Fraxel Laser or Repair for Clogged Pores?

July 26, 2009
Asked By:mistsfca in CA

I'm debating whether to get Fraxel Laser or Fraxel Repair. If I have very clogged pores under my skin (some areas as big as an eraser full), what would these treatments do? Has anybody done these treatments on patients with a lot of white soft gunk under their skin? Would it make it worse?
