I had 4 treatments of Fraxel restore, and 2 IPL's were included in the price. I chose this Dr. because the price was good compared to others, close to my house, and I had had IPL with her before. She recommended I have thermage, which was cheaper, but after reading reviews here I was scared... Read more

Package of 4 Fraxel Treatments - Toronto, Canada
fraxel95 spent $2,500 in Toronto, Canada Updated 2 months ago
To reduce/remove acne scarring, pros: smoothed out bumpy patches of scars, cons: downtime/peeling skin. I had my 1st of 4 sessions for acne scarring. The main difference after the 1st was the "flattening" impact, the scars I used to have had a crater / hole texture and was... Read more

Fraxel Dual - New York, NY
nyccosmeticsurgerygirl spent $1,800 in new york, ny Updated 2 months ago
I had this procedure before in the past, but it had been over a year and decided it was time to freshen up. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Geronemus is the best at lasering, hands down so I decided to take the plunge... again. I must preface all of this with I am the biggest wimp when it comes to...

I wrote a review for another website after my first treatment a month ago. Here it is: This is my first Fraxel treatment and today is my fourth day. So far, so good. The procedure was definitely not painless, so make sure you apply the numbing cream ALL over your face all the way to... Read more

The scar I set out to finally "address" is eleven years old. It is a result of an auto collision with a drunk driver I have never had the privilege of meeting till date. That was in May 2000. I literarily lost a chunk of flesh in the entire upper arm, the bones and the ball and socket... Read more
