face tightness

what exactly are you having done to your face?

I'm curious about the other machines by cynosure, there's the Affirm laser that is supposed to be similar to fraxel but better. My doc's office offers the full range, but I wouldn't trust my face to him. After trying the triactive treatments I am skeptical.

This is called smartxide and it's by Deka, which is made in Italy. I believe that the Cynosure is a result of the Deka (?????) Anyway not sure what it is going to do but hey what the heck!!! Will keep you informed after I finally get it done. rcraig

my mother (who is 70) has had 2 fraxel treatments and they are intense. She has to come hide out at my house for a few days after due to swelling. So far her skin looks refreshed, but its done nothing for her wrinkles and redness, they said that she may need 5 total but I don't know if she'll return for more pain and suffering.

Have you seen anyone at the clinic that was treated? I'd love to see some pics.
