After reading this blog and evaluating my concerns (texture, few fine lines, and rosacea), I have decided to have a medium (35mm to40mm) MicroLaser Peel rather then any of the Fraxel treatments. Has anyone had any experience with the Sciton Micro Laser Peel?
I realize that I might also need addtional treatments for some of the texture issues due to acne scarring on my chin. However, it appears that the down time (4 to 5 days) and the cost are about the same as some of the Fraxel treatments... maybe a bit cheaper and I might get better results. Over the years, I have had several IPL/BBL treatments, so my skin looks pretty good for my age (40), although I've always hated my skin texture. Will the MicroLaser Peel be helpful for improving skin texture?
