I have horrible acne scars and now my skin is sagging and I have more deep lines and wrinkles. I have big 'Ol bags under my eyes. It's pretty depressing. My doctor said that I would see great improvement if I did the Fraxel Repair. I did it and spend a boat load of money-- for really no results. The doctor wants me to spend more money -- and now I'm dubious and feel like I was mislead.

Fraxel smoothes lines and improves texture but you need to seek appropriate advice and if necessary from diffent medical professionals as the best way to correct a perceived problem may be laser or it may be surgical. You need to find a medical professional who will answer all questions and give truthful and realistic advice and also provide a price guide estimate to achieve your desired requiements.

I wrote a pretty damning review earlier. And I was wrong. I saw photos of before and I do have better texture less creep and less joles What I didn't understand that the fraxel treatment was only part of the plan my doctor had for me. I saw her today and explained the next steps. Needles to say I'm very happy with my progression.

Im glad to hear you are happy. Skin rejuvenation usually takes more than one step. Speaking for myself, it is a daily process.
