How many months does it take to see great results after 3 fraxel 5500 treatments?

Question

I'm 53 yrs old and 1 week ago I had my 2nd of 3 treatments on my face and neck. Both treatments left me with some pimples on top & underneath the surface of my skin on my face. My skin is itchy as well. My doctor said she was being aggressive with my treatment to help with lines under my eyes, large pores, evening of skin color and for overall toning of my skin. Also, the skin on my neck seems to be more crepey then before my treatments. Are these issues typical? Thank you

It can take several weeks to months for laser treatments to settle. This type of laser takes a series of treatments and with usually a combination approach gives the most improvement. I recommend lasers with microneedling and prp to improve outcomes. I recommend following up with your Doctor about appropriate after care. In my practice we are very particular about pre and post skin care with patients.  This is customized to the persons skin type and condition treated. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Fraxel is a non-invasive laser treatment that utilizes fractional laser technology that helps your skin look newer and younger. Side effects may include redness and a sunburned feeling that dissipates in a few hours after treatment. The maximum results are usually achieved in 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, it is difficult to assess the effects of fraxel laser without an evaluation. I recommend you see an expert. Best of Luck!

Fraxel is the idea laser to treat fine lines and sun damage.  New collagen re-modeling takes up to 4 months to see after the last treatment.  Without before and after photos it is difficult to asses the effectiveness of the treatment.  Please consult an expert in Fraxel. Best, Dr. Green
