I would appreciate your opinion. I had a full face fraxel (restore) treatment 3 months ago due to my acne scarring. Now, I notice some new fine lines around eyes. Can fraxel cause new fine lines? Also, why do doctors insist on full face treatment?
Fraxel treatments have improved, but not caused, fine lines. Many factor can lead to fine lines, especially around the eyes. The level of moisture in your skin, weight loss, etc.
Sometimes we see that when we treat a particular condition, another becomes more noticeable even though it was there before. We certainly see that when brown spots disappear and red spots are prominent.
Treating the whole face makes sense from many standpoints. If you can achieve 10% tightening around the entire face, then you would see more of an improvement than 10% around a set of lines without the tightening in the rest of the skin.
Maintaining even pigmentation is another reason to do the full face, as improving one area significantly will lead to disparity. When you go to a car wash, you get the whole car washed even though the spots may only be on the left side of your car. The whole body of the car looks more lustrous after a complete treatment and your face does too.
im looking to get this laser done on my belly. b/c i have stretch marks everywhere on my tummy. its very unwanted scars i cant ware a two piece b/c its so ugly. please somebody let me know if this is a good thing to do.
In my opinion, Fraxel does not remove stretch marks. If you meet with a physician about stretch marks, make sure you see many before and afters of people who have stretch marks like yours before deciding on a treatment.
