Fraxel Laser

I'm doing well thank you!!! Been going to the gym and all. I just tell people around me what I did so they don't think I look crazy for no reason LOL. Are you thinking of doing it???

The recovery has been really easy! I'm done with any peeling (which was not bad) and skin back to normal and it has been a week. The worst of it was actually the lazer itself when you get 3+ rounds over your face (I only did 3 in the 1 sitting). The rest of the details and pics are all uploaded in my daily review. It was so much easier than I had inticipated. My only question is, how many are really required because it doesn't seem to be 1 and done if you want perfect skin. I'd definitely do if again (but it's pricey and that's the only issue I have with it).

I had Dual. I will tell you 1 treatment will not do the trick it's 3 and committed if you can do it. I didn't think I would need that much for $1200 a pop so I say sooooo not worth it. I'm opting to do facials with light peels and future IPL instead for a fraction of the cost.

Hi! I posted results through day 9. I say go for it. If you have a few days of down time (so you aren't too red at work, you'll be ok). It all depends on the level that your doc intends for you. Be sure to tell them what you expect. I had 3 rounds of the lazer over my face in 1 sitting (that is not as intense as 8 rounds over your skin, I imagine that hurts) from what I've read. The down time was very tolerable in my opinion and could've been done on a Thursday and back to work Monday if I did it again. I just had burnt looking skin the second day, days 3 and 4 were like sand paper and then it just exfoliated literally like sandpaper-very grainy. I do think I will need more treatments to get even more even skin texture though. Good luck on whatever you decide. Just ask your doc how many times they intend to go over your face and take it from there. Good luck!!

No DON'T DO IT!!

Great good luck!!! A couple questions to ask ahead of time.
1. How many 'passovers' do they plan to do? I had 3, some people get 8 and that is intense!! I think slow and steady is safer and once you've had 3 passovers it gets pretty uncomfortable. 2. If you are prone to cold sores, make sure you pre-treat (I didn't have this issue, but I've seen people blister if prone to that so take that seriously.). 3. How many treatments do they expect you to need? I didn't ask this but after I heal, I'm wondering now if I will need more and at $1250 a pop I was really hoping I'd be 1 and done. Good luck!!!

I will ask that! I know he recommended 3 treatments for me! I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for the advice
