Depending on what you are trying to treat with the Fraxel Restore, many patients have significant results from just one treatment. However, if you do need more than one treatment, you should probably wait 1-3 months in between each treatment. See an experience laser dermatologist to get a better idea of what your skin needs.
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.

Fraxel uses a fractionated technology, resulting in less downtime and risk of side effects.

In my experience, there should be no reason why your diabetes should preclude you from receiving treatment with Fraxel. Your physician will likely want to know your recent A1c or a history of finger sticks to make sure that you are well-controlled enough for adequate healing, but other than that...
The Fraxel Repair can be an excellent tool for upper and lower eyelid tightening, but it can be a very tricky area to treat and care must be taken to avoid eye injury. The results are especially great when combined with CO2 laser resurfacing. Make sure you see an expert laser dermatologist...
Fraxel re:store or re:pair can be initiated at suture removal or one to two weeks after suture removal. In a pilot study in 2005, following Moh's micrographic skin cancer surgery, we resurfaced half a scar at suture removal and the other half was left as internal control. We demonstrated that at...
