Your facial characteristics resemble mine a lot and I have also considered getting Fraxel laser treatment, but it is quite expensive in my area. I did numerous research about this treatment and the horror stories really scared me. I don't want to risk having permanent burns on my face.

I have already approached a couple of treatments such as microdermabraison and 30% glycolic/salicylic acid peelings. The peelings were so strong and it made my skin even worse.

I absolutely loved the results from microdermabraison ! My treatments weren't as intense as yours, since my skin healed in two days. All I had was redness afterwards !

But it takes more treatments to get the eventual results you are aiming for !!! You can look into basic microdermabraison treatments so you can still experience the results you like. =)
