I'm 52 and have suffered from acne since I was 19. I have scarring, but what's really bugging me is the orange peel look and some wrinkles, especially a couple that ran from my eye across my cheek. Although I've only had one treatment so far, and there's still a lot of dead skin attached to my face, I do see improvement in those particular wrinkles, though not in others. I was told I would definitely notice improvement after my second treatment which is in late July. I was given TNS and Ceramide moisturizer for my skin care.

Wading, Congratulations on your first Fraxel treatment... it's great to hear you are pleased with your results thus far, and I hope you will have complete success in achieving significant improvement.

The SkinMedica TNS line is fabulous for post-Fraxel! Dr. Persky informed me it was actually developed by a doctor (Fitzgerald, I believe?) who was instrumental in the Fraxel development process.

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted on your progress!
