How To Get Rid Of Scars After Fraxel Laser?

I had undergone Fractionated laser treatment in April at a Plastic surgeon's office, which left a prominent scar on my forehead. The area looks patchy and pigmented. I am very disappointed and the Dr is asking me to pay further money for it's treatment. I had already bought the package and paid 3000 for the package. Can anyone suggest how to get rid of them. I am using Obagi, retinA and bleaching cream. But, don't see much difference. I don't want to go back to him either. Thanks in advance.

A: Scarring after Fraxel

A misconception that exists among patients and doctors is that the fractionated lasers dont scar.  This is absolutely incorrect. Almost every laser can cause scarring, afterall they are lasers.  If indeed you have scarring from the Fraxel (which is a brand name and should be clarified if this was the CO2 version or not) then after seeing the plastic surgeon and if their attempts fail you may want to ask them for a dermatologist or another plastic surgeon to refer to who will provide another approach to your management. Again, anytime you have a complication, report it to your treating doctor then if you are not satisfied seek a second and third opinion as needed. Often times your treating doctor will know who is the best in the area to help and will be happy to help you be seen by them quickly.

Keloids Around Nipple After Breast Surgery

After a Breast Surgery I Developed Keloids Around the Nipple( Like a Ring).. Help?

A: Keloids after surgery

A quick and easy solution is to start with a steroid injection by your plastic surgeon or dermatologist.  These are not the steroids you hear about on TV with athletes trying to get stronger but rather like the steroids you would rub on a rash.  Side effects are usually minimal but first discuss this with the surgeon who operated on you.

Los Angeles Doctor Recommendations for Keloid Removal via Radiation, and Cost?

This Year I Had my 4th Surgery Trying to Remove a Keloid in my Earlobe and It's Back Again. Looking for a doctor that uses radiation to cure the keloid after surgery! Please help!... I'm from los Angeles ca, and how much would it cost?

A: LA Surgeon for your keloids

I would recommend you meet with Dr Edgar Fincher of Moy Fincher dermatology to discuss how to best treat your keloids. There are other options rather than radiation that should be effective and safer than using radiation.
