I purchased a Groupon for a Fraxel treatment with the hopes that it might improve my melasma.  I have had hyperpigmentation on my face since my mid-20's due to a severe sunburn.  It has only gotten worse over the past 15 years due to sun exposure and age.  I was a little nervous about having laser done on my face, but that soon disappeared.  I was given a numbing cream to apply 2 hours ahead...
