How long until you see final results of fraxel laser resurfacing?

Dear eyelid123,

Fractional ablative resurfacing, using a Fraxel or other
laser devices generally will require three to six sessions depending on energy
levels, each separated by between one and six weeks. In general after a series of treatments of
adequate energy level, waiting four to six months to assess the results would
be a conservative approach to scar management.
In this time certainly non-ablative fractional and non-fractional laser
such as intense pulse light therapy or the infrared non-ablative fractionals
and radio frequency bulk heating devices can continue to be used on a monthly
basis.

Patients and time following laser treatments is usually your
best friend and over aggressive treatments particularly in non-Caucasian skin
can lead to complications, so conservative and a metered more gradual approach
is indicated.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and for
