Has Fraxel Repair Been Used to Treat Strip Scars for Hair Transplants? (photo)

August 4, 2012
Asked By:Scott Holmes

I have a strip scar 6 -8 inches in length on my head from a Hair Transplant Surgery I had 6 years ago. As I was having a treatment to conceal the scar via micro pigment, the practitioner informed me of fraxel repair. I am now desperate to find a doctor with experience in Fraxel Repair who can inform me of the expectations of having Fraxel Repair done to correct this type of scar! Please help, any information would be greatly appreciated!

Narin (Joe) Apisarnthanarax, MD says:

There is no standard for the time to wait between Fraxel treatments.  I recommend that you wait somewhere between 4-6 weeks after each treatment.  The amount of time, and number of treatments, before you notice the results varies (age, skin, severity), but you should still be seeing...
