Hi All, I've done a lot of reading on this - the Fraxel Repair (or "Re:pair as opposed to Fraxel Restore, which uses erbium fractional laser) has only yesterday become available in Australia. Fraxel Re:pair is CO2 fractional laser requiring only 1 treatment(there's a few different brands), whereas Fractional Restore is the current one using erbium that requires several treatments (needs about 3 - 5). Yesterday i went to see the first Australian dermotologies that's using it (Dr A). He'd done it on his neck to try it out (looks like a VERY agressive treatment. All red, bleading, weeping after 18hrs post-). Today I went to see the leading Sydney laser treatment centre today (Dr B) - he's getting the laser in 2 weeks. He has a list as long as your arm of a waiting list. I want to see the results before i commit to it. I am waiting for you guys to tell me how it goes, plus the results from Dr A and B. Dr B told me he's NEVER had any probs with current Fraxel Restore, which makes me a bit sceptical after reading all these nightmare stories. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time and that you have to wait to see good results. What we do for looks, eh! LMN
