The Fraxel is not bad bad left my face being Red for a long time due to the heat .. I guess.
Recent I really love to do a procedure call skin pen.. is a type of micro needling using a mechanical pen.. I do it every 2-3 month and it’s got rid of a lot of my acne scar.. my skin a lot smoother too

hey Belle, You are being so helpful. I think you have right comment about the horrible stories of Fraxel. It does depend on what wavelength with certain skin type. Congrats for your improvement. I do think your acne scars look flatter now. I will need a detailed consultation in the clinic or hospital before making the decision of doing it. To be honest, I am so scared.

After one year has past I'm thinking about doing another fraxel, so I decided to put a few more pics if my face so you can come in a take a look if you think there are any improvement of my skin. I do think that my skin does look better, except for those brown spots that I'm dying to get rid of!!!!

I had Pearl Laser for melasma a few years ago and did some research prior to going but I guess I didn't do enough and it came back worse. My skin looked great for about 4 weeks afterwards but gradually all of the spots came back - and more too! I recently went to new dermatologist and he suggested Fraxel but I'm hesitant that it will get darker. In the last month a faint skin mustache appeared which for me is worse than any melasma on my cheeks. Asian skin is tricky. Thanks for the update.
