$2,500
I paid $2,500 for the Fraxel treatments that I received last year. I came in to see Mari, a Physician Assistant who works part time there to remove minor to moderate acne scars. The treatments were spaced out between 3-4 weeks apart. By the 3rd treatment I was not seeing ANY results and I had communicated that to Mari. I asked her about the machine and she told me it was 3 years old, which is probably about 4 years old now. She told me that the following Wednesday the office was having a staff meeting and she would speak to Dr. Salomon to see if he was willing to do something for me so I wouldn't have to go into my own pocket again. I didn't hear from her the next week, or the week after that, so I reached out to her and she told me to come in January, which I did. She told me that Dr. Salomon didn't want to offer anything else unless I pay. Mari recommended that but a C02 laser would do the trick. It was much more painful and I am still recovering from burn scars 2 months later.
Expectations were poorly managed throughout. The C02 Laser was more damaging than the Fraxel treatment. It was explained to me the recovery would be about a week. My face is still damaged and burned and it's been over 2 months. This is my face we are talking about, not a body part that you can hide, it's MY FACE. I expressed my dissatisfaction with Mari via text and she told me the C02 was more aggressive AFTER the fact told me to put more cream on it. That has not worked. I now have 2 problems instead of one and have to pay to fix this. This has caused me so much embarrassment, pain, and suffering. Furthermore, I was unable to meet with clients and perform my job due to the damage to my face, which resulted in lost wages. I walked out of Dr. Salomon's office much worse off than I came in. I now have to live with these burn scars under my eyes and in process of filing suit. He will not get away mutilating people at will.

Do you have recent photographs? Unfortunately, I fell for the same Co2 scam. My face has never been the same ever since :( It's almost been 2 years and I still have acne flair ups, discoloration, fat loss, and texture irregularities. Oh and I also have laser piece head etched into my skin. I'm not sure why a Dr. would risk using such a powerful device on a young person with mild scaring. The Co2 is laser is not met to be used on olive skin tones with dark hair. I hope you get your problems resolved. I'm sorry to know you are going through this as well. Best wishes

Do you mind me asking which treatment you got? I was booked to have Mixto laser but baby got sick so I had to cancel. But I'm nervous after seeing this!

Sad story..Very dangerous to do any work when a doctor doesn't have time for their patients. Hired hands come and go while we're stuck living with their mistakes. I heard Fraxel laser is a fraud and has little to no results. Many lawsuit found online from people who went with fraxel as a treatment. I have acne scarring and still searching for a miracle. Good luck!

They are. Dr Salomon office do not care about patients
