Fraxl Laser, Is There an Area on the Nose that Cannot Be Treated?
Hi Forever,

Be careful where you are seeking treatment
No, that is not true and that tells me that the person that is doing your treatment probably doesn't know what they are doing.

If you want the best results, you should go to the experts. Best, Dr. Groff
