“Sciton/Portrait Not Worth It”

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,300 in Savoy, IL
I had the Sciton Fraxel with Portrait, at an introductory half off price. The only result I got was nearly 6 weeks of terrible acne, finally healing with antibiotics. I now have some uneven tone, which I didn't have before the procedure.It also seems my skin won't peel as easily, leaving it dull looking.
I had a full face CO2 lasr ten years ago with terrific results, and will back to the old standard CO2 in the future.

My rating:
Dr. Russo is a good surgeon, and offers the latest procedures.However, I strongly recommend conducting a thorough review of all independent studies before deciding on any procedure--all surgeons are in business, and I have had problems with the Sciton and and periorbital mid-face lift, both of which I should have researched, rather than just relying on the professionals.
