Hi Red,I love treating red heads with fair skin with Fraxel repair as they respond very well to the treatment. It does on average take a few more days for the red head's skin color to return to normal. As with any laser procedure there is risk of infection, but not increased risk because of fair skin or red hair. We have been fortunate to have not had an infection during the 18 months that we have been treating patients with Fraxel repair.Good luck and be well. Say hi to Rickie for me.Dr. P
If you are very fair skinned, you will probably have some pinkness to your skin that will last a bit longer than in the average patient. The risk of infection is extremely low. I have only seen 2, and in one case the patient's dog licked her face when she got home. Neither patient suffered any problems from the infections (i.e. no scarring). Problems occur when patients aren't followed closely by a qualified doctor (dermatologist or plastic surgeon). It is very important for your doctor to be able to realize when their is a problem and how to treat it. Take care, Dr. Groff

Hi Kim, I have treated many patients with Fraxel re:pair who desired improvement in their pores. I can think of many who are very pleased, and two that are not. Fraxel re:pair does a lot to rejuvenate the face and to make patients look years younger. My experience with pore size is that there...
What you have sounds like small cysts and neither Fraxel Re:pair or Fraxel Re:store are expected to treat these. First the cysts would be removed surgically and then the scars from such treatment could be made better by the Fraxel lasers.
Fraxel repair is used to reduce wrinkles and signs of skin aging. It also reduces scars including acne scars. While aloe vera might be useful, it is most important to the healing process to keep the area adequately moisturized and protected from the sun. Although Fraxel restore is the one fraxel...
The cost is going to vary from region to region and by the level of expertise of the treating physician. Roughly $4000-$6000 for full face and this may include the neck at some practices.
"Acne scars need a combination approach for long-term improvement. Everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, and most people have various types of scars, so we create a tailored treatment plan for each patient. We often use: - Injectable fillers like Bellafill and Sculptra (with or w...
