I Am a Type 1 Diabetic and Am Interested in Fraxel Re:pair, Am I a Candidate?

Question

Type 1 Diabetic with somewhat stable but not perfect blood sugar would like to know if anyone has treated anyone who is Type 1 and if the healing time/complications were worse. I am 45, blond, 110 lbs, fair skin. Thank you very much.

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 Diabetes should not be a factor. Hope this helps!

I am quite familier with type I diabetes. Although wound healing is somewhat slower in these patients, but there is no reason that with the appropriate precautions & goal setting that you could be treated. I have treated patients with type I diabetes without any problems to date. Discuss with your dermatologist for various available options for the condition you like to be treated.
