Do the research before you commit to any laser procedures. I wouldn't recommend this resurfx laser treatment. It caused blister and laser track marks on my skin. I was given cortisone which didn't help as much as the aloe Vera did.
I found out that it only was to take one pass of the laser which the tech did several. I have tiny holes and my skin feels like leather. I hope in time it gets better. Also I don't think anyone should do the chest or neck area same time as face as it seemed to have the most damage.

I am so sorry you had a bad experience, but I hope your skin has improved. My dermatologist has been looking into the new lasers for a few years, and really liked ResurFX. I trust this doctor and the esthetician, so I gave it a try. I was also alarmed at first, but started seeing a change after about six weeks. The "grid" took a long time to fade, but my neck and chest are looking good! I was warned ahead of the procedure that it takes about three months to begin seeing full results develop. I am going for the next treatment in a couple of weeks. This Dallas practice cleared my teenager's acne with acid peels and retin-a, so I started going for procedures and have been going for thirteen years with excellent results.

Well, I don’t think your review is fair. You should be grading the provider not the laser as not working.

Did your skin get better or do you still wish you hadn't done the Resurfx?

Resurfx nightmare saga day 3

Day 3
Still left with major holes on neck and chest. I have resorted to vit e, aloe and cortisone. I am very disappointed and discouraged. I went to take some pics of the areas that are worse. In the lighting you can see the actual track marks and it looks like my skin is raised. Reminds me of a waffle iron burns! This is a terrible outcome and a terrible dermatology clinic! You never see the Dr only the techs or occasionly the asst. they ruined my life!!

I see this is a few years old. I just went there today for a consultation!! This procedure was also recommended to me. Do you remember who your tech was? Now I am scared to have anything done. Can you recommend a good dermatologist in Tucson?

I'm sorry you are experiencing this, I hope it gets better soon and is just part of the healing process.
I noticed you asked about your healing in the Doctor Q&A, I'm linking it here so anyone who wants to see it can. 

Please keep us posted on what happens over the next few weeks, we are here for you!
