Alina, 35 years, Moscow:
"I looked at the photos of girls and their reviews before and after photorejuvenation, I tried it myself. The result is satisfied - the skin on the face was pulled up and refreshed, wrinkles small under the eyes decreased, and nosogobki noticeably smoothed. It's been 7 months since everything is fine. "
Xenia, 28 years old, Kursk:
"I was advised by my beautician to reduce photorejuvenation to reduce the vascular network and to remove the irregularities after acne on the cheeks, and in parallel to rejuvenate. Wrinkles do not bother me so far, so the main interest was in eliminating scars and asterisks. I will not say that everything disappeared without a trace, but the situation has improved noticeably. "
