Have you had melasma laser treatment?
Posted 19 Aug 2007
Has anyone out there had Fraxel laser to treat melasma, and if so, how did your melasma react in the immediate weeks after your treatment?
I also had the fraxel treatment for my melasma. And I am not happy with the results at all. I now have a raccoon look going underneath my eyes. I have been using Retin-A Micro with little results. The next cream I am going to try is E-Lure.
If a PA still needs the physician to look through the chart and review their work ( and also bear some if the responsibility for their work ) then they most certainly need more stringent CME and Recertification guidelines.
As someone who hyperpigments easily I wouldn't trust anyone but a physician with a good understanding of lasers and experience with such a skin type. It's just to risky. You definitely get what you pay for.
