Mattj,
I didn't have scabs when I shaved. It was more like just holes at that point. I am still healing now. It just goes very slow but I have had improvement for the 3rd week in a row. I feel like the below chin area, chin area and sideburn area show signs that they will probably heal up close to 100% eventually (hopefully). The area really high on the cheek in the middle of the face concerns me more. It appears that healing may be complete in that area (at 10 weeks) and there are still maybe 20 or so fues that havent completely closed. If they dont heal I am pretty optomistic that they can be fixed whether that be with fraxel laser, microdermabrasion, microneedling, or some combination.
Fraxel does not destroy hair. You program the depth of the lasers and you dont go down to the root. I have had extensive fraxel (maybe as many as 8 procedures)done on ht scars behind my hairline and have lost no hair. You can have hair "burned" off in an agressive frax procedure which I have done but it grows back. I still have a lot of inflamation on my face in the areas that appear to be still healing so I am going to wait until all that "natural" healing runs its course. At the end if i feel all the natural healing is done and I still have skin issues I will look at treatment options.
