Posted 20 Jun 2010

Am 50 year old woman who had fraxel to improve both the texture of my skin (old acne scars) and aging. The procedure was done by a doctor trained in it's application, who reassured me of its safety and the results. So painful, I cried throughout the procedure.

Weeping sores for the first 3 days. Facial palsy developed after about a week, and lasted 3 months. I looked like I had had a stroke. Eyesight was blurred for about a month. The sad thing was that there was no improvement at all, and I felt I had aged about 5 years because of the damage caused.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

This is a procedure, which in the wrong hands, can leave horrific results. I don't think my doctor had enough training for performing something that could have lasting results, especially on an area you can't really hide away if something goes wrong.

Please, everyone- don't just take your doc's word for things. Do your research.
