Fraxel was amazing in clearing my skin of old acne...

WORTH IT$1,400

Fraxel was amazing in clearing my skin of old acne scars and reddened blemishes. After 3 treatments I couldn't even recognize myself in my before photos. It does hurt slightly during the treatment and you will be red for a day or so but it all goes away and you are left with amazing skin that you see in magazines!

I am not totally sure which type of fraxel it was. Your derm will recommend which type of procedure is best for your skin. Are you considering getting a treatment?

Yes I would like to get a treatment to get that flawless look but I'm scared about all the horror stories I read that fraxel damaged their skin.

Could you leave the house in the first week that you did it? If so, I imagine you did the fraxel dual. I just completed my second treatment- first day I was super red and second and third day swollen under eyes, and my skin looked/felt very dry. My skin started to eventually peel and by end of week I was fine. I also went to work everyday except the first day after treatment. I heard with fraxel restore you cannot leave the house for about 5-7 days because your skin is very raw.

There was definitely redness and swelling the first few days (3-4 days) and then dryness for the first week. By the end of the week it all went back to normal. I was able to resume daily activities right away and I used some make up to cover any redness. I was just careful not to work out/sweet too much on my face in the first few days.

Thanks for the reply. How many weeks did you separate the sessions?

I did the treatments every 4-5 months. I wanted to give ample time for my skin to heal itself and let the fraxel do its job before doing anything again.

So was it $1400 for each session or for 3 session? I really want to get fraxel laser too for my acne scars...

The price was the total for the 3 treatments, not each session.

So happy I found your review I live in westchester and have been looking for someone reliable. I called my derm and plastic surgeon and neither knew the difference between the two types of fraxel treatments (scary)! Going to look into this doctor. Your skin is beautiful!!!!

Thank you! You definitely should look into Dr.P. She is absolutely amazing and will tailor everything to your skin's needs and listen to your concerns. Beautiful healthy skin takes time but it's worth it in the end!
