I got Fraxel 1550 done 6 days ago and my skin is breaking out TERRIBLY. The first few days my face was swollen, red, and began to flake. The past two days my skin has began getting more irritated. It looks the worst that it ever has!!! Deep red bumps are covering my jawline and chin. I have only the post treatment kit to treat my face. I am on spirolactone for hormonal acne and my medspa lady did treat my skin pretty aggressively. Is this a normal and should I be (more worried) than I already am?
I use to have really bad cystic acne causing me to scar on my skin. I have few breakouts but ive been researching that you cant undergo the treatment since it can harm your skin. I went to a dermatology clinic and they said a fraxel treatment is what i need. I just want to fix my scarring or lesson the scars. I also would like to know what is the best treatment that works and is less invasive for im afraid of risks.
I had an allergic reaction to a retinol/bpo product which gave me cystic acne and PIH. I still have occasional breakouts and read that fraxel can cause some people to break out. Is this true? Or could it just be from the recovery cream they use after?
I use retin a micro and onexton. Last time I had a fraxel I was on different topicals they told me 3 to 5 days before to stop using them. Although in those five days I got quite oily and ended up getting a few breakouts my question is prior to the treatment am I able to just use a tiny little bit of these topicals to keep the breakouts at bay ? My last fraxel went well otherwise. No results but was a decent treatment.
Fraxel Laser treatment Monday (6 days from now). I take spironolactone for acne and I want to BE SURE I don't start breaking out after my Fraxel treatment. My questions are as follows: 1. What is absolute BEST RX antibiotic to prevent breakouts from Fraxel? 2. Any topical RX that will prevent breakout/heal my skin/ not clog pores like crazy? Thank you soo much for your help, ...just want to make sure I dont get more acne scarring from Post fraxel breakouts! :)
It has been a week since my first fraxel restore treatment and I have had a small breakout. I was wondering if it would be okay to do a sulfur mask to try to calm it down a bit or if that would be too harsh for my skin right now. Also, is it normal for previous red marks to seem more pronounced after the treatment and will these fade?
I had two Fraxel lasers (three weeks apart) in a certified plastic surgeon in order to remove my acne scars. After my first Fraxel I had a few breakouts but I had antibiotics and they were down soon. After my second Fraxel a whole bunch of cystic breakouts started to appear on my face and antibiotics won't help this time. I went to my doctor by he didn't help me at all, he just perscribed more antibiotics.Will I stay like that forever? Please help!
6 weeks after my last of 4 treatments, my face looks terrible. I am breaking out with deep acne and have larger more congested ores on my nose and cheeks. Can I do anything to help this? I was using retin a per my doctor but seemed to make it worse. I have very light skin and blond hair with acne and large pores before this... Any suggestions?
