Fraxel Laser and Long Term Damage?

August 10, 2009
Asked By:Fraxel Girl in Vancouver, Canada

I am considering having the Fraxel laser 6 months after I'm done with my Accutane treatment, but I'm beginning to get scared by various internet posts claiming that in the long term, your skin will look worse. Have there been studies that verify its long term damage? Are lasers really not all they're cracked up to be? I'm very concerned about aging but I'd hate to sabotage myself. There are so many different claims out there I'm getting lost in it.
