I did fraxel repair for my acne scars 2 days ago. Exactly 22/11/2016. When I woke up today and when looked into the mirror. The scab was partially gone. After that in the afternoon I jus touched it and the remaing scab flakes off. I am really worried that it is really red and that part is little pitted now.. Its like a small vacant place there. I want to know that does this will improve? Before it was flat. It became a little hole like in my face. I am really worried.. Need ur help
I had a Fraxel (dual I think) patch test done 4 days ago. See photo of my wrist. It's hundreds of little scabs, and bigger ones where there's an overlap. I can't imagine doing this to my face. Is that normal recovery? I had Fraxel done 8 years ago, and I never experienced a scab/ crust like surface such as this.
I had fraxel dual from my dr 3 days ago to to correct my acne and burn scarring. He told me to tell him what settings to use but I had no clue. I had fraxel a couple years ago with a different dr who used high settings, but I had no odd side effects. My current derm set it at 8/10 and I oozed yellow liquid & it crusted over. When I called, he told me to use Polysporin. I'm worried all the crust and raw skin may cause more scarring? & is it normal that my burn scar is showing no improvement yet?
Is it possible to do fraxel restore on isolated area on the scar itself instead of whole right cheek to blend it in? because that is what the physician did when i had a fraxel restore for my indented scar 2 months ago. Ive had minor blistering, crusting/scabbing during the recovery process and did not expect such long recovery time. I Have sensitive skin and im afraid the intensity treated the other area just to blend can cause damage as my main concern is the indented scar.
So Ive done 1 Fraxel Restore 4 days ago. It was meant to be on a scar on my mid right cheek. However, The Doctor did my whole right mid cheek area. She said they usually treat it around the scar as well for better result. Its been 4 days my right cheek its like still dark purple red, crusting, kinda sting itchy sometimes. If i put sunscreen on it cant be wash off cause i cannot rub my skin and it feel so rough sandpaper like along with those side effect. She said 3-4 days heal...so frustrated.
