Fraxel Laser (Fraxel re:store) Patient Testimonials

What Patients Are Saying About the Fraxel® Laser Treatment (Fraxel re:store) for Acne and Surgical Scars

“I’m getting married in June, and I decided that if there was any time to do something to treat my acne scars now would be the time. After my fourth and final treatment with the Fraxel laser, I’ve really been impressed with my results. And my dermatologist said that my skin will continue to improve over the next several months, as the treatment keeps working in rebuilding collagen. Normally I would never goout of the house without makeup, but now I can because my skin looks so much better that I don’t feel self-conscious about it.”

Dahnyalle K., age 24, a paralegal in Oakhurst, CA.

“I suffered from cystic acne as a teenager, and as a result ended up with really deep acne scars. I used to wear heavy foundation, but my acne scars were so bad that makeup couldn’t cover them. Now, after three treatments with the Fraxel laser, my skin is so much smoother and even my pores got smaller.I think the technology promotes a more natural healing approach that produces even better results than the surgical procedures I’ve tried in the past.”

Joanne R., age 32, a CPA in Upper Saddle River, NJ.

“I’ve been living with a scar on the left side of my face ever since I was a baby, and whenever I sought treatment for it I always got the same response from doctors: ‘I can’t do anything for you.’ But when I was referred to my current dermatologist, he suggested we try the Fraxel laser. I’ve had five treatments so far, and I’ve definitely seen an improvement in the color of the scar and the texture seems smoother. My fiancé is really impressed with my results so far, and she’s encouraging me to keep going back for treatment.”

“Working in the beauty industry, I know that my appearance is in some way connected to my credibility. That’s why I’ve spent so much time and money on products and treatments to try to cover up my acne scarring, but nothing worked. After doing a lot of research on dermabrasion and phenol peels, I decided that these treatments had the potential for too many problems and the results could be iffy. When I read about the Fraxel laser in a magazine, I talked to my dermatologist about it and waited two years until he was ready to test it on me. I was expecting the worse in terms of redness and swelling following the treatments, but after my first treatment I was able to go back to work the same day. And the best part is the results are subtle enough that people tell me my skin looks great, but they don’t really know I’ve had something done. After three treatments, my skin has improved significantly and continues to get better.”

Sheila C., age 35, beauty industry executive

“When I was pregnant, I developed what my doctor described as the worst case of cystic acne that he had ever seen. Now, after only three treatments with the Fraxel laser, my skin looks so much better that I actually left the house without makeup on for the first time in over four years. I’ve noticed a dramatic change in my pitting, pore size and skin tone and texture. My husband even told me I look as beautiful as the day he met me.”

Rose S., age 36, a VP in the hospitality industry, Carlsbad, CA.

“The cystic acne I had as a teenager really took a toll on my skin. I developed deep acne scars, and I was determined to do something to help myself look better. After undergoing numerous ablative treatments that caused me a lot of suffering in terms of side effects from the long and difficult recovery periods, I decided to try the Fraxel laser. After the first treatment, I noticed an immediate improvement in my skin. So many people have complimented me on my skin now – some have told me I look younger, or I look like I’ve been on vacation, or asked if I was wearing new makeup. I’ve really been happy with my results.”
