Gonna get a eMatrix, aka Sublative Rejuvenation soon

Need a whole lotta more info on this. Mild treatments usually result in mild results. Not enough reviews especially from MedSpa and RealSelf. I wouldn't do this without independent doctors reviews.

fraxel laser

KB, it was most likey Fraxel Restore. Repair is much more intense and the recovery time is much longer, and it costs more. There is a 4-5 month waiting period in between Repair treatments.

How to get Professional strength Terproline in the US

I have searched PubMed and there is no mention of terproline, but there is tetraproline. I would think that means it is just not available in the USA, or we are dealing with a brand name.
