Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I wish i had never had Fraxel! i paid $900...
I wish i had never had Fraxel! i paid $900. the doctor said that it would take care of the dark spots on my cheeks and it would make the pores on my cheeks look just like the pristine skin on the sides of my face. i thought what he means was that the pores on my cheeks would go away and look like pristine skin, but just the opposite happened!!
the dark spots are still there, but it looks like a section of flesh has been removed over the dark spots and healed indented like that. i think she overdid it. Now where the dark spots were is now an obvious indentation of flesh.
and worse yet, my pores are still there, but my prevoiusly beautiful, clear, pristine skin i used to have on the rest of my face looks like there are small pores all over the place! it is like my face is now riddled with tiny little holes all over!
This has been four months since my treatment, and I am so depressed over what i allowed this doctor to do to me. I just ask people to please not rush into this. make sure you see before and after close ups of patients. And beware. the doctor ususally likes to take the "after" pic about a week or two after the patient's fraxel treatment while the face is still slightly plump from residual swelling. once the swelling goes down, you are left with horrific results.

I swelled badly for the first 5 days, then by 7 days, my skin looked great! scars were faded, pores reduced, etc. Then by 21 days after the peeling was done, i looked the way I did before I even had Fraxel.
They say I need more fraxel treatments, but why can't I see a difference after the first one? Why shell out $4,000 - $5,000 when the results only last about a month or so after the peeling is done.
Not only are my scars back, but I still have the brown spots on my face.
I think I will stick to glycolic acid peels, skin bleachers and Olay Regenerist again. At least my results are longer lasting with these, and much less expensive!
