I have completed two Fraxel Restore sessions for facial scars, but I still have many scars on my face. The setting used on me was 45 mjoules. Is this enough, or too low? What is the usual setting for this procedure?

Answer: Fraxel restore settings vary, depending on skin type and condition being treated Your physician can vary the settings, and we have found that the best results are achieved using high energy (50-70mJ and high density (25-35% coverage). Your social downtime will increase with these settings, but most patients are willing to accept this to gain the better results.

Answer: Hard to answer your Fraxel question In order to answer your question, I would first need to know a little bit more about your skin color, tone, texture and your age, as well as the overall condition of your skin to be treated and what you are trying to improve. The Fraxel Laser has multiple ways of implementing a treatment plan or perscription to achieve your desired results.

Answer: 45 may be a little low Acne scarring and facial scars do need more intense treatment settings for better outcomes. Most of my acne scarring patients will have settings between 50-70 for the milli-joules. As already mentioned, it is NOT common to see a result after 2 treatments with the Fraxel restore. For scarring, it will take between 4-6 treatments for most patients. Even though most patients with facial scars need more intense treatment settings, there are patients that cannot tolerate those settings and will need to turn the settings down. These patients will likely not obtain optimal results and will likely need more treatments for better results.

Answer: Fraxel settings should be determined by an experienced physician Have you discussed your concerns with your physician? In general, 70mj is the best for acne scars, but there may be a reason for your doctor to be treating you lower (skin type, pain threshold).
