thank you beforehand. thanks everyone for reading my quick review!

I calculated some extensive research on laser skin resurfacing so please allow me stress that I looked into fraxel only because this particular laser had been recommended for helping uneven skin tone and discoloration. i wont talk about pre/post procedure practices. So, to start off by saying it was WELL WORTH !, i had concerns of uneven skin color near my nose that had been uneven skin tone from my face. usually being African American most doctors, professional don't recommend laser skin resurfacing only because having darker skin which becomes tricky trying to treat because the outcome/results will not heal and recover into the normal skin color as intended. when i did my initial interview i was told that it would be a 50/50 chance of the unfavoring healing results. i took a chance and went in for a procedure that i wanted regardless of the risk, ( what's risk without rewards). fraxel laser are done in multiple procedure just depends on your personal goals and patience, i purchased a package of 3, when i went in i was told that sometimes it takes up to 6 procedures and also a lot of healing/post procedures practices. the 1-2 appointments are done in two different time frames as well as in fraxel laser strength. the more pain you can adjust will also determine your results. after the first procedure i was really happy, not only does it help with blemish issues but it smoothes your skin, helps collagen reproduction, skin tightening, skin resurfacing. it took me about 1 week to recover, so if you plan on having it done, PLEASE consider time to recover as it well help you better results. as the procedure progress so does the strengths of the laser, so i would recommend that you have preprecedure medication and post procedure home remedies( it will help!). i noticed results after the first procedure had been done so for me i went back for the second and third time. i did not go back for a second package of 3 only because it requires down time, also if you plan getting it done, this procedure is one that i DO NOT RECOMMEND getting in the summer because of the heat and sun could be a backdraw from your results. thanks again everyone for reading.

i like to thank Dr. Erika sato & her staff!
