I had the Sandstone Fractional c02 laser on May 25, 2011 to address melasma. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon in Mass. The procedure itself was pretty painful, but I figured "no pain, no gain". For about 5 days after I had the usual bleeding, crusting, and peeling that... Read more

Though my provider has said I need to wait atleast 60 days to see results I am quite certain they will not be good. The texture of my skin is... Read more

I paid a price for living in the Caribbean as a sun worshipper: skin damage. It turns out that those who advised us to stay out of the sun were actually serious about it. The years of sun have taken a toll on my skin. As I age it gets worse, and at the same time thinning skin and receding... Read more

I met with the Doctor and he told me that he could really improve the scars and then he talked me into having my whole face done. Then he told me that... Read more

I am a 59 year old women and wanted to get rid of lip lines, marionete lines and some old age spots. Went in yesterday and had it done. Did it hurt? Yes sir it sure did---felt like red hot needles--but the pain (as long as you could squeeze your hands together) was bearable. Today is my... Read more

Hi! I would like to post about my experience with a fractional laser for acne scar treatment. I have had this procedure done three times, with the first time being in Dec. 2009.

There are no pros except that Dr. Loury was nice.The cons on the other hand are several. This laser procedure did not work at all and i have never experienced so much pain in my life. It left like I was being tesed every time the laser was used on my skin. By entire body tensed up so much that I... Read more

It was so quick and easy. Down time a little longer than I thought but my skin looks beautiful and I would recommend it highly. There was no pain involved, I didn't take any pain medicine after the procedure was done. Had two facials that helped with the sloughing of the skin.  Read more
