Fractora Did Not Deliver Results Promised - Vernon Hills, IL

I have some crows feet and acne scarring and was told the Fractora laser treatment would make a tremendous difference in the improvement of my skin texture and reduction of the crows feet. I had three treatments (My last treatment was in March) with applications of stem cell secretions which were suppose to also make a huge difference. Four syringes of the stem cell secretions for each laser treatment were $400.00 totaling $1200. So ultimately the whole deal rang up to over $3500. The results? Well if I have to take a microscope to see a difference then it is not worth it to say the least. As a matter of fact, the post treatment photos showed reddening of the skin around my cheeks. There really wasn't a noticeable difference so I would say, look for an alternative treatment and if they make a promise then they better back it up with a guarantee of some sort. And you should take before and after pictures because there are plenty of doctors out there that will modify images for their case.

Would I recommend it? No way! It's tragic that we are guinea pigs for companies with the latest gadgets with no guarantees. So far, the CO2 lasers seem to make a difference on crows feet and I have yet to find a great treatment for my mild ice pick scars. I'm scheduled to receive some other laser treatment but may ask for the CO2 treatment. I like my doctor and he is brilliant with filler injections and I've seen the before and after patient results of his blepharoplasties which are amazing and as perfect as one can imagine. He is a terrific person and he genuinely wanted to help. He used the technology which seemed appropriate for the condition and he really was trying to give the best dosages of strength and coverage, but I hope he will stand by his work. There were negative results so he should be generous for the time and discomfort I've gone through. Perhaps he should also go back to the laser company to recoup his costs if he decides to refund part of the procedure. Half back is reasonable wouldn't you agree? We'll see how he proceeds.
