This winter I tried fraxel. I really did not see any great change. I was looking to get rid of as many wrinkles as possible. I was told that it would take 3 times to look 10 years younger. my doctor sends out emails whenever the has specials, and yesterday there was a special on pearl so I booked an appointment and thought I'd try it out ( 450 cnd) for the face and neck.
I got into the chair and was given 2 Tylenol and my face was smeared with some kind of freezing agent, I was then wrapped in plastic wrap.... Lights were dimmed soft music was on and I waited for it to take affect. 1/2 hour later I washed the glop off of my face and the pearl laser was then used. Yes some areas were painful but it did not last. ( more painful than the fraxel.). The pearl lasted about 45 minutes. Most of the pearl was in like a kind of rectangular area. More delicate areas was just a little circle area. Once it was done then came the application of the polysporin with analgesic. Wow now that was painful. ( fine when I was standing in front of a fan?..)
