I just finished my 5th and final Fraxel laser treatment last Friday. I am 58 years old with acne scarring consisting of pits on my lower cheeks. I also have lines above my lips. The treatments were fairly painful, but not bad with a Valium. My face was very red for about a week, then a lot of flaking. It looks better, especially around my eyes, although some scarring is still visible and the lines are still above my lips. I am going to have Botox tomorrow and and am considering Juvederm. They say it takes 6 months for the Fraxel to achieve maximum results. The Botox will make the results look better, but I am unable to be patient and cannot resist going ahead with it.
