I had my first fraxel laser treatment on acne scars in the last of december 2013. And after almost two months I haven't seen any result. I don't have deep scars (dents) and doctor told me that the 2nd treatment wont be needed. I just wanna know that when will I see the results? How much time will it take to get my skin leveled.?I'm from Pakistan.
