Hello there, I have underwent fractional CO2 laser resurfacing about a month ago and I'm getting pretty good results for textured scarring. However, there are some distinct scarred or enlarge pores that are not seeing much improvement (including some icepicks I suppose, but I'm not overly concerned with those). Mainly on my CHEEKS and on my NOSE. TCA cross is probably not an immediate option since it doesn't seem to be offered in Minneapolis. What are my other possible options? Thank you
Hello! A month ago I did fractionated laser treatment (ablative). My skin was very clear, I only had some scars I wanted to get rid of. But no acne. Now, after a month, my skin is still pink and I have started to get some pimples (which I dont use to get). My nose have a lot of pink small marks/dots that came up out of nowhere. I have already talked with doctors about these marks on my nose but they dont really know what it is. I didnt have them before. Would really appreciate your help!
Had fractal done under eyes 4 weeks ago today. Post healing, I still have a lot of redness and what appears to be new, tiny broken blood vessels. A week ago my doctor put me on clobetasol propionate, a steroid cream, 2x day, but it hasnt really helped. Any advice appreciated!
Will my 30-40 blister scars ever go away? What can I do? Also I have big brown and red patches all over my face, particularly around my mouth and under my chin. They look like bruises rather than brown spots rising to surface. I'm so concerned that my face is permanently scarred from this. sorry, photos are not in order. I have gone back to the company who treated my face. They've been very nice and are trying to resolve this with creams and previously with hydrocortisone for swelling.
Dear doctor. Good day. I'd had fractional laser on both cheeks to minimize acne scars appearance on 2nd September 2012. The dermatologist promised me that everything will turns out well within 2 weeks. But it's almost 4 weeks now, and both cheeks are still red. Is this called redness? Or hyperpigmentation? Or PIH? Another dermatologist that I consulted for 2nd opinion last week, gave me stiefel's physiogel AI cream but I dont think it's working. Please help, doc.
I've done fractional laser to treat my acne scars month ago, then my DR subscribed Stratamed gel 10g combined with Zarotex & Contractubex daily, because I still have very tiny acne scars and redness, Are there any precautions I should take while using this combination and how long to use it?
I have a severe acne scar and to remove it, I have done a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing 1 month ago. However, I did not see any dramatic improvement as it is promised and the result of the laser is rather disappointing. Based on my knowledge, I will be able to see the full result of the laser in 2-3 months after the collagen stops remodeling. My question is: How well the collagen remodeling phase improve my acne scar? Will it be noticeable or just a little improvement?
