9 months out from 3 aggressive Fraxel restores. I had an adverse reaction although I am very healthy with no autoimmune disorders and heal well. I followed up with two derms (one is out of my state) that do Fraxel. The local derm told me to "do nothing until Spring" - not even Retin A as my skin needed to heal. I recently saw her again for Botox, filler and a possible Vbeam. This time, she told me my skin was traumatized and needed until the Fall to heal. Do fillers prohibit healing?
Without seeing your photos, it's hard to tell what you need. But, fillers do not interfere with the healing of skin that has been treated with Fraxel.
Now my neck is covered with hyperpigmentation. I have tried skin bleaching creams like hydroquinone, kojic acid. What else can I do?
In some instances, light and repeated chemical peels may be of benefit but it sounds as if you are very prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would avoid any intervention for at least a year to allow spontaneous resolution. Any further intervention could produce further darkening.
