First I NEVER write reviews. My goal was to get a smoother complexion and wear less makeup, the end result...I'm using more makeup to cover my face then ever before. I have dry splotches on my face from the laser treatment that will not go away. Your skin is suppose to get better over time. My skin is worse then when I walked in his office. He has not offered to fix or try to repair my skin. Refuses to see the damage. I am 61 years old, trusted him to do the procedure and now wish I had never heard of Mendelsohn or Fraxel Laser treatments. I try to hide my face behind makeup! I did my research, or thought I had. I'm very disappointed and out of a lot of money.

Great review?

The procedure was done approx. 1 1/2 years ago.

No, my face looks worse than before the procedure and I had it done twice thinking it would help. It didn't get rid of scars or even fine lines (wrinkles). My face has more red blotches which is what I am now trying to cover up. This procedure was done approx. 2 years ago and I'm still struggling to get my face back in control.

Thank you for sharing your review.  I am sorry this has not turned out the way you had hoped.  How long ago did you have this procedure done?
