Yes, please keep posting. I had Fraxel Restore 4 weeks ago today and still have a few pimples. I am 54 and never have been acne prone and the breakout has been awful. I'm hoping I don't have permanent scars from it. She finally gave me some samples of an Obagi acne program that seem to be kicking the acne out of the picture. She did a very, very agressive first treatment though, because I indicated I only wanted one treatmenet.I was just looking at improving a few scars and maybe getting a bit of a lift, but the main reason was to stimulate collagen production. They say it will be a few months before that really kicks in. The hardest thing for me has been the sunblock, but I've kept using it. I live in the sub-tropics and I've had a lot of sun exposure the past 15 yrs. I hardly wear makeup and definitely no foundation and all sunblocks feel heavy. I've been using the Jane Eyredale powder sunblock though, and it's not too bad. I have a Shiseido 55 sunblock for the face that isn't horrible. I have to say, the one outstanding thing I've seen is that the awful sundamage on my neck is almost invisible now. As a matter of fact, my neck looks really good. I wasn't really concentrating on that aspect of it. So...I'll report back then too.
