Is there a trick to it I'm missing?

Not worth it....

I even noticed in the last year that I have a scar on my neck that I didn't have before the laser. I'm also getting dark spots even worse now...maybe because I'm older (57) now? I don't know. I'm sticking with Juvaderm from now on.

My intention is not to make anyone who has received laser treatment feel badly, but I wouldn't go near them, even if someone offered it for free, I have honestly not seen anyone improve what they were trying to fix; I've only seen damage. I want to do something to improve my face, but lasers are out of the question; I'm going midface lift and maybe some fillers.

Humbug....the fractional co2 laser was a waste of money (for me)..

I still have the lines around my lips as badly as I did before. I've made a point of staying out of the sun and protecting my skin and I have dark spots that seem to be "reappearing." I mean the same ones. I really didn't go in wanting my chest done, but it was part of his special and my chest looks worse than ever. For me, the Juvaderm gave the most amazing result. I'm now considering getting an Epione non-surgical facelift from Dr. Simon Ourian.

I'm sorry the fraxel didn't work for you. Perhaps you can change your rating to not worth it? so it will show the true rating of this procedure and will prevent people from wasting their money and possibly damaging their faces

Did you get the non-surgical facelift done from Dr Ourian? If yes, how did it turn out?

Did you have a SmartSkin procedure or a Fraxel procedure. Fraxel is a brand name like Kleenex. Smartskin and Fraxel are not the same thing.

Not only is it not worth it, it's the worst thing you can do to your skin. I too fell for the marketing skills of my ex-dermatologist! At 46 had 3 fraxel treatments 6 weeks apart. The damage started to appear less than a year later. My skin became hyperpigmentated and leathery looking! The fraxel laser is a total hoax and shame on all the dermatologist and plastic surgeons who perform procedures with this most damaging and dangerous laser. Why dangerous? Because it makes your skin blotchy , leathery and aged before it's time. Shame on you who market and use it knowing full well it will only destroy skin and people's self-esteem!!! Doctor Hector Leal in Monterrey Mexico performed the three fraxel laser treatments on me!!!! He's a well known dermatologist in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Beware of any treatment that this money-grubbing low-life performs!
