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.

Day two of maintenance fracs
Did not get a lot of bleeding right away but sure to form, when I woke this morning my face was covered. There is a fair bit of swelling but unlike last time I did not take antihistamine and am just letting my skin do its thing.
I did take two additional days off to coincide with the Easter holidays as I have found in the past that I couldn't really do this over the weekend and go back to the office on the Monday. I found that even when I could wash my face the gridding was there and very much noticeable under makeup. So in total I will spend 6 days at home, it is important for me not to downplay the downtime as that is more likely going to make you feel miserable than the actual procedure that and not being able to wash your hair for a few days.
All and all I feel ok and am preparing myself for the iching that will come later on today/tomorrow.

Another round of fracs
It's been a year since my last treatment and now I have a yearly "maintenance" one. Same deal as the last time, numb the skin then blast it with the laser.
Over the year I have noticed that my skin seems thicker and the tone is more even. I notice that I need to wear less makeup and I can go longer without Botox as my lines aren't as deep.
Like the last times, the nurse did 30% depth and when as close as she could to ensure coverage. It still stung alittle in certain areas like the hairline and in the crease of the nostrils.
Still the worst part is when it has been finished and I get the icy cold saline put in- it's sooo cold and almost unbearable.
It has been half an hour and I have begun to sprout blood spots.
Will keep you updated

5th fracs: Day three
Thank goodness for saline spray! Not itchy as opposed to heaps of blood spots. Looking forward to washing my face tomorrow and using light make up. Swelling has gone done and redness is what is expected. Lots of white spots but not as raised as last time. Heaps of darker spots where pigmentation is a problem, hoping this means this is coming up and out? Very, very dry skin so I jave kept up the use of the regime A creme.
