I had the CO2 Resurface 10/3 and still having very many issues. The tech that did it offered to do another Resurface this week for 500. I have my entire face covered in splotches that are getting worse with time. I went to a Licensed Dermatoligist he has recommended Fraxel test sites for the engraved lines which Im starting to think is permanent scarring. Is it too soon for Fraxel? is that safe? will test sites heal uneven on my face making it look worse?
If you are still having problems with you skin 3 months after CO2 resurfacing something is most likely not going well with the healing process. The primary concerns are scarring and infection but reaction to topically applied agents must be considered as well. I would seek an opinion from a physician who is extremely experienced in dealing with complications of laser skin resurfacing. Whether your treatment is with a Fraxel brand device or a Dot Matrix device does not matter nearly as much as the experience, skill, and judgment of the person operating the device. You may need vascular laser therapy and/or medical therapy at this time rather than more resurfacing; without more information it is impossible to give an opinion as to what your next treatment should be. Your next move should be to do your homework and find a physician who is a skin resurfacing expert.
If Im on Blood Thinner Will It Cause Any Adverse Affects with Fraxel Treatment?
Make sure and tell the person who you are seeing for Fraxel. One can expect a slight increase in pinpoint bleeding with Fraxel laser treatment. It should not be a problem but if you will discuss it beforehand, there will be less reason for concern.
Dear Doctors I am 35 years old , Asian - Skin Fitzpatrick Type 3; and have brown spot on my cheek from Post Inflammatory Pigmentation left from an acne spot. It hasn't responded to 4% Hydroquinone much, and since my skin is sensitive - dont want to try a peel or microdermabrasion which might be harsh. I have read here - both Medlite C6 and Fraxel Dual 1927 thulium are good. My specific question which one is better for PIH, both from 1)effectiveness and 2)safety perspective. Plz Help Answer.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a frustrating condition that usually resolves best with medical treatment. Although I have an extensive cutaneous laser oriented practice, I typically do not use lasers and other technology-based devices in the treatment of PIH as they can actually stir up more hyperpigmentation. Your best bet is medical treatment and time. Mild peels may be of benefit as well.
