I had profrax three years ago, wonderful results- Went back again to work on a few dark spots the doctor turned up the volume so to speak and my face is a mess one month later, wrinkly eyes, dark circles, dark spots on my face and orange peel skin. Not sure why she turned up the volume when it worked so beautifully the first time. I am a mess and scared I will look like this forever!
