Fraxel: Pin pricks/Orange Peel Texture

By FSRB on 18 Sep 2011

Does this strange pin prick/orange peel texture ever fade?  I am 15 months out from 3 very, very aggressive treatments.  Some of the holes form together to make lines.  Are these microscars, pores or laser pattern?  I am beginning to think that I am stuck with this texture!!

Not sure if it gets better - yet... 9 months after treatment and I have the same orange peel look in areas. Stretch your skin (for example, if in cheek area, press out skin with tongue)to see if the problem is from enlarged oil glands under the skin. That appears to be my problem - which is not a problem that I had before treatment.

Have you seen any improvements?

Interesting....I have heard that Dr Obagi puts his patients on Accutane for a short period after treatment to shut down oil glands. To me this makes sense.

Hi! I have had this procedures three times now, one year apart each from the other. The "weird" texture only last few weeks after treatment for me. The laser that is used on me is the Fraxel Restore SR1500 which is not the strongest one. I am so happy with the results. My skin has improved a lot over this 3 years. I have been using Obagi products all this time too (with tretinoin in one of the creams). If the procedure is done by professionals with the right settings I think it has to produce good results.
