So far I am pleased with the results. I think you have to realistic going into it, not thinking the result will be perfect skin, but improvement. The doctor I had also started me on the lowest setting. Doctor prepared me it may be 2 or 3 treatments before i begin to even see results. Pix show progress.

you should start using a skincare line called Jan Marini, it def. will help you. Its even recommended to use it in combination with Fraxel, in the period after. :) good luck!

Thanks. Had my 3rd treatment just about 2 weeks ago so I'll have to take another picture. Although I don't feel like these photos show it, I could still see some of the larger scars which are now starting to fill in.

Your results look fabulous! I live in Cincinnati too. Who was your Dr?

I don't think we are allowed to actually give the doctor names on this site - if you email me, I could probably tell you that way.

I see other doctor names listed on this site - so I'll give it a shot - his name is Doctor Mohammad Diab. He is a dermatologist that I had been seeing for the last year as I had to go on acutane (my 2nd time on that medicine due to severe acne.) I liked him better than my other dermatologist and he talked about fraxel given the amount of scars I had over time. He does the fraxel in his 'skin care' location and to be honest, it definitely is NOT an upscale cosmetic place - it's a building that used to be a bank and now contains an urgent care with his small office for cosmetic procedures. If I hadn't seen him before in his dermatologist office, I'd be skeptical by the looks of things, but its been fine (probably helps keep the cost down on the treatments I'm sure.) He is also fairly cautious and starts on the lowest setting. Also, you cannot see it in the photos, but others are right that you have "red dots" left in your skin - you can't see these until you look in a magnified mirror. But in comparison to the bad scarring I had, it's a definite improvement and I'd still do it again.

Anne, I have bad acne scars and I know it's a long process and my face will never be perfect, but will improve. Think many people don't understand how long of a process fraxel is. I just finished my 3rd fraxel and with each time I went I saw slight improvement but I'm only halfway done with fraxel so only time will tell. Good luck, and you look great!

2014 Update

Anne in CinciApril 29, 2014
Been quite a long time since I had this treatment. In 2014, the results are definitely fading as I began to go and get chemical peels again in an effort to keep up the smoothness. Looking at the original photo, I think it's still better than it was, but slowly over time I can see the scars reappearing. I think the only other treatment would be ablative resurfacing that would give much longer lasting results. Unfortunately, it can be quite expensive and doctor says takes a full week to heal. I think I will wait a while, but it is something I may try in the future as my results fade. It's a scary procedure to me, as basically you have to hope your skin heals properly. But I'm not sure I want to spend more money on fraxel for a few years of good results, vs. more money with maybe 10 years of longer lasting results. I still have no regrets with the procedure I had as it did improve my skin.

Hi I'm think about having Fraxel. Did you experience any bad aside affects like pin holes in the skin or anything?
