Excimer laser therapy--effective or not?

Hello all! I have my first excimer laser therapy this Friday and was just curious on the effectiveness of the treatment...? Last time I went to the dermatologist, she was very do this and this and this and did not sit down thoroughly with me and explain this in great detail or give me any information on it spreading :(

  • I did the treatment last year for my face and spots on my chest and back. I went to the dermatologist to do it and an RN nurse actually did it there for me. Some of her other patients did see results. I did it for 13 sessions and did not see any results. I had to stop because my insurance said they would no longer cover it. The nurse said it could take up to 30 sessions to see if you will start to see signs of repigmenting. But some people show right away it all depends. So I'm not sure if it would of worked if I would have continued it. Hope you see good results. I have heard that people have more success if they go 3 times a week instead of 2. I only went 2 times a week.
