Wow! I am 2 days post Fraxel and I was NOT expecting to look like this! If you have somewhere to go, I don't recommend this treatment if you have somewhere to go within 2 or so weeks after treatment . I had numbing cream prior to treatment and I still felt discomfort ( I also have a very high pain tolerance) I don't recommend this if your not good with pain.. I am so swollen and itchy and have blisters all over my face.. it looks disgusting! I am really hoping I get great results to make this worthwhile because right now I am VERY uncomfortable and starting to question my decision

I hope you get the desired result. I'm thinking of having this but the horror stories on hear are off-putting.

I really haven't noticed any change.. I am disappointed because I still have freckles and thought they would go .. so far I am not impressed.. hopefully it gets better in time

Ahh, freckles are nice - wish that is all I had to be concerned about. My skin is awful by comparsion: greasy, facial veins, large pores and wrinkles. You're still in the very early days of your recovery, give it time.

Any update on how it is now?

I honestly don't notice any difference ... I would not recommend this treatment at all so far and it's been about 3 weeks

Thanks for the update. If you could keep posting updates like every few weeks that would be great. I heard it can take time to notice changes like 3 months.

I went to my clinic today and we compared before and today's photos and there is a big difference in the size of my poors... it's reduced the poor size and slightly tightened the skin

I actually think the freckles on your cheeks are cute. Is that the before photo and I hope you weren't trying to get rid of them?

Maybe to a before and after. Put them side by side and see if there's a difference? I was considering something like this prior to my wedding .

I've done this for my wedding.. minimal change.. not enough to justify the horrible healing process

Fraxel and cold sores

I forgot to mention! Make sure you take tablets to avoid coldsores if you get cold sores... because your skin is being burnt around your mouth you are at high risk of cold sores... I didn't get the tablets and I cold sores

Thank you for sharing that information. Are you happy you did this treatment?

No I wouldn't recommend ... too much down time for the minimal results

That is frightening! Most people have been exposed to the herpes virus and have had cold sores at some point in their life. This would never be something I could tolerate.
