I have read several answers here, but there seems to be a lack of consensus and even contradictions at times. Essentially, all I wanted to know is if I got Fraxel Repair done for my acne scars, would the results be permanent (UNTIL I age, of course)? I am 23, I eat healthily, I have a good hygiene regimen, but I have acne scars from cystic acne. Will several sessions of Fraxel Repair last me with permanent results UNTIL I age, or do I have to go for periodic visits, say every 5-10 years?

Thank you for your question. For the full effect to be in place, taking into consideration the diversity in response, and how much different the levels of sun damage are, there could be perhaps 6-12 months for the maturity to be there. I do not see any improvement beyond a year. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your question. Rarely does one session do everything that is needed. When sessions are spaced that close, the energy levels are lower and less socially disruptive. There are many ways to improve skin quality. Be sure to see a Board Certified Dermatologist or Board...
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!
