Can the claims from people that say Fraxel lasers have ruined their skin, causing fat loss and other damages be true?

The Fraxel Duo laser is an excellent laser if used under the correct parameters. This is a skin resurfacing laser that should be operated by a Doctor, Physician Assistant, or Nurse practitioner with knowledge and experience of the skin. My patients receive improvement of their texture and tone, smaller pores, and evening out of pigment and brown spots. In our practice we achieve excellent results with acne scarring. For effective treatment regimen we recommend  4-6 sessions spaced out 4 weeks apart. From our 10 years of experience with this laser, and hundreds of treatments we have not seen fat loss post procedure.

Using physics and the fact that Fraxel Dual wavelengths are only superficial the chances of fat loss is extremely slim. The laser wavelength only penetrates to much less than one mm into the skin -1000 microns, fat on the other hand lies many mm deeper, depending on the area. All the best, Dr Davin S.
