Tags: cheeks, acne scars, Asian
I am going to be getting an aggressive treatment of Fraxel Repair. The dermatologist said I will need 8 days to hide and recover. I have the type of acne scars that when you stretch the skin they disappear on my cheeks. What type of results do you typically see with this type of laser? Will my scars be unnoticeable, I wear a lot of makeup now and with the right lighting you can not see the scars, but extremely noticeable without makeup and unflattering lighting. Also, I am 50/50 asian/greek.
