Micordermabrasion can be used after Fraxel, but why? Did you have enough Fraxel Restore sessions? If there is some smoothening to be done, the microdermabrasion will give more temporary results than the Restore.
It is unusual for the neck to hurt if the chest doesn't after Fraxel to both. Did you have Restore or Repair? Were the Fraxel energies the same? See your doctor to try new soothing creams. It may take another week to improve. If it was Fraxel Repair, make sure you get evaluated as it is more of...
