Hi Chardy--the mottled discoloration I had before is gone and my lines are much improved...texture too. I am very pleased and found this to be worthwhile. Please update me on ur experience. Remember that people that have bad experiences are much more vocal and motivated.....and the ones that have a good experience are much less likely to blog at all. Happy Holidays and keep us all in the loop!

Crookedteeth--Your excuse for not including your doctor's name helps noone. At least half the reviews, including good and bad, include the doctor's name. Do you not care if someone goes to your doctor and has the same bad experience u did? As for price, who cares what u payed...you had an incredibly painful treatment. I called around, went on multiple consults and found noone even close to your quoted price. Maybe you were one of the first he treated? How do you know? My doc numbed me with topical cream for 1 hour, then injected novacane into my cheeks, eyelids, and did nerve blocks. I didn;t feel this because of the cream had numbed my skin. About 30 minutes or so before the procedure, a nurse gave me a shot of demerol and vistaral in the butt. I also was given valium. I dont drink any alcohol and have never done any drugs so it really affected me. No, I didn;t have any pain, I dont care what u say, I know what my experience was and I don't know why you think you know better. Maybe you should read all the posts, because there are more positive than negative and others have had little to no pain as well. Cant I be happy about a positive experience without you raining on my parade?

Well, Crookedteeth...after reading your review, no wonder u are bent. You had a bad experience and ass-ume everyone else should. maybe you should have researched your doctor more thoroughly. You dont even mention who did ur procedure in ur review. I saw dozens of before and afters and have offered mine for use....and didn't ask or had been offered a discount. Judging by your price, maybe u were bargain shopping? Like they say, you get what u pay for.

Yes, email me. The doctor in La Jolla is listed at the top of my review. I forgot to mention that I had my face neck and chest done so that adds to the cost. Doing great and love the results! Thanks for asking.

Hi Chardy--I have a friend in San Diego that had a breast enlargement done at the same office and had a very good experience. I checked out the website and this was my 3rd consult for Fraxel repair. The doctor (cos. derm) had great bedside manner and had done the procedure on his own wife and also on the nurse that helped me in the office. I saw a bunch of before and after pix of his own patients. The prior consults I had been on had only pix from Fraxel company or had a nurse doing the procedure. Well worth the travel. The costs that I have seen in SoCal ranged from $4500-6500. Hope this helps and good luck!
