Fraxel Not Normally Done by Doctor?

June 16, 2010
Asked By:Kanikki in santa clarita ca

I've looked into Fraxel in the LA area, I've been told repeatedly that it's done by a physician's assistant NOT a Dr.  I was wondering if this is normal or if I should hold out for a Dr. to perform the procedure.
