Fraxel Re:Store is an excellent laser for darker skins, including brown and Asian skin. Because dark skin is more easily discolored than pale skin, we use the laser at a lower setting. I have had extensive experience treating melasma and hyperpigmentation on Asian skin with Fraxel. Please find a board-certified dermatologist who has successfully used laser therapy with your skin type before.
Hi Lina,Fraxel re:store is safe to use in all skin types. In Asian skin treated for melasma (brown pigmented area on your cheek), the settings need to be low, and the time interval between treatments need to be longer.It is also important to discuss with your treating physician the use of skin bleaching cream before and after your treatments.Good luck and be well.Dr. P
Fraxel is one of the safest lasers for your skin type. Prior to this technology, many of the lasers were risky for asian skin because of the risk of darker discoloration (what is referred to as hyperpigmentation). This risk does exist with this laser, but with the right physician (trained in laser surgery) and with careful evaluation of you skin before and after the treatment, this risk is significantly reduced. I have seen wonderful results in many of the Asian patients that I have treated with the Fraxel.
Greeting, Yes, fraxel laser treatment is an effective solution for under eye wrinkles. However there are many other treatments you can try before fraxel laser treatment. Best of luck Dr Milan Doshi Mumbai, India

We own both the repair and restore, in addition to 4 other resurfacing lasers. 1. The restore will do almost nothing for vertical lip lines. 2. Even with 2 treatments, the repair will probably only soften vertical lip lines. 3. The only way to predictably erase vertical lip lines is...
Are you asking about the Fraxel repair or the restore? One thing to consider is the skin color of the patient. If a patient has darker skin, I would more strongly favor treating the entire face. I have done the treatments both ways and patients have been happy, but some do regret not doing...
You may have Fraxel Re:store treatments while taking Coumadin but you may have small bleeding points for a day or so afterwards. This would not affect the success of your laser treatment but you would need to plan for some downtime.
