Dark skin from Fraxel Restore

By 1972Amy on 14 Feb 2010

I had fraxel restore 2 times. My last treatment was exactly one year ago. It appears that my skin is getting worse as time goes on. Over the summer I noticed a few areas that looked dark below the skin and now a year after treatment I am noticing several areas that are dark under the skin, some of them have very odd patterns.

Does anyone know what this could be? Thank you. I would appreciate to hear from anyone that is going thru the same thing. I would post pictures but it is too upsetting for me. Even writing this post is difficult for me.

I had 2 Fraxel Restore treatments done last year and have started to experience complications. My skin continues to worsen. If I press my finger on my cheeks a red indentation is left on the skin. My skin is scarring. It appears to be damaged below the skin. Please help. Is there a machine that can tell what damage I have below the top layer of skin?

Can you tell us a little more about your treatments? How intense was the energy the doctor used?Was it in full power on both treatments? And how was your recovery time?Were you all red and swallen for many days?Did you had blisters?
