Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Amanda Abramson Lloyd

Sourced directly from Dr. Amanda Abramson Lloyd's social posts and replies.

What is the typical recovery and results timeline after Fraxel treatment?
After Fraxel treatment, redness may persist on Day 2, indicating an early repair phase as the skin begins its renewal process beneath the surface. By Day 3, many patients notice reduced redness, and skin renewal truly becomes visible. Day 4 often brings continued flaking and improved texture. By Day 5, most surface recovery is complete, and the skin appears brighter and more even, with early results beginning to show. On Day 6, skin tone and texture continue to refine, and long-term improvements are well underway. Over the course of a week, skin transforms, unveiling a smoother, more luminous, and radiant complexion.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$495

Payments

20

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Amanda Abramson Lloyd received $495 across 20 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Lilly USA, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
