I'm 38, dark-skinned, trying to decide between Fraxel or Venus Viva for overall skin rejuvenation (sun damage, pigmentation, tone, enlarged pores, lines, some volume loss). Also wondered about adding Thermage into the mix, my sister had it done with great results, lasted about a year. If I wanted to do Thermage as well, when would be the best time to do it with either Fraxel or Venus Viva if both involve 3-5 treatments? Main concerns are sun damage & anti-aging. Cost is a concern. Thanks!
