I had fraxel done last year on my face (laser resurfacing). I did 6 treatments- 1 month apart. It helps with scars and sundamage. I personally was not impressed with the procedure as my acne scars are still pretty noticeable (at least to me). I likely will be getting laser treatment for those specific areas. I am a redhead and have very very sensitive paper thin skin. Not sure if the fraxel was a good idea. I would be swollen for up to 5 days and would have scabs for 7 to 10 days. It was pretty painful even with lidocaine gel.
I am having Co2 laser done on my chest right now for sundamage/wrinkles, then I get the area treated with microderm abrasion a week later (total of 5 treatments, I have done 3 thus far)-will see how this turns out. I personally like the microderm part-it makes my skin feel smooth.
I would like to get microderm done on my face regularly but it can get pretty pricey.
