Review of Fraxel Laser:

Hi, I'm sixteen and I got lots of scar! I got all of this scar when I was using Estee Lauder products. The products was make little white head pimple on my skin. Seriously, I never squeeze and scratch with it because someone told me that it will make a scar. All of pimple gone but still leave lots of scar on my cheek! I'm never have acne scar like this before and I felt very nervous when i go outside:(

I wait it for 6 months already but nothing happend so I decide to do Fraxel Laser.

Depending on which setting the technician has the laser on, Fraxel can be very painful... for scars they have to turn the energy up a lot... so it probably will hurt.... but it may be worth it in the end. I'm not sure if it will benefit your type of skin... you should ask the doctors. click on the "ask the doctors" button and post a question.

Would appreciate some help here; do you leave a gratuity for a laser tx that costs $1000 and is performed by a licensed person in an aesthetic office affiliated with a dermatology center? Other treatments are performed there e.g., facials, peels, etc., by non-licensed persons and a gratuity is certainly appropriate. I want to do the right thing; would appreciate feedback.
