I got 2 co2 fractional laser treatment from Eben Ezer Plastic Surgey in Koreatown LA. Turns out that this place is a FRAUD! In result, I've experienced facial volume loss, micro scarring, and saggy skin. In an attempt to help with the facial loss, I got restayline 9 months ago along my nasolabiel fold.
