Real Patient Review โ€“ Acne Treatment

Just got back from Medicare Poly Clinic where Dr. Umair did a Fractional laser treatment on my acne scars. Honestly, I was a bit nervous but Dr. Umair walked me through everything and made me feel at ease. The clinic itself was pretty cool too.
The treatment was spot on – Dr. Umair really knows what they’re doing. Can’t wait to see the full results but so far, so good. Would definitely recommend!
