partially due to the dental blocks. It seems like there were about 20 blocks. I never had much pain, but the discomfort from the swelling and constant oozing was miserable. I would advise sleeping in a chair for a couple of days as the face swells when you lay down. Mornings are the worst. The first day I woke up and looked in the mirror, I got weak and almost passed out it was so horrible looking. You'll love the results for wrinkles, but ask about the settings and discuss the mj as well. They say 4-5 days, but there was no way I could go out for a week and then I looked beet red. I'm still redder in the neck and chin area. I hope this helps someone
