Hi I am 46 and lived most of my life outdoors with no sun block. I had thermage and radiesse last year and was fairly pleased. But now I have a little more laxity posterior to my naso-labial lines, crows's feet, and some sun spotting on my jawline I'd love to lose.
My Dr suggest Fraxel Repair, either as a one time harded strength or 2 lighter ones. I have heard of the Hypopig problems with the old CO2 and am worried after reading the fraxel reports here. Anyone had the Fraxel Repair strength? Thanks

I am suffering Hypo-pigment from laser surgery (over 13 spots on my scalp)- I wish I could give you a cure but so far I have found none. Laser surgery may not be answer - be careful
