The $650 cost was for 1 procedure using the small applicator on my abdomen only. My initial consultation was with a doctor, but the actual procedure was performed by the staff at the Skinspa. They are very knowledgeable and the Technician who worked with me had actually had the procedure done herself -- which I found helpful because she could answer specific questions and knew exactly what to tell me to expect.
I'm 5 weeks post-Coolsculpting now and am extremely pleased with my results so far. I've lost 2.5 inches in my abdomen already! The numbness lasted about 2 weeks with some residual "tingling" lasting almost 3 weeks, but it really was altogether a painless experience for me.
I plan on waiting to post my results pictures until the recommended 4 months have elapsed, but with the what I've already lost, I can said with certainty that I am 100% satisfied!
I was very happy with the overall results of the Fraxel procedure . The texture and smoothness of my skin are great. I think it took several years off my overall appearance.
But if you're considering Fraxel to help remove pigmentation (like my brown spot), then I might rethink that. Even though the IPL didn't remove my spot, it did lighten it considerably more than Fraxel. The Fraxel was great to soften lines and wrinkles.
I will probably continue with IPL periodically to help keep my spot as light as possible, but would definitely consider Fraxel again in a couple of years to keep a smooth texture.
