Does Fraxel Re:pair Give You Chapped Lips?

December 6, 2010
Asked By:rber43 in mobile

I had a fraxel re:pair in october and ever since then i have had very chapped lips, i was wondering if it was the fraxel that contributed to this, I had similar experience when i was using accutane a few year back and was wondering if the fraxel is working similar to the way the accutane worked for me, which i must say was spectacular!!!!
