No Results from Active FX
I'm 51, and I had Active FX in December 2008 on my face and neck. I was looking for results on neck and lower face mostly, but I had very little reaction, and essentially no results.

Or, does my lack of results indicate that laser is not for me. I have been using the Obagi system for years; does that matter?
