The skin is uneven near my mouth, and I have small laugh lines. My dermatologist suggested a Fraxel Repair treatment at a setting of 40 around my mouth and chin, with a lighter setting on my cheeks and eyes. My eyes aren't too bad but starting to get bags and a little bit of crows feet. I want my chin to smooth out most of all. For all the doctors and experienced patients. What say you?
