Indian Skin Type: Number of Fraxel Sessions and Intensity?
Im 37, Indian (skin type 5)I got 2 diff opinions for Fraxel Restore re # of sessions (4 vs 5) & laser intensity (50-80 mj vs 70-90 mj). Does the higher intensity come with increased risk of PIH or permanent damage? Whats the best gap between 2 sessions? Are the benefits reversible after 2-3 years?
