I'm asian and this is my third times laser both my cheeks the price is good but i only see very little improvement, my Doc said i cannot see good result after 6 session so still waiting patiently
you will see the pictures i attached from the day before the laser until the third session, after the third laser my face still swelling and red and you can't really see the difference though but i will add another pictures when my cheeks are not swelling anymore.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I actually can see a difference after your 2nd treatment, it seems like your scars are not as shallow and your skin looks more smooth. How long ago did you have your 3rd session? How far apart are you spacing your treatments? I look forward to your updates.
