I just had my first Restore last week and plan on more. My doctor, like most doctors, suggests another session in 5 weeks. But I have also read that results take months to appear since the collagen remodeling process can take 4-6 months. So why does everyone suggest more sessions when your skin is still healing/remodeling?? Wouldn't that interrupt the very remodeling process you're trying to encourage? And how would you know if you even need more sessions at that point? I don't understand.

Thank you for your question. I think the improvement in this particular area will be minimal. The skin is so thick the improvement is just not as profound as it is on the face. I hope this helps!
If you are very worried, you should see the doctor that performed the treatment on your skin, however, this is not an unusual response after Fraxel laser treatment. Everyone heals at a slightly different rate, so I wouldn't worry much at this point. In certain light you will be able to see...
Thank you for your question. There is transient dryness to the skin, and copious hydration is needed after a fractional treatment. I recommend a good non-oil moisturizer and sunscreen. You may need a mini-lift, but I would wait 6-8 months before asking that question. I hope...
