I'm so pleased you did this. Most people don't show the "after effects" so i'm so grateful for this :) You look amazing and i cannot wait to see how your skin keeps responding xx
@@AngieHotandFlashy how come you didn't bleed? I just got this procedure done yesterday and my face bled a lot. Is this normal? The office said I'll heal fast but I'm not sure I'm supposed to bleed this,much
@@PinkDiamonds977 Did you check in with your dermatologist about your bleeding? How did it go about day two? Did you find the procedure gave you good results?
WOW. I don't think I have ever seen ANYONE (and I watch a lot of videos) be so thorough with their follow ups, angles, before and after photos and stills. PROPS to you. I really really appreciate that. So thank you.
I've had 4 fraxel treatments to help improve acne scars, so it was really deep, & painful. My Derm gave me a local to help tolerate the procedure. Afterwards it felt like I had burned my face on a toaster oven. I was also given a small fan that you gould squeeze a trigger & it would spray water on my face, that was so helpful to be able to tolerate the heat that I felt on my face the first night. I have to say, it was so worth having this done, It greatly improved my acne scars, & discoloration, as well as improved pore size, texture & gave an overall more youthful look to my skin. It took years off my 48 year old face. So happy your sharing your experience, for others to see. You look beautiful!
+Dawn Dalrymple I've always wondered if anything could be done for my acne scars. I didn't notice them so much in my 30's but after 40 they seem to look worse every year!
I had the same issue & I have to say the fraxel laser treatments have been life changing. For me it did take 4 sessions & I'd really like to have two more, but they are almost completly gone. It's an investment, but very much worth the down time, & cost. I have so much more confidence & besides helping with the scaring, I gained some firmness and my pigmentation issues are completely gone. I barley need any make up anymore because of the quality of my skin has improved so much & I've found using less make up even makes my skin look better too.
For acne scars it is permanent results & gets better up to 6 months after you have it done as new collagen is made from the treatment. Your Derm will want to see how well your skin tolerates the treatment, so the following treatments get deeper if you react well to it. My treatments were very deep, so there is a certain level of wound care that was involved in the start of the healing process, but I was looking pretty good at day 7. They video shown is a great example of what happens, but if your doctor is going deeper, imagine it a little worse than what was shown.
Oh wow, that's fantastic! I've always shied away from these treatments because I assumed the results only lasted a year or two at most. It's great to hear the results are permanent for acne scarring. I have some acne dimples on my temples and chin that aren't aging well, for lack of a better way to describe it. I'll talk to my derm at my appt. next month. Tyty!
Angie, thank you for taking the time to film yourself each day. It really gives those of us who are interested a chance to really see the day by day results and know what to expect in terms of down time. Your results are amazing so far! Thank u so much!!! Can't wait to hear more and final thoughts. 😘
I loved that your video showed a day by day of your actual experience. I've seen mostly a "before" of clients and the "after" is the improved (probably after many days of healing). It's important to see the reality of the procedure as it happens day by day. Thank you again.
Thank you so much from all of us 50+ plus gals who fried our skin back in the day in the name of beauty and are now considering having this done! You look absolutely radiant! I'm definitely talking to my derm about this procedure at my next visit!
I did Fraxel about five years ago, and (long term) I was pretty underwhelmed with the results. I wanted to target sun damage and melasma, but some places actually looked darker from the treatment! I am curious to see how you feel about the results over time.
My goodness Angie, what a difference ! I have so so many questions, hurry do that video, I can't wait to see and learn everything there is to know about that procedure. Like always thank you, thank you, thank you for all the time you take to do this and all the valuable information you share with us.
You are the best! Thanks for the up close and personal shots and as usual - your concise and truthful account so we can decide for ourselves if it's worth it! You look fabulous! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the progress as I am contemplating doing this.
I love your videos! You really do great before and after and the way you set it up, showing again back to back and then side to side. Your close ups are awesome. You don’t hide anything. Thank you so so much for being so real!
Your skin looks great ! May have to investigate this. Love how honest and forthright you are and really appreciate the close-ups. You really are my favorite. You provide factual information from your experience, it is appreciated. You look happier and younger !
Wow You've gone from beautiful to BEAUTIFUL. Great video. I am so disappointed in that I had scheduled a fraxel procedure but, the day I went in, the machine broke down and I didn't reschedule. I thought it was a sign. Now I HAVE to reschedule. You did a great job in showing the before, during and after. Thank you so much, Angie!!
For all the ladies out there that are looking for a "EZ on the wallet" way to help with fine lines/wrinkles, acne, sun damaged or large pores skin treatment, I recommend trying a derma-roller(do your homework and get a good quality one) & a home use microdermabrasion kit (like PMD)! The PMD does a great job on removing dead skin & product build up and the derma-roller helps rebuild skin collagen to repair damaged skin(sun, aging or acne). You can get both of these for under 200.00 total. I've had great success with these products. Couple these with a good skin oil like Vita C, Vita E or Argan oil and you'll see a big difference! Please keep in mind that these are not a quick fix, it takes time to rebuild beautiful skin just like it took time to damage it(all though damage seems to come easier to do lol)! Best Wishes Ladies ;-)
Hi Angei - I did a Obagi Blue Peel (TCA) with my plastic surgeon about a month ago. He didn't allow me to use anything on my skin except Aquaphor for two weeks (including sunscreen) because of a concern about my skin being sensitive to ingredients including fragrances. (I had to cover up with scarves and sunglasses and I wore a large hood when I walked my dogs.) The cost, Philly area (so, an also expensive location) was $800 and included a facial a week later to remove the remaining flaky skin. Like you I had the peeling commencing on the third day but the first day I looked like a character from Avatar. (Yes, I was blue.) I've had really good results and I feel that I could go out without wearing makeup. I'm going to continue to watch your journey with Fraxel - I think you've gotten good results! Isn't it amazing when the 'brown bits' come to the surface before sloughing off?
Thanks, Angie, for documenting this procedure so thoroughly. I can't wait for the details. Your skin looks really amazing. Woot! And such a short recovery!!
Your skin looks amazing, I can only imagine what it looks like in person. I cant wait for the full review to post, this may be what I have been searching for. Thanks for sharing your procedure with us, your videos have made a real difference in my life!
Angie, You're face is beautiful, before and after. I do see the improvement with the "after" as far as fine lines and dark spots and now I really want to have it done! :) I'm so grateful to you for all the wonderful videos! I've watched your videos whenever I am looking to use new products or when I'm researching what cosmetic procedures I'm thinking about having done, so, THANK YOU so much! You will forever be my #1 "Go-To-Gal!"
You are my favourite RUclipsr. I just went for a consult for both fraxel and the FSR. So pleasantly suprised to see this video..the timing couldn't have been better. Now I know what to expect...thank so much Angie xox
You look amazing! Excellent video showing post-procedure stages! It didn't look like it was intolerable. At day five, you were really in great shape and I was a little surprised that you sloughed off so quickly and the end result is fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
Angie, you are the very best on YT! You are so methodical with your reviews which I stills trust. Thank you for showing the procedure and look forward to the follow-up! You look beautiful !
Angie, I have watched your videos for so many years, you are my go-to lady when I am doing something new. I'm actually having C02 lasering done on February 3rd (2022), not this one, but it always helps me to search your channel for reference. Thank you for your wealth of information! ❤
Hey Susannah. . .I've been following Angie for awhile now too. Noticed your comment about getting a CO2 laser in a few days! I am on Day 8 of recovery from a CO2 laser treatment. It's an awesome procedure. The recovery is. . .let's call it challenging! I suggest you set aside a good 14 days and don't rush it. I am still quite red on Day 8. My doctor recommended waiting as long as possible to apply makeup as it could create an infection.. I am 61 and happy I found your uplifting channel! Good luck and I am sure you will be thrilled with the results!
You look amazing! Also...thank you SOO much for ALWAYS posting what makeup you're wearing. It seems every time I think it looks the best you are wearing a lot of IT Cosmetics products (which I too own and love!). I particularly love that blush on you!
So exciting, can't wait for the next video! I had Fraxel done too on my 43 year old skin to clear away some sun damage & to clear up my complexion, & I feel like my pores got slightly larger... My dermatologist said that's impossible, however I've seen some other reviewers mention it too. Let us know how that goes for you, you're looking great already though! My healing & peeling happened much slower, probably because of my hypothyroid/Hashimoto situation. Love your channel! 👍🏻😃
I have read the negative comments and laugh. first of all you look gorgeous. I am now on my third fraxel to remove acne scarring. it is painful but sorry for those who have had bad experiences. THIS WORKS. I have been suffering for years. even my boyfriend smiles. I always await my next appointment. I'm sure after the fifth fraxel my skin will look awesome for our wedding. I'm an interracial woman and it's said to be bad for us. WRONG. I am so glad to go through this. thx for posting
Beautiful result, Angie. You look amazing. I had something similar done about five years ago. I swear, during the sloughing off period, I thought I had RUINED myself!! I actually had no choice on one of those bad days, I had to leave the house. I practically wrapped my entire head and neck in a scarf...as if that really hid anything, lol.
Wow what a difference! 90% of ur sun spots disappeared and the wrinkles around your eyes are totally gone. Gorgeous results! Im definitely going to get this done. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! Love you for doing this. I'm just 50 and have already made my appt with my dermo to investigate... I started using retin a about 5 months ago, and your videos were so helpful! Thank you for everything you are doing.
Can't thank you enough for sharing your experience with us. I'm learning so much. I've only watched for a few months, but you seem to be growing younger! Can't wait for the in depth explanation.
I absolutely love the Fraxel. It toally doesn't hurt and makes a world of difference. You go girl! The surface of your face is so smooth. Perfect texture. Excellent job! So proud of you for trying it out. Big HUGS! xoxo Sharon
Thanks for the update Angie! Was wondering how it went, and how your healing was going. No questions, as you asked, and eagerly await your next video for more info on the procedure!
You look fantastic!! I have been putting off my appointment because I don't know what to expect. I need a visual. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait for you next video. Please don't make us wait to long!
With any laser treatment I've had (Gemini laser, Fraxel) and chemical peels (30% TCA-high powered 10 day recovery) I always try to eat pineapple the day before as well as use arnica tablets before/after to help with swelling and bruising. Post op I like Aquaphor as well as pure aloe to help with the redness, itching, and burning. Always ask your plastic surgeon what is best for your skin type and if it's okay to use. I have Ehler Danlos (a connective tissue disorder) so my swelling and redness is usually at least 3x what most people experience. Also, I can't express how important it is to do a test area because everyone's reaction is different. These tips really help keep the inflammation down (especially since I can't use steroids or NSAIDs) Your results look amazing :)
OMG, Your skin looks great with that treatment. with your makeup on your skin looks fabulous. I can see how your pores appear less visible and skin much smoother.
You look about 10 years younger! I'm not one to compliment without cause but WOW.! I can't wait for all the info. $$$$ and prep work for the procedure. I'm seriously impresses.
Kudos to you for having any kind of procedure. Since going through menopause, my skin is just too sensitive. Even drugstore creams will cause alot of irritation. You do look great. Definitely a success for you.
You were lucky. I was considering getting Fraxel:restore until I read all the horror stories about orange peel skin texture some people get afterwards. I'm not taking any chances.
Hi Angie! I just have to tell you this! I have made an appointment in Istanbul (because I live in Germany) for Fraxel laser, and I showed my husband this video. He said “ wow she’s beautiful and said you look amazing for 55”, I told him you’re my skin Guru. Thought you might to hear that. X
I’m so glad I discovered your video of your entire experience, you’ve provided so much insight and information! I’m 66 now, and highly considering this same type of treatment to tone and tighten up my aging skin. And, you look radiant and beautiful! I’m super interested to know what moisturizer you used or still use to keep your skin as hydrated as possible then and what you’re using now. I research high and low for non toxic and healthy skin and hair care products. I hope you still visit this video blog!
Wow, very nice of you to share the details. Your skin looks exceptionally smooth after the treatment.I'm such a chicken when it comes to that stuff but knowing what to expect after seeing your process helps!! Thank you! 💖 Your skin looks beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your fraxel experience. I, too, have been there, done that. Going for a 3rd treatment in the near future. A good serum really helped in the post-treatment stage as my skin didn't feel so dry and rough. Nice to view a blogger in her 50's to learn from and commiserate with. Enjoy your channel very much.
You look amazing !! Thank you for sharing this. You are really brave to not freak out the week during recovery. I would be crying n freaking out if I had to go through that
Great video, Angie. Terrific results. This is so different from my experience several years ago. Numbing cream was very WHITE cream that I had to put on at home---then drive to derm office. No pain, very few passes with laser. No sloughing. Possibly a different type of Fraxel?
Chris, pay no attention to Peter, his just a simple minded troll. David Lim has awesome skin. He's also, a great guy.. He knows Peter is just a troll!!
Thanks for sharing this Angie! You look like you had wonderful results. This is so great to go through the experience with you:) I'm going to be looking into this! Thank you!
Hi sorry I don't know what your name is but I just started watching your channel about a week now and you look so much younger and beautiful compared to your previous videos. Thanks for sharing your experience with the laser treatment and the use of Retin-A cream. I'm in the process of going through my skin treatment on my face as well as my body treatment like my arms and upper back. Your videos did help me a lot in making my decisions about my treatment plans and what products I should use. Your skin looks amazing!!! Thanks again!
my goodness, you look amazing! Not that you don't normally, but this definitely has made a difference in your skin. I'm not even familiar with this procedure, so I'll have to do some researching, but you look incredible. Thanks for taking the time to vlog and do updates, and before and after type pics.
Thank you so much for sharing the post procedure days. That really helps us to decide if we want to try this also. Looking forward to your next video on what you think it's done for you. In the pics here, I could see a difference and I am sure it got even better. You are just so wonderful for all your sharing on everything you have done. Xoxo
at the end if this video it is very noticeable that your skin is glowing and rejuvenated. can't wait for the follow up video of information. I may have this done myself.
This is such an awesome video. Very well documented. I just got mine done and I was curious of how i will look in the next few days. Thanks so much for sharing.
Ahu I just question. I’ve now watched all your fraxel videos and looking to book myself in. Can you share the reference for the study you mentioned about using Vit C after the procedure to aid in healing please?
Amazing results! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait for more info and details. This is the first I've ever heard of this procedure. Very interested!
I ha e done this like 6 years ago and it did not take 5 days. I believe the strength of what you received makes a difference. I also did not ice so long. I used the AC to cool it while driving. It just looked as if I had really bad sun burn. It peels like the next day. I never felt any pain. But my skin color is dark. Don’t know if that makes a difference.
Your skin looks amazing Angie. In your video that you talk more in depth about this procedure, could you tell us how long it takes to see maximum results and also the difference between the CO2 fraxel and what you did. Thanks Angie for always sharing❣️
omg! just beautiful! your skin is just radiating this glowy brightness. I swear u look 20 years younger! thanks for the info... this is something I'm gonna look into
The burning and peeling did freak me out a bit just because u can't see the end result. I'm glad u shared this so we can come the awesome end results. I'm curious if this procedure can have any bad results for the skin later on and what the cost is.
You look fantastic!! Really looking forward to your next video about this Angie! I had one Fraxel treatment done about 10 years ago to improve acne scarring. My dermatologist recommended 4 treatments but I was only able to have one before I got pregnant with my first child. I would love to do it again now that I am also fighting sun damage and aging skin. Curious if you will need to do more treatments, or if the multiple passes eliminates the need for that.
Question. I had Fraxel treatments when they first came out in 2008. And as they have done for you, the effects have lasted a good while! You look great! But, now that I’m almost 50, I’m starting to see more fine lines. I would like to go in and get something done. Have you heard of Ematrix? I’m getting it done next week, but I’m afraid I’m going be wasting my money and it might not do anything for me. I don’t know of anyone who’s had it done. Anyone?? I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to go the Fraxel route again, just because there was a lot of downtime for me afterward and I can’t miss any work at the moment.Thoughts?
Looks AMAZING, Angie! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm planning on this procedure, soon. I can see a big difference in the tightness and pigmentation on you. You're beautiful, but I'm certain this has given you a"boost".
when i had my fraxel my plastic surgeon had me under for it. I looked nasty for a week,but OMG so worth it ! Discoloration gone,pores shrunk and over all looked much healthier. Also to help with discomfort he had me keep 4x4 gauze pads soaked with a vinegar and distilled water mix in fridge, and I would put those on several times a day to sooth and heal.
Whoa! I don't know what all that lasor was supposed to do but it really lifted & firmed your skin. I can't wait to see your next vid on this. I'm 33 and of course, I'm noticing a lot of changes in my skin. I love learning about skin care & prevention. Your channel has been great for that. You must be doing something right because you keep growing younger by the year! XOXO
Great! Thanks for showing the procedure. My Derm is having a Fraxel special as a kick off to the beginning of the year. I have been thinking it for a long time. I think I am going to take advantage of the special!
Thanks so much for showing this Angie and for explaining each day how it felt. The dryness and redness is very similar to the Blue Light procedure I had for my pre-cancerous spots a few months back. There isn't the same amount of peeling as with Fraxel though. That's what I needed to see. My Plastic Surgeon said this is what I'd need for my acne scaring but I've always put it off due to price and down time. You look great! xo
I'm here in 2023 February Angie thank you this is something I've been wanting to get done You are beautiful Thank you for showing us every detail you could came out great!!! 💜🙏
I am considering having this procedure done due to the unsightly 'smoker's mouth' and I DON'T SMOKE! Your video was incredibly helpful for me to see the post procedure healing that takes place and to hopefully plan for it. I'm a teacher, and this will be a huge splurge for me to help with this issue. Thank you!
So with the dual laser does that mean they used both settings to where they hit the pigments and then they use the other for wrinkling and collagen ?? What setting did they use on you? I had both lasers done. Very disappointed in it. Bc the lady went lighter side bc she said she couldn’t do many passes bc I was using both lasers. So who knows
You look great! I had Ultherapy last week. I looked into the fraxel treatment, but decided on the Ultherapy because my main goal was more about tightening and not so much helping with discoloration. I'm curious about why you chose the fraxel treatment.
Nice video, giving a good head up on what to expect, day by day. I had a Fraxel treatment done this morning. The numbing cream was applied for just 30 minutes. The forehead hurt a lot. Curiously, several hours later, the face is not that red. It just feels a bit swollen. I’m slathering on Aquafor.
I'm so pleased you did this. Most people don't show the "after effects" so i'm so grateful for this :) You look amazing and i cannot wait to see how your skin keeps responding xx

You look amazing! Also...thank you SOO much for ALWAYS posting what makeup you're wearing. It seems every time I think it looks the best you are wearing a lot of IT Cosmetics products (which I too own and love!). I particularly love that blush on you!
So exciting, can't wait for the next video! I had Fraxel done too on my 43 year old skin to clear away some sun damage & to clear up my complexion, & I feel like my pores got slightly larger... My dermatologist said that's impossible, however I've seen some other reviewers mention it too. Let us know how that goes for you, you're looking great already though! My healing & peeling happened much slower, probably because of my hypothyroid/Hashimoto situation. Love your channel! 👍🏻😃
I have read the negative comments and laugh. first of all you look gorgeous. I am now on my third fraxel to remove acne scarring. it is painful but sorry for those who have had bad experiences. THIS WORKS. I have been suffering for years. even my boyfriend smiles. I always await my next appointment. I'm sure after the fifth fraxel my skin will look awesome for our wedding. I'm an interracial woman and it's said to be bad for us. WRONG. I am so glad to go through this. thx for posting
Beautiful result, Angie. You look amazing. I had something similar done about five years ago. I swear, during the sloughing off period, I thought I had RUINED myself!! I actually had no choice on one of those bad days, I had to leave the house. I practically wrapped my entire head and neck in a scarf...as if that really hid anything, lol.
Angie, I love that you share all this with us especially for being so detailed. Thank you! Can't wait for your in-depth experience.
Wow what a difference! 90% of ur sun spots disappeared and the wrinkles around your eyes are totally gone. Gorgeous results! Im definitely going to get this done. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! Love you for doing this. I'm just 50 and have already made my appt with my dermo to investigate... I started using retin a about 5 months ago, and your videos were so helpful! Thank you for everything you are doing.
The results are fantastic! You are absolutely glowing afterwards!
Can't thank you enough for sharing your experience with us. I'm learning so much. I've only watched for a few months, but you seem to be growing younger! Can't wait for the in depth explanation.
I absolutely love the Fraxel. It toally doesn't hurt and makes a world of difference. You go girl! The surface of your face is so smooth. Perfect texture. Excellent job! So proud of you for trying it out. Big HUGS! xoxo Sharon
Thanks for the update Angie! Was wondering how it went, and how your healing was going. No questions, as you asked, and eagerly await your next video for more info on the procedure!
You are the most trustworthy beauty blogger. Can you explain the difference between the fraxel 1540 and fraxel 1550 laser? You had beautiful results!
Angie, your skin looks absolutely radiant in the commentary part of the video. I would say the treatment was very successful! xo
Wow...once again so appreciate you walking us through this procedure, your honesty and transparency and good nature. Thank you.
You look fantastic!! I have been putting off my appointment because I don't know what to expect. I need a visual. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait for you next video. Please don't make us wait to long!
With any laser treatment I've had (Gemini laser, Fraxel) and chemical peels (30% TCA-high powered 10 day recovery) I always try to eat pineapple the day before as well as use arnica tablets before/after to help with swelling and bruising. Post op I like Aquaphor as well as pure aloe to help with the redness, itching, and burning. Always ask your plastic surgeon what is best for your skin type and if it's okay to use. I have Ehler Danlos (a connective tissue disorder) so my swelling and redness is usually at least 3x what most people experience. Also, I can't express how important it is to do a test area because everyone's reaction is different. These tips really help keep the inflammation down (especially since I can't use steroids or NSAIDs) Your results look amazing :)
That's so brave to Show yourself after this procedure. So helpfull for us. Thank you Angie so much!
Wow Angie!! This is so impressive. Can't wait to see the full details in your next video. Your skin looks absolutely fabulous. XX
OMG, Your skin looks great with that treatment. with your makeup on your skin looks fabulous. I can see how your pores appear less visible and skin much smoother.
You look about 10 years younger! I'm not one to compliment without cause but WOW.! I can't wait for all the info. $$$$ and prep work for the procedure. I'm seriously impresses.
Lindy Devin I think you should get your eyes checked? It Was a waste of money for a very minor improvement !
no she does not lol she looks the exact same!
Wow.... What a difference!!!! Your makeup even looked 10 times better! Beautiful
Kudos to you for having any kind of procedure. Since going through menopause, my skin is just too sensitive. Even drugstore creams will cause alot of irritation. You do look great. Definitely a success for you.
You were lucky. I was considering getting Fraxel:restore until I read all the horror stories about orange peel skin texture some people get afterwards. I'm not taking any chances.
Hi Angie! I just have to tell you this! I have made an appointment in Istanbul (because I live in Germany) for Fraxel laser, and I showed my husband this video. He said “ wow she’s beautiful and said you look amazing for 55”, I told him you’re my skin Guru. Thought you might to hear that. X
I’m so glad I discovered your video of your entire experience, you’ve provided so much insight and information! I’m 66 now, and highly considering this same type of treatment to tone and tighten up my aging skin.
And, you look radiant and beautiful!
I’m super interested to know what moisturizer you used or still use to keep your skin as hydrated as possible then and what you’re using now. I research high and low for non toxic and healthy skin and hair care products.
I hope you still visit this video blog!
You look fabulous Angie! Enjoyed seeing the progression of your healing process.
Wow, very nice of you to share the details. Your skin looks exceptionally smooth after the treatment.I'm such a chicken when it comes to that stuff but knowing what to expect after seeing your process helps!! Thank you! 💖 Your skin looks beautiful.
Very nice! I recently had this done in the midwest, but they seemed very fearful of eyes. If it is okay to ask, where was your procedure?
Thank you for sharing your fraxel experience. I, too, have been there, done that. Going for a 3rd treatment in the near future. A good serum really helped in the post-treatment stage as my skin didn't feel so dry and rough. Nice to view a blogger in her 50's to learn from and commiserate with. Enjoy your channel very much.
You look amazing !! Thank you for sharing this. You are really brave to not freak out the week during recovery. I would be crying n freaking out if I had to go through that
Can't wait for the review video, hopefully you will compare and contrast the results etc. with the ipl?
Great video, Angie. Terrific results. This is so different from my experience several years ago. Numbing cream was very WHITE cream that I had to put on at home---then drive to derm office. No pain, very few passes with laser. No sloughing. Possibly a different type of Fraxel?
You are so pretty with or without makeup! Looks like you had a great outcome from the fraxel treatments, well worth it.
Hey, nice review ... and thanks for sharing your comment. Great to hear the experience form the patient. Cheers Dr Davin Lim, Dermatologist
FOR A DERMATOLOGIST U HAVE HORRIBLE SKIN YOURSELF!!!
@@petercommon4459 Where did you see that and why be so uncivil?
Chris, pay no attention to Peter, his just a simple minded troll. David Lim has awesome skin. He's also, a great guy.. He knows Peter is just a troll!!
@@petercommon4459 is here solely to trigger people. just so you know.
PETER COMMON ew.
Thanks for sharing this Angie! You look like you had wonderful results. This is so great to go through the experience with you:) I'm going to be looking into this! Thank you!
Hi sorry I don't know what your name is but I just started watching your channel about a week now and you look so much younger and beautiful compared to your previous videos. Thanks for sharing your experience with the laser treatment and the use of Retin-A cream. I'm in the process of going through my skin treatment on my face as well as my body treatment like my arms and upper back. Your videos did help me a lot in making my decisions about my treatment plans and what products I should use. Your skin looks amazing!!! Thanks again!
my goodness, you look amazing! Not that you don't normally, but this definitely has made a difference in your skin. I'm not even familiar with this procedure, so I'll have to do some researching, but you look incredible. Thanks for taking the time to vlog and do updates, and before and after type pics.
Thank you so much for sharing the post procedure days. That really helps us to decide if we want to try this also. Looking forward to your next video on what you think it's done for you. In the pics here, I could see a difference and I am sure it got even better. You are just so wonderful for all your sharing on everything you have done. Xoxo
at the end if this video it is very noticeable that your skin is glowing and rejuvenated. can't wait for the follow up video of information. I may have this done myself.
Thankyou for this. I'm having this done in December when weather is colder. From England 🇬🇧
This is such an awesome video. Very well documented. I just got mine done and I was curious of how i will look in the next few days. Thanks so much for sharing.
Ahu I just question. I’ve now watched all your fraxel videos and looking to book myself in. Can you share the reference for the study you mentioned about using Vit C after the procedure to aid in healing please?
Amazing results! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait for more info and details. This is the first I've ever heard of this procedure. Very interested!
I ha e done this like 6 years ago and it did not take 5 days. I believe the strength of what you received makes a difference. I also did not ice so long. I used the AC to cool it while driving. It just looked as if I had really bad sun burn. It peels like the next day. I never felt any pain. But my skin color is dark. Don’t know if that makes a difference.
Your skin looks amazing Angie.
In your video that you talk more in depth about this procedure, could you tell us how long it takes to see maximum results and also the difference between the CO2 fraxel and what you did.
Thanks Angie for always sharing❣️
The difference is very remarkable. I want it done ASAP. Love your videos - so informative and well done.
omg! just beautiful! your skin is just radiating this glowy brightness. I swear u look 20 years younger! thanks for the info... this is something I'm gonna look into
The burning and peeling did freak me out a bit just because u can't see the end result. I'm glad u shared this so we can come the awesome end results. I'm curious if this procedure can have any bad results for the skin later on and what the cost is.
You look fantastic!! Really looking forward to your next video about this Angie! I had one Fraxel treatment done about 10 years ago to improve acne scarring. My dermatologist recommended 4 treatments but I was only able to have one before I got pregnant with my first child. I would love to do it again now that I am also fighting sun damage and aging skin. Curious if you will need to do more treatments, or if the multiple passes eliminates the need for that.
Thanks for sharing and your ability to explain chemistry and execution of the procedures is nothing short of amazing
Question. I had Fraxel treatments when they first came out in 2008. And as they have done for you, the effects have lasted a good while! You look great! But, now that I’m almost 50, I’m starting to see more fine lines. I would like to go in and get something done. Have you heard of Ematrix? I’m getting it done next week, but I’m afraid I’m going be wasting my money and it might not do anything for me. I don’t know of anyone who’s had it done. Anyone?? I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to go the Fraxel route again, just because there was a lot of downtime for me afterward and I can’t miss any work at the moment.Thoughts?
Looks AMAZING, Angie! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm planning on this procedure, soon. I can see a big difference in the tightness and pigmentation on you. You're beautiful, but I'm certain this has given you a"boost".
when i had my fraxel my plastic surgeon had me under for it. I looked nasty for a week,but OMG so worth it ! Discoloration gone,pores shrunk and over all looked much healthier.
Also to help with discomfort he had me keep 4x4 gauze pads soaked with a vinegar and distilled water mix in fridge, and I would put those on several times a day to sooth and heal.
wow... best video ever! So happy you could share your experience with us. I am starting to look into this procedure so this was very helpful. Thanks!
Whoa! I don't know what all that lasor was supposed to do but it really lifted & firmed your skin. I can't wait to see your next vid on this. I'm 33 and of course, I'm noticing a lot of changes in my skin. I love learning about skin care & prevention. Your channel has been great for that. You must be doing something right because you keep growing younger by the year! XOXO
What moisturizer did you use? So glad you were willing to share with us.
So you got the photofacial then you did this? Should we do both? Which one of these do you think is better? Hope I’m making sense....
Your skin looks amazing post-treatment, Angie! Can't wait to hear all the details and your reasons for this particular procedure.
Hi Angie, So would you overall recommend this procedure? Is it worth it?
Angie, you're the best on RUclips. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Great! Thanks for showing the procedure. My Derm is having a Fraxel special as a kick off to the beginning of the year. I have been thinking it for a long time. I think I am going to take advantage of the special!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Wow, Your skin looks amazing, you can really see the difference with your makeup on, your face looks great.
Thanks so much for showing this Angie and for explaining each day how it felt. The dryness and redness is very similar to the Blue Light procedure I had for my pre-cancerous spots a few months back. There isn't the same amount of peeling as with Fraxel though. That's what I needed to see. My Plastic Surgeon said this is what I'd need for my acne scaring but I've always put it off due to price and down time. You look great! xo
Wow! You look 10 years younger after the treatment. Thanks for being so detailed in your coverage. I will consider that treatment for myself.
Wow ... Quite the transformation ... You look great! Thanks for sharing your experience.
You look fantastic! I wonder if this procedure is the same or kind of similar to the CO2 Laser resurfing. Do you know anything about it?
I'm here in 2023 February Angie thank you this is something I've been wanting to get done You are beautiful Thank you for showing us every detail you could came out great!!! 💜🙏
Your face feel lifted and healthy and glowing. Can't wait to see a more in depth video.
I am considering having this procedure done due to the unsightly 'smoker's mouth' and I DON'T SMOKE! Your video was incredibly helpful for me to see the post procedure healing that takes place and to hopefully plan for it. I'm a teacher, and this will be a huge splurge for me to help with this issue. Thank you!
So with the dual laser does that mean they used both settings to where they hit the pigments and then they use the other for wrinkling and collagen ?? What setting did they use on you? I had both lasers done. Very disappointed in it. Bc the lady went lighter side bc she said she couldn’t do many passes bc I was using both lasers. So who knows
Thank you for your videos! I am trying to decide between Fraxel and IPL. Your videos are SO helpful! Thanks for taking the time.
Definitely have to plan for that downtime. Will be interested in hearing how you felt about that. You look so fresh in this video!
You look great! I had Ultherapy last week. I looked into the fraxel treatment, but decided on the Ultherapy because my main goal was more about tightening and not so much helping with discoloration. I'm curious about why you chose the fraxel treatment.
WOW! Stunning!! As always, Love you and your videos! You're really blessing a lot of people with your channel! xoxoxo
You look fabulous!!! Can't wait for the next video :) Wondering if you had to stop using the retin-a beforehand.
Nice video, giving a good head up on what to expect, day by day. I had a Fraxel treatment done this morning. The numbing cream was applied for just 30 minutes. The forehead hurt a lot. Curiously, several hours later, the face is not that red. It just feels a bit swollen. I’m slathering on Aquafor.
hi there, so nice to see the process start to finish - even though you weren't able to video the procedure. Where and who did your fraxel dual laser ?
I am 53 and have not taken very good care of my skin and it is now showing dramatically in a negative way
